One consistent name in NBA trade rumors has been Jrue Holiday of the New Orleans Pelicans. He does not seem to fit into their future plans and this could lead to a trade. Could the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers be potential trade partners to make something work?
The Pelicans made it clear that they are interested in rebuilding once they sent Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers. They received Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, and Josh Hart in the deal. New Orleans drafted Zion Williamson with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
There has been no shortage of intriguing signs from the Pelicans with Ingram winning the NBA’s Most Improved Player of the Year Award ranking highly. Let’s not forget, Williamson caught the attention of many during each of his appearances and showed a highly impressive ceiling.
The Hawks and 76ers have also been in trade rumors and could benefit from getting involved in a potential deal with the Pelicans. There are big pieces on both teams that could be moved this offseason along with NBA Draft picks.
