New Orleans Pelicans have their eyes set on three potential trade targets to bolster their roster:
Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics: The Pelicans have a promising young core and can afford to be selective in their trade pursuits. Jaylen Brown, with his growth in Boston and ability to lead an offense or excel as a sidekick, would be a significant addition. His defensive prowess and scoring ability make him an attractive option. While the Celtics may be reluctant to part with Brown, a trade could be possible if Boston faces early playoff elimination, though it would require a substantial offer from the Pelicans.
Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks: Trading Trae Young would seem unlikely for the Atlanta Hawks unless he himself requests a trade. Young has been impressive since entering the league, showcasing his scoring and playmaking skills. As a player capable of leading an offense and creating opportunities for teammates, he fits the profile of someone a team would want to build around. However, rumors of off-court issues and reported clashes with the former Hawks coach have fueled speculation about his availability, although it remains uncertain.
Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers: While Trae Young may be the ideal acquisition, the Pelicans may need to set their sights higher and pursue a more realistic trade target. Enter Damian Lillard. The Portland Trail Blazers may prefer to retain Lillard, but if they struggle in their attempts to surround him with better talent, a trade could become a possibility. Lillard's scoring ability, shooting efficiency, and impact in big games make him an attractive target for the Pelicans. Trading for Lillard would likely require the inclusion of players like CJ McCollum to match salaries and facilitate the deal.
