re: Pelicans are not expected to offer BI extension this offseason, moving in new direction

My guess is that they are trying to do what the Lakers did during Kobe’s final years…

I don’t see Larry Ellison allowing his GM to throw a ton of money at the equivalent of Luol Deng and Tomofey Mozgov, forcing them to dump assets to rid themselves of them.
