Pelicans making Jaxson Hayes, Nickeil Alexander-Walker quite available

Scotto: Rival executives also believe Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jaxson Hayes are both available for the right upgrade as well. According to multiple executives, the Pelicans are more willing to listen on moving Alexander-Walker than in the past.

More on this storyline

Your name is starting to get thrown around a little bit with trade rumors online. Have you heard about any of that? If so, what’s your reaction? Jaxson Hayes: I haven’t seen much of it. People will tell me about it sometimes, so it’s hard to pretend like it’s not there. But I don’t pay it any mind. I’m just focusing on myself and making myself better. I want to help whatever team I’m playing for — whether it’s the Pelicans, Birmingham or whoever. I want to be the best player I can be. -via The Athletic / December 18, 2021

Do you feel like that can happen in New Orleans? Jaxson Hayes: If I get the chance, I will. You never know. Right now, I’m not getting the chance. I hope so. I love it here. This has been my home for three years. I’d much rather it happen here than anywhere else. But if it’s not in God’s plan, then it’s not in God’s plan. I’m just staying ready and focusing on myself. I’ll deal with whatever God gives me. -via The Athletic / December 18, 2021

Jake Fischer: The Pelicans are going to be buyers as long as they have the realistic chance that Zion Williamson can come back healthy and soon. Jaxson Hayes is a name I’ve heard that they’re making available there. -via HoopsHype / December 15, 2021
