New Orleans Pelicans: One trade with every team in the Pacific Division

New Orleans Pelicans: A trade with the Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers just won a title and would undoubtedly like to add a few more while they still have LeBron James at the tail end of the longest prime in sports’ history.

While LeBron is there the Lakers will always be looking to add veterans who want to chase a ring on short-term deals. They’ll never have cap space and the Pelicans already have most of their draft assets and young players, so what could they get from the Lakers?

The Lakers were one of the worst 3-point shooting teams in the NBA, so this trade gives them another shooter to go to war with. Redick would fit well with what the Lakers already have and can hold his own on defense. He would have been their best third option this year had he been on the team.

The Pelicans move on from Redick and pick up some much-needed depth. Avery Bradley played well for the Lakers, can still shoot the 3-point shot and is a decent defender off the bench to replace Redick.

They also get some veteran rim protection in JaVale McGee, who allows Jaxson Hayes more time to develop. Both contracts are small and would be up after next season, but the Pelicans would pick up around $4 million for this offseason, which would allow them to potentially add even more depth in free agency.
