PERFECT FIT: The Pelicans URGENTLY Need an Aaron Gordon-Type Like OG Anunoby or Scottie Barnes

from Locked On Pelicans - Daily Podcast On The New Orleans Pelicans · host Locked On Podcast Network

New Orleans Pelicans hunt for their own Aaron Gordon—can the right trade piece propel them into contention? Jake Madison spotlights trade targets who fit the Pelicans’ need for a versatile, defensive-minded forward, exploring both star-caliber options like OG Anunoby, Scottie Barnes, and Keegan Murray, as well as more attainable players including Patrick Williams, Miles Bridges, Tari Eason, and Dorian Finney-Smith. Discover which skill sets perfectly complement Zion Williamson or Derik Queen and how these additions could cover defensive gaps while energizing the squad. The episode also breaks down the value of Saddiq Bey and Jose Alvarado as potential trade assets, weighing whether their impact should be sacrificed for an upgrade. With upcoming matchups and a pivotal New Year’s Eve game against the Chicago Bulls, Jake Madison examines the Pelicans’ strategy on and off the court as they prepare for a critical stretch of the NBA season. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-pelicans/ Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nba#NewOrleansPelicans #ZionWilliamson #NBA #pelicans   Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
