Earlier today the rumopr floating around the Twitterverse was that the Memphis Grizzlies were going to move up from #17 in the first round to #10 by taking back Eric Bledsoe's bloated contract from the Pelicans.
Then this popped up:
Pelicans have discussed a deal with Celtics.
Framework of the deal would be No. 10 pick in 2021 NBA Draft & Eric Bledsoe for Marcus Smart & a future pick.
Pelicans are motivated to move Bledsoe for a quality veteran player as well as a future asset to be used in a later deal.
