Charania also reported that the Pelicans are shopping guards Lonzo Ball and JJ Redick, so you can put two-and-two together on that one.

Oklahoma City Thunder big Mike Muscala has been playing New Orleans center Steven Adams in online chess during the OKC road trip.
The 23-year old is averaging 12 points, 4.7 assists and 3.8 rebounds this season (he recorded averaged 11.8 points, seven assists and 6.1 rebounds from similar minutes last season). Meanwhile, Reddick’s veteran presence would make him a valuable asset to offer up along with his shooting from deep, although that has dropped from 45.3 per cent to 30 this season.
