The New Orleans Pelicans will acquire Jrue Holiday from the Philadelphia 76ers for Nerlens Noel and a 2014 first round pick. The first round pick will be top-5 protected.

Holiday signed an extension with the 76ers before last season.

The 76ers will also send the 42nd overall pick to the Pelicans.

The Los Angeles Clippers expect to keep Eric Bledsoe through the end of the NBA Draft.

The Clippers have received interset from the Toronto Raptors, Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons, New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks.

The Clippers are expected to eventually trade Bledsoe due to the presence of Chris Paul.

The New Orleans Pelicans are making Eric Gordon "very available" in trade talks, according to a source that spoke with RealGM.

Gordon signed a four-year, $58 million deal with the Phoenix Suns last offseason that was matched by the Pelicans. Gordon badly wanted to play for the Suns and was publicly disappointed by the Pelicans' decision to match.

Gordon played in just 42 games last season due to a continued string of injuries.

Dell Demps has been scouring Europe in a bid to find young prospects.

"We go over there a few times a year and we’re not just looking at draft guys,'' Demps said. “It’s competitive over there now. You can start watching those guys at young ages and as we track guys here, we track guys there as well.’’

New Orleans signed Brian Roberts in 2012 after scouting him while he played in Germany.

Roberts played in 78 games this past season, which included five starts, and averaged 7.1 points and 2.8 points.

"It all has to line up. If the film looks good and what you’ve heard about the kid is good and all the numbers on paper are good, then hopefully you got yourself a good player," Monty Williams said. "We look to get at least two out of three of those variables. I think most of the guys we brought in fit that mold. I don’t know what the percentage is, but any time you try to get too complicated and over-scout looking for a perfect player, you get yourself in trouble.”

The Denver Nuggets have hired Tim Connelly as general manager, replacing Masai Ujiri.

Connelly was previously with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Tom Thibodeau and Monty Williams will join the coaching staff of USA Basketball.

Thibodeau and Williams will replace Mike D'Antoni and Nate McMillan, while Jim Boeheim will be a carryover on the staff of Mike Krzyzewski.

The next cycle of play begins in 2014 with the World Cup of Basketball.

Austin Rivers had one of the worst statistical seasons in NBA history, but sources say the New Orleans Pelicans are unwilling to give up on him turning around his career.

Rivers was the 10th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft as the Pelicans' point guard of the future.

Greivis Vasquez had a breakout season for the Pelicans at point guard.
