Year they dropped it about 5M after that, and when he turned that down they mutually agreed that he would test free agency.
All the local reports today are saying they arent the least bit angry or upset that he left, but they are absolutely fuming that he is spreading lies about the process...
I think hes an excellent fit in New Orleans. Its no secret that they have wanted him for quite some time, they were trying to acquire him last trade deadline before they traded for Mirotic. Hes going to fit into their style of getting out and running, hes going to fit into all the different...
He is right, technically speaking. No contract was ever put on the table, but his people and the Pelicans had been discussing a new deal for quite some time. He knew of 3-4 deals at midnight on July 1st that he could have chosen to sign if he wanted to. He felt disrespected by only being...
He wasnt being lowballed though.
He was also being offered 3-4 different deals from the Pels, and all were incentive driven. He likely would have earned much more than just 16M.
If he had been patient somebody would have thrown something at him. The guy is just an emotional asshole and made a rushed emotional decision because the Pelicans werent offering what he felt he was worth. Now no team has his bird rights and the dude is going to miss out on a shit ton of money.

There was belief in the Pels organization that he will be back quite early in the year.
He turned down 15M from the Pels, and his bird rights. Seems like a short sighted move to be honest
Youre right, which just even pushes the point further home that the league is broke. If youre over the cap, and over the tax, fuck having any money to spend in free agency.
The next lockout is going to be ugly
