Pelicans are not trying to trade Ryan Anderson

If the New Orleans Pelicans make any trade deals before this upcoming February trade deadline, it likely won’t involve power forward Ryan Anderson.

According to sources within the team, they are not currently exploring any deals involving Anderson, although he has been the subject of trade rumors in the past week.
