With just a few weeks to go until the NBA’s trade deadline, teams around the league are expected to strongly consider their options with various big-name players potentially up for grabs.

One such player is Atlanta’s John Collins, who has been in the rumor mill all season long. Despite the improved play of late, the Hawks are still not a contending team, and Collins’ future with the franchise is in doubt.

According to the most recent report from Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes, the New Orleans Pelicans reached out to the Hawks at one point on Collins before talks ultimately fell short.

The New Orleans Pelicans reached out to the Atlanta Hawks regarding forward John Collins, but talks were merely preliminary, according to league sources.

Atlanta is fielding offers for Collins but is comfortable keeping him on the roster past the trade deadline if the right move does not materialize.

While the Pels may not be the favorites to land the versatile young big man, they are one of the few teams with enough assets to at least start the conversation.

He’d be a premier fit alongside Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson, and CJ McCollum and could thrive in a fresh environment with new opportunities. But as we know, Collins isn’t the only one that the Pels are considering this trade season.


Pelicans Also Have Interest In Two Raptors Wings

In the East, the Toronto Raptors are another team on the cusp of major changes, and several of their talented veterans could be had for the right price. Apparently, OG Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr are the two names they were looking at the most.

The Toronto Raptors are notably listening to offers on their core players right now.

New Orleans Pelicans are one of the teams that have registered interest in Toronto Raptors players OG Anunoby & Gary Trent Jr, sources share with @BallySports.

After a hot start to the season, the Pelicans have slowed down over the past few weeks and now sit fourth in the standings with a 26-21 record overall.

Most of their struggles have been the result of injuries, and it remains to be seen if their top guys can stay on the floor for an extended period of time. But if they can get to full strength in time for the playoffs, New Orleans can be a threat to any team in the West.
