Jordan Hawkins' recent struggles with the New Orleans Pelicans have led to speculation that his time with the team may be coming to an end. Despite being a 14th-overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Hawkins hasn't been able to establish himself as an NBA player. He has received five straight DNP-Coach's Decisions and hasn't played since January 18. Hawkins' shooting percentages are among the lowest in the league, and he rarely goes to the free-throw line. His lack of strength, physicality, and playmaking ability make it difficult for him to contribute to the team. The Pelicans had picked up Hawkins' fourth-year option, but it's unlikely they'll get much in return for him in a trade. Including him in a larger trade or salary dump may be the only way to move on from Hawkins.
