Furthermore their attempts to trade Bledsoe signals some 2021 free agency intentions. The decision to trade Lonzo, because they don´t want to pay him can easily be separated from the Bledsoe situation. The Pelicans are in no financial logjam next season with roughly $85M committed in salaries, so the attempt to trade the "virtually expiring" contract of Bledsoe NOW desperately points to max money targets this summer.
