The Hypothetical Trade (via Bleacher Report)

Bucks Receive: JJ Redick

Pelicans Receive: 2020 No. 24 overall Pick, D.J. Wilson, Ersan Ilyasova

This is about the kind of return that the Pelicans should expect in a trade for Redick. A first-round pick is a major positive and two role players.

As for the Bucks, it’s a cheap deal that could help add talent around Giannis Antetokounmpo to win now. Redick isn’t a star running mate for the Greek Freak, but Khris Middleton has proven that he can be “Robin” to Antetokounmpo’s “Batman.”

Let’s take a closer look at why this trade makes sense for both the Pelicans and Bucks.
