The New Orleans Pelicans might be looking into another blockbuster trade this offseason.
Of course, those rumors have to do with star forward Brandon Ingram and the big move was acquiring star guard Dejounte Murray.
Markkanen would be a massive pickup for the Pelicans, although Ingram would likely be part of the trade heading back to the Jazz. At 27 years old, Markkanen would fit the long-term picture for New Orleans. He would fill the void left by Ingram and could form a lethal front-court duo with Zion Williamson.
Any move to acquire Markkanen would likely be followed up with a big contract extension. Markkanen is set to hit the open NBA free agency market following the 2024-25 season. New Orleans would not want to let him get away and would likely love to make him their long-term center.
