New Orleans Pelicans Trading JJ Redick
The New Orleans Pelicans are currently in trade talks with several teams surrounding shooting guard JJ Redick. The veteran deep threat is making just over $13 million this season and is a free agent at season's end. There's a number of playoff contenders that could use his shooting abilities.

With Danny Green and Seth Curry already on their roster, the 76ers don't necessarily seem like the perfect fit for Redick, however the Nets could use some perimeter shooting for when their superstars get double teamed. It also doesn't hurt Brooklyn's case to land Redick, when the 36-year-old owns a home there.
Redick has played in 16 games this season and is averaging 7.9 points per game, 1.8 rebounds and is shooting 29.8% from three. His career average is 41.4% so obvious something's going on this season.
Perhaps with a change of scenery, Redick can get back to knocking down big shots. Expect a trade to be announced in the next two weeks.
