makes me think Luka constantly cooking Patrick Beverly is why this trade went down. For me to fully believe that, I'd have to know how good of a defensive player Eric Bledsoe is, and I have no clue since I don't watch Pelicans games.

I also have to think Reggie Jackson playing well in this off season and the Clippers having more confidence in him is why this trade went down as well. He in theory makes Rondo expendable.

Still a somewhat wild trade since the Pelicans pretty much dumped the dude to get rid of his salary.
