The New Orleans Pelicans traded J.J. Redick and Nicolo Melli to the Dallas Mavericks for journeyman James Johnson, Wesley Iwundu and a second-round draft pick.
The pick is coming from the Lakers and would currently be #54, so this was hardly a trade that will shake the foundations of the NBA or really help either team that much.
Dallas gets some theoretical 3-point shooting (though I have some bad news for them…) and the Pels get something for two guys who weren’t in the rotation anyway.
