Starting:
Last year, the New Orleans Pelicans attempted to straddle a line between contending for the playoffs and building around Zion Williamson in a post-Anthony Davis future. Now, the franchise appears prepared to take a step backward.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported the Pelicans traded Jrue Holiday to the Milwaukee Bucks for Eric Bledsoe and George Hill. According to Wojnarowski, New Orleans is also getting three first-round picks and multiple pick swaps.
Trade:
The Grizzlies initially acquired the 31-year-old in a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans, which also sent Steven Adams and flipped first-round picks to Memphis in exchange for Jonas Valanciunas.
Though Bledsoe was arguably the biggest name in the deal, it was only a temporary move, with Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports immediately reporting he was “not expected to stay in Memphis.”
Age:
He is 31 years old. Eric was born on 9 Dec, 1989.
