Los Angeles Clippers Receive: Eric Bledsoe

New Orleans Pelicans Receive: Patrick Beverley, Terrance Mann, Mfiondu Kabengele

This trade is highlighted by Eric Bledsoe going to the Los Angeles Clippers. This would give the Clippers a starting-caliber, veteran point guard to play alongside Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.

Bledsoe is a player who knows how to play alongside stars and will benefit the Clippers come postseason time. He provides a more dynamic offensive impact than Patrick Beverley while being able to still pester opposing guards in on-ball defense.

In return, New Orleans would get back Beverley. He would be able to lead the Pelicans moving forward. He is on a short-term deal which does not hamstring New Orleans for years to come. He would also get Terrance Mann and Mfiondu Kabengele in the deal.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal would benefit both sides right away.
