          Trade targets: All 30 teams

          New Orleans Pelicans

          Record: 20-32
          12th place in West

          Status: Sellers

          At this point, even the Pelicans probably have to concede they're unlikely to jump the teams they trail in the standings and make up a 6.5-game gap on the Utah Jazz for the eighth seed. So New Orleans could look to move 2016 free agents like Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon in pursuit of long-term solutions.
