Signing the QO would be awful for the Pelicans and that wouldn't be until next summer, IIRC. Theoretically, he could make more $, but that's assuming the cap goes from $88 to $100+. That's entirely possible, but no one really knows what will happen.

There has been some talk of AD not signing this summer and then using his smaller cap hit to load up in FA before signing next summer. Unlike the QO route, they still retain his restricted rights. But they can hold off signing him to maximize their cap flexibility. Connjecture is that is what the Spurs are doing with Kawhi.

To me, it seems sort of silly. Davis is the franchise. Don't mess around with him. Lock him up for as much as he wants as soon as possible. He'll get ~30% of the $88M cap for 5 years and be set for life.

Signing the QO would also suck because there is still a real chance we don't make the playoffs next season, which would be seen as moving backwards. The Western Conference is that good. Basically have to hope Marc leaves, Dallas rebuilds, and Spurs all retire. If OKC comes back to full strength and nothing really changes we will be back to battling for our playoff lives.
