Trade Rumor: Pelicans Dealing JJ Redick and Eric Bledsoe

The New Orleans Pelicans are in a tough predicament as the team is currently sitting 11th in the Western Conference, on the outside looking in at the playoff picture. While the team knows they have the talent to turn things around, the direction of the franchise is the biggest question mark as we approach the March 25th trade deadline.

The team is 14-19 on the season and the likes of Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and Steven Adams aren't going anywhere any time soon. After that is anyone's guess.

Veteran shooter JJ Redick has been linked to several trade rumors and now the team is reportedly open to moving shooting-guard Eric Bledsoe. The 31-year-old has two seasons left on his contract that pays him roughly $18.5 million per season. This season has been tough on Bledsoe who is having one of his worst years in the league, only averaging 12.8 points per game.
