Pelicans Reportedly Trading Jose Alvarado To Knicks For Dalen Terry, 2 Second-round Picks
The Pelicans are reportedly trading Jose Alvarado to the Knicks for Dalen Terry, two second-round picks and cash, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. A Brooklyn native, Alvarado will join a New York squad that's in need of some backcourt depth and sits in second place in the Eastern Conference standings.
Alvarado is averaging 7.9 points, 3.1 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game this season, which is a bit of a decline from a year ago. Alvarado is in his fifth year in the NBA, all with New Orleans, and has primarily been the team’s spark plug off the bench. Alvarado signed with the Pelicans in 2021 as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia Tech.
The Knicks acquired Terry from the Bulls in Wednesday night's trade for Guerschon Yabusele. Chicago drafted Terry with the 18th pick in the 2022 draft, and the 23-year-old guard has mostly come off the bench for the Bulls in the last four seasons. This year, Terry is averaging 3.5 points, 1.3 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game. He will join a Pelicans squad that is in second-to-last place in the Western Conference.
Alvarado's arrival in New York comes at an important time. According to The Athletic, key reserve Deuce McBride will undergo surgery Friday for a core muscle injury that could sideline him for the remainder of the regular season.
