5 potential sellers to watch near the trade deadline: New Orleans Pelicans

There have been several players on that the New Orleans Pelicans that authors on The Sixer Sense have written on. On top of that, they have clearly been one of the early sellers in this season, as J.J. Redick, Lonzo Ball, Eric Bledsoe have all been in the rumor mill.

More from The Sixer Sense

Redick is the obvious choice for most Philadelphia 76ers fans as he had the best stretch of his career with the Sixers. Whether it be a trade or via the buyout market, the Redick should be top of the Sixers wish list this season.

Former second overall pick Ball wouldn’t be a bad fit at the right price. He’s a starting-level point guard but would be a great backup on a contender, so he might be worth the risk as Sheldon Washington of The Sixer Sense recently put it. The biggest questions surrounding acquiring Ball for the 76ers would be what do the Pelicans want in return and could he co-exist with Ben Simmons.

Although Bledsoe is on the trading block, he’s probably the least attractive player out of the three guards. Bledsoe doesn’t have a great history co-existing with other point guards. Not only in New Orleans currently but also when he was on the Phoenix Suns. Besides that, he has three years left on a four-year contract originally worth $70 million and is making $16.9 million, which isn’t a super attractive deal for Philly to take on.
