Lonzo Ball isn’t the only point guard the New Orleans Pelicans could potentially relocate ahead of the NBA trading deadline of March 25.

Veteran Eric Bledsoe was a topic of discussion for the Pelicans to see if they could find a team interested in dump his contract and a first-round pick.

SNY’s Ian Begley reports that the Knicks are keeping an eye on the Ball trade and are one of the teams the Pelicans have talked about accepting the Bledsoe contract.

The Knicks have the cap room to absorb the Bledsoe deal, which has $ 18.1 million for next season and $ 3.9 million of its $ 19.3 million in the 2022-23 season guaranteed.
