Why This Trade Would Benefit The New Orleans Pelicans
The New Orleans Pelicans are already ahead of many rebuilding teams. They have the star power that is needed to compete and now it is about putting the right role players in the system.
They sent Jrue Holiday to Milwaukee in hopes of getting younger. Bledsoe came back in the deal and he could be the next trade piece for the Pelicans.
Another name to keep an eye on in the offseason is Lonzo Ball. He is a restricted free agent and could get a big offer on the market. It would be wise for the Pelicans to let him walk and use the money elsewhere.
In the trade market, Gordon is an underrated piece that could bring a new dynamic into the offensive end. He is a veteran who has plenty of experience in the postseason and could act as a leader on and off the floor.

This is a move to show that the Pelicans are interested in moving quicker than expected. Eric Gordon is the type of role player that can fit in well with both Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson.
