re: Pelicans to bring Mickey and quality offer to Oden meeting

The New Orleans meeting is expected to include Mickey Loomis, the Pelicans' head of basketball operations and the NFL Saints' executive vice president and general manager, as well as Pelicans GM Dell Demps and coach Monty Williams. The Pelicans are expected to offer a contract paying close to $3 million in the first season. At least three other teams are expected to offer similar money, a league source said.
What this probably means is a S&T with Portland for their $2.65 million cap room MLE. The Pelicans have to send back at least $1.75 million in salary. Roberts and Miller combined aren't quite enough, only $1.57 million. Have Jackson or Thomas actually signed with the team yet? If they have then they may not be eligible to be traded which would mean you have to start looking at Rivers or Smith to make the full cap room MLE work.

I'd love to take a gamble on him, but not at the expense of Rivers or JSmoove.

Didn't realize he was getting this type of money. I need to go look over our cap situation. Haven't looked into it since the last few signings.

I don't really want to get rid of Miller. He seems like a good bench player and a player we can develop into the future. I just trust Miller's future more than Oden's.
If we could sign him for minimum money without losing pieces, I'm for it. If we have to give up players and hurt our cap situation for more than two years, I'm not so sure.

Thomas and Jackson do not seemed signed.
Or Stiemsma. Can use Morrow now if he was signed into room (possible, but not likely) or in September if not (aggregation rules).
