NBA Trade Rumors: 3 teams that should trade for Kemba Walker this month

#2 New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans v Charlotte Hornets

The New Orleans Pelicans are currently scrambling to make a number of high profile signings before the February trade deadline, as the organization is desperate to convince Anthony Davis to stay with the team that he has been with since 2012.

One of the positions that the team needs to strengthen is at point guard, as the Pelicans have struggled to replace Rajon Rondo since he left the team to join the Los Angeles Lakers last the summer. Elfrid Payton is the teams current starting guard, although doubts remain over the 24-year-old's ability to steer a team into the playoffs.

A Pelicans move for Walker would not only strengthen the team's playoff push but also demonstrate to Davis that New Orleans are serious about contending. Ultimately, it is a move that makes a great deal of sense for the Pelicans, and the organization has enough assets to get a deal done.
