On his The Old Man & The Three podcast on Wednesday that he co-hosts, guard JJ Redick criticized New Orleans Pelicans executive vice-president of basketball operations David Griffin for not honoring his word.
Redick also expressed his strong desire to play for the Dallas Mavericks, although he admitted he was shocked he was traded to the Mavs and would rather be playing somewhere in the Northeast where he can be closer to his wife and two young kids, who reside in Brooklyn.
The Mavs acquired Nicolo Melli and Redick in a trade with the Pelicans last week for James Johnson, Wes Iwundu, a second-round draft pick and cash considerations.
