Pelicans dream scenario for 2024 NBA Trade Deadline
The one move that could put the Pelicans over the top.
The New Orleans Pelicans are in an interesting position in the Western Conference with the NBA Trade Deadline approaching. They’re a team that has the talent to be one of the better teams in the conference and a potential contender, but they’ve been playing inconsistent basketball. There is one move though that could help put the Pelicans over the top and that’s if they’re able to pull off a trade for the Cleveland Cavaliers Jarrett Allen.
Pelicans need to trade for Jarrett Allen at the NBA Trade Deadline
Jonas Valanciunas has been a solid center option for the Pelicans but they’ve been reportedly kicking the tires on upgrading the center position, most notably with Jarrett Allen via trade. The basis behind the rumored interest is the Pelicans desire to get a center who fits the future timeline alongside Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram.
