@ChrisBHaynes: Free agent John Salmons has agreed to one-year, $2 million deal with the Pelicans. @ESPNSteinLine was first to report it.


Did we just use our exception?

It sure sounds like we did. However, it's possible we never had to renounce our Bi Annual Exception.

I doubt we used our exception.


I think the NBA does some weird cap math when it comes to veterans on small-money deals to encourage teams to keep vets around instead of just cutting them for guys on the rookie minimum.

Salmons' minimum would be at least $1.4m as a 10+ year vet, based on an old chart, so this isn't much over the minimum for him.
