The New Orleans Pelicans are exploring trade options this offseason, specifically for Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner. Turner, known for his rim protection and shooting ability, averaged 11.9 points and 1.6 blocks per game last season. The Pelicans currently lack floor spacing and rebounding, making Turner an intriguing fit. However, his contract, which spans three more years at $108 million, could complicate negotiations. The Pelicans have bad contracts available for trade and may be willing to include drafted assets.
