Eric Bledsoe and Stephen Adams are the focus of the change they made on Monday at NBA the Memphis Grizzlies and the New Orleans Pelicans, ESPN reported.
The pair of veterans are coming to the Grizzlies along with the 40th overall selections from the 2021 draft and a protected selection from the 2022 draft.
Jonas Valanciunas comes to the Pelicans as well as this year’s practical anthology at 17th and 51st.
New Orleans are creating a salary cap space for August that allows them to either match the offer sheet on the Lonzo Ball, or have a rooftop space to pursue a great free agent point guard, including Kyle Lowry and others. I like Pels Valanciunas as a floor spacer in the middle above Adams, too. https://t.co/3YRyBTEg1S

Point guard Bledsoe and Center Adams gave power to a roster that includes young star Ja Morant as well as troopers Dillon Brooks and Jaren Jackson Jr.
Yahoo Sports said that pending a formal agreement, Memphis could send Bledsoe to another team in a new deal.
League sources say Eric Bledsoe, whom New Orleans has included in the trade package, is not expected to stay in Memphis. Tweet embed.
