Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Eric Bledsoe
New Orleans Pelicans Receive: Dennis Schroder
This would not be a difficult deal to get done. It is a player-for-player swap between two teams heading in very different directions. The Los Angeles Lakers are 22-11 this season in near the top of the Western Conference.
The New Orleans Pelicans are currently 14-18 and fighting their way up to standings. Both Eric Bledsoe and Dennis Schroder know a thing or two about being traded since they were both dealt in the offseason. They would both bring different dynamics to the teams they would be going to and fit into their plans right away.
