Pelicans Attempting to Trade Up in Draft
The New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly attempting to trade up into the draft lottery ahead of this year's draft, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The Pelicans traded up into the lottery last season and selected center Derik Queen. It's unclear who the Pelicans are targeting, but they should have the assets to get a deal done if they want to. That means, Trey Murphy III, Herbert Jones, and Yves Missi could all be available in a potential deal. Jones is one of the league's most coveted two-way players, so he'd likely be the centerpiece of any trade-up deals. The Pelicans are likely just feeling out the waters, but maybe they'll make a big move to jump up ahead of draft day.
