er NBA rules, free agents who signed before Sept. 16 can be traded beginning on Sunday. With that in mind, it's somewhat intriguing that the New Orleans Pelicans released Josh Childress on Friday. Could they be in the market to fill that open roster spot with a trade?

“(General Manager) Dell (Demps) and I have been talking about a number of things,” coach Monty Williams said. “He and his staff are out there looking at everything right now.”

As Darrell Williams of the Advocate notes, the Pelicans could use a "big-body power forward/center," since they are trying to roll along without Anthony Davis for at least another few weeks.

Presumably, if the Pelicans do make a swap, it likely would be a low-level deal to give them some frontcourt depth. There haven't been any specific players connected to the team via trade rumors, but this is something to keep an eye on in the coming days.
