The New Orleans Pelicans are gearing up for the 2024-25 NBA season with hopes of being competitive in the Western Conference. A major concern looms over the future of star forward Brandon Ingram, but the spotlight is also on the team's center position, which is considered a weakness.

Bleacher Report suggests a potential trade with the Detroit Pistons to acquire young center Jalen Duren, who boasts impressive stats from the previous season despite his youth. If the Pelicans can secure him, they could strengthen their roster significantly.
