MPJ Trade to Pelicans? Not Likely | New Orleans Pelicans News

Michael Porter Jr. is a key piece in the Brooklyn Nets’ push for playoff contention this season, but don’t expect him to be traded to the Pelicans anytime soon. Despite his All-Star-caliber performance last year, Brooklyn has no incentive to move him — especially since they don’t control their own draft pick and are focused on winning. The Pelicans, meanwhile, seem satisfied with their current roster and likely wouldn’t have acted earlier if they truly wanted MPJ. While he’s a valuable wing scorer and rebounder, any trade would hinge on a late-season scenario: if the Nets are struggling and the Pelicans are playoff-bound. For now? No deal.
