NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A person familiar with the situation says the Dallas Mavericks have acquired veteran shooting guard JJ Redick and Italian forward Nicolo Melli from New Orleans in a trade that sends power forward James Johnson, small forward Wesley Iwundu, and a second-round draft choice to the Pelicans.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade has not been announced.
The move gives the playoff-contending Mavericks veteran depth and a player in Redick who has been an elite 3-point shooter for most of his career.
