Since both teams seasons ended, the Hawks and the Pelicans have been mentioned as possible trade partners with each this offseason. New Orleans needs a point gu
ard to lead the offense, while Atlanta needs to get better defenders on the perimeter, no matter if they trade Dejounte Murray or Trae Young. The two teams seem to be natural trade partners and Christian Clark at nola.com suggested yesterday that the Pelicans might have more interest in Murray than they would in Young.
In this case, that's Murray, whose playmaking and defensive versatility could bump CJ McCollum back to his natural shooting guard position. He could help create more easy buckets for Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy III, Herb Jones and AJ Griffin, a young potential sharpshooter who fell out of Atlanta's rotation this season.
No matter who Atlanta keeps as their point guard, this is a team that needs size at the forward/wing position, as well as someone who could double as a playmaker and be a two-way threat. While Ingram is not as strong of a defender as he is an offensive player, he would fit a lot of needs for the Hawks.
