The New Orleans Pelicans, despite the return of Zion Williamson, find themselves at the bottom of the Western Conference with a dismal 9-32 record. As the NBA trade deadline approaches, the team is expected to be sellers, with speculation surrounding potential trades involving Williamson and Brandon Ingram. However, it appears that other players might attract interest from playoff contenders.

In a recent article, Greg Swartz from Bleacher Report suggested a hypothetical trade between the Pelicans and the Boston Celtics. The proposed deal would see Javonte Green heading to Boston, while New Orleans would acquire Jaden Springer. Swartz noted that the Celtics' limited trade assets and lack of urgent needs make them likely to pursue depth rather than marquee acquisitions. Green has shown promise during his time with an injury-stricken Pelicans squad, highlighting his potential value as a veteran presence.
