New Orleans Pelicans: How will Bradley Beal rumors affect team?

Bradley Beal Rumors

As much as they say they don’t pay attention, players 100 percent know what is going on in the old rumor mill.

Yesterday, the big news was that several NBA execs said the Pelicans were the most likely to land Bradley Beal in a trade.

We’ve heard this one before but with the expiring contract of Lonzo Ball and the Pelicans’ slow start, it’s not surprising that the Beal rumors are back.

I for one would be ecstatic if the Pelicans landed Bradley Beal, even if that meant trading Lonzo Ball and 10 draft picks.

I doubt Lonzo and the Pelicans feel the same way.

The Pels are going to have to get used to these types of rumors, which come when you have good players that other teams want.

They can’t let it distract them or let external chatter get in the way of the business at hand. Rumors are just rumors and the Pels can’t worry about them.
