The trade sends guard Eric Bledsoe back to the Los Angeles Clippers, the team where he started his NBA career after being drafted 18th overall in 2010
Los Angeles Clippers guards Patrick Beverley, left, and Rajon Rondo, second right, were traded to the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday along with centre Daniel Oturu.The Los Angeles Clippers have brought back guard Eric Bledsoe to the team where he started his NBA career.
“We are excited to add Eric, a strong, versatile guard and an established playmaker who can attack the paint and defend multiple positions,” said Lawrence Frank, the Clippers’ president of basketball operations. “Eric started his career with the Clippers and we’re delighted to bring him back.”Memphis only acquired Bledsoe in a trade July 26 with New Orleans that also brought the Grizzlies centre Steven Adams in exchange for centre Jonas Valanciunas along with a swap of multiple draft picks.
As part of that trade with the Pelicans, the Grizzlies wound up with the 10th overall pick in Stanford forward Ziaire Williams. Memphis is making moves both to improve the roster of a team that lost in the opening round of the playoffs to Utah and keep building around Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr.
