New Orleans receives:

Cash considerations
Dallas receives:
Javonte Green
This trade is contingent on New Orleans making a separate trade to drop below the luxury tax to take back the $1 million in additional salary of Exum. Green is shooting a career-high 38.5% from 3, while Exum has not played this season because of a right wrist injury. The Pelicans are acquiring Exum with part of their $9.9 million trade exception.
On its face, that looks good. But (a) what's in it for NO, and (b) is Green simply going to be a rental that you can't keep past a few months because you have no Bird rights (if so, I'm not sure it's worth the hassle)?
