Multiple NBA teams have expressed interest in trading for Saddiq Bey, a key forward for the New Orleans Pelicans. Bey, 26, who missed the entire 2024-25 season due to a torn ACL, is currently averaging 14.2 points, 6 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game for the Pelicans, on an affordable contract worth $6.1 million with one year remaining. The Pelicans, struggling with a league-worst 5-22 record, are reportedly open to trading several players, including Bey, to acquire assets and improve their roster. Bey was acquired from the Washington Wizards in a three-team deal last offseason, along with Micah Peavy and Jordan Poole. His solid performance this season has made him a desirable target, especially given his relatively low cost and serviceable wing presence. Notably, the Los Angeles Lakers are interested in Bey’s defensive skills, with reports indicating they see him as a valuable addition. Other teams monitoring the trade market include the Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers, who are interested in Pelicans wing Trey Murphy III. In addition to Bey, the Pelicans are also drawing interest for other key players such as Herbert Jones and Trey Murphy III. Jones, known for his defensive prowess, could command two first-round picks if traded. Murphy, who has improved his defense and shooting, is also highly valued and could bring a significant trade haul. Meanwhile, Zion Williamson, who returned early from injury, remains a potential trade asset due to his injury history and the team’s rebuilding efforts. The Pelicans are expected to wait until January 14, when Jones becomes officially trade-eligible, before making major moves. Overall, the Pelicans’ current roster situation and poor record have turned them into a league-wide trading hub, with front offices actively exploring options to reshape the team for future success.
