Want a deadeye three-point shooter on the cheap? Call New Orleans.
The New Orleans Pelicans have made shooting guard Anthony Morrow available for a draft pick, according to CBS Sports' Ken Berger. The sharpshooter is making $1.03 million this season and he has a $1.15 million player option for next year.
It is unclear what sort of pick it would take to get a deal done, but there should surely be numerous teams interested in Morrow's services. The sixth-year veteran is making 48 percent of his three-point attempts this season, which is second in the league behind the Sacramento Kings' Jimmer Fredette.
While Morrow's presence provides the Pelicans floor spacing, he's had a hard time getting on the court for extended minutes in a crowded wing rotation. New Orleans has Tyreke Evans, Eric Gordon, Al-Farouq Aminu and Austin Rivers playing meaningful minutes, and even forward Luke Babbitt, who started the season in Russia, has played more than Morrow in some recent games.
