New Orleans is weighing a trade for Jordan Hawkins, the 14th pick in 2023 who starred in UConn’s national title run, as Memphis shows interest despite his recent dip in shooting and minutes. With Hawkins entering his final guaranteed season worth just over $7M, the Pelicans may need to package assets to move him — a move that could free up cap space and avoid the luxury tax. Memphis, though under the tax and holding a trade exception, is in a rebuilding phase after shedding stars like Bane and Morant, and may hesitate unless the Pelicans offer enough. Both teams are maneuvering aggressively this offseason — Hawkins’ future could be a pivotal piece in their respective blueprints.
