The New Orleans Pelicans have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NBA this season. Even without Zion Williamson on the court, they have the talent to be fighting for the play-in. Yet they find themselves completely out of the playoff picture.
Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas are both having great seasons, and have been picking up the pace lately.
The team got off to an extremely rough start, and although things are looking up, they could still use a little bit of a shake-up to kick things into high gear.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks have been pretty average this year. A team with a superstar like Luka Doncic should never just be average. After rumors swirled that they could look to shake things up this past offseason, they still sit in a very similar position.

If the Mavs were to make a big-time move, Kristaps Porzingis would likely be the odd man out. He’s been super inconsistent throughout his time in Dallas and getting Doncic some better all-around help could be what the team needs moving forward.
Would the Pelicans be interested in adding Porzingis to their squad? What could they give the Dallas Mavericks back in return? What would that sort of trade look like, and why would both teams be interested?
