re: Pelicans inquired about Jammer Nelson

If I'm not mistaken, any money Nelson gets on a new deal offsets money owed to him by Orlando. In essence, he makes the same amount whether the new team gives him the minimum or $3M. The total amount remains the same. So, the smart thing for the player to do is pick the team you want to play for and take the minimum. It allows your new team cap flexibility to improve.

If I'm wrong about the set-off, correct me.
