It seems like the most obvious and simple move would be to trade/ buy out Temple and roll with our 15 man roster.
according to spotrac, LINK pels currently have 7.8MM in tax room.
buying out temple's 5MM obviously doesnt change that, and adding player(s) to take his place shouldnt affect 2022-23 tax status (as long as the adds are less than 7MM)
BUT...for the next season, with 11 players under contract, they would be 30MM+ short of the tax, without zion's extension (or hayes). i think we can safely assume that in 2023-24, the pelicans will be a tax team (and they should be). the pels need to be careful about adding guaranteed salary for 2023 until they know, one way or another, whats going to happen with hayes.
TLDR: they need to get creative to roster liddell, maybe waiving temple is the answer (or dumping him to a space team with a pick). but multiple player moves likely wouldnt be until february when they have more clarity

also, they have team option decisions on lewis (who knows?) and murphy (no brainer) on 10/31/22.
so the players in flux are hayes, lewis, & zion
