there have been new recent negotiations between the Pelicans and restricted free agent Bennedict Mathurin.

New Orleans and a second unnamed suitor, sources say, have shown interest in the Clippers’ RFA.

Ah yes, another ball-dominant non-spacer. Exactly what the Pels need after Queen and Zion

Pelicans can do anything and y’all would flip it as a bad thing.

Dude contributed to a finals team and has great scoring potential if given an opportunity. Why would we, a rebuilding team, not take an opportunity to get a guy like that for almost nothing?

Same with you and Lebron, he could cure cancer and you’ll hate regardless

Because a winning team is more than a collection of 5 players.

All teams are a collection of 5 players, and one of them wins every year

Doesn’t even make sense anyways because they don’t have a cap space lol or even room to offer him an MLE deal under the tax. Unless it’s something like a sign and trade.

This guy is better than Kuminga, but same kinda dude. Great microwave scorer for Heat or Pistons.

DemonicDimples | Kings

Ye he’s pretty much a refined Kuminga, better offensive player, both lazy on defense. Kuminga probably a little more athletic.

Ok so are the pelicans just trying to become the wing bank? Is this their plan to stack assets. Get all the talented wings they can and wait for teams to come calling?

Pleasant_Farm_4762 | Raptors

Squeezing the wing market so they can extort other clubs when they come knockin?

I’d imagine signing Mathurin means Murphy is on the move.

ObiwanSchrute | Pistons

My guess is the Pistons our the other team isk why the Pelicans would do this

jgman22 | Pelicans

3 | 18 hours ago

Zion, Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, Saddiq Bey, and Ben Mathurin

Weird ass collection of wings

rusty512 | Pistons

No Pelicans, you need Duren instead

makes enough sense. he’s a good young player and they’re trying to build something out of nothing. i feel like Mathurin in a sign and trade and one (maybe both?) of the toronto picks for Murphy makes sense.
