Free agent F Trendon Watford has agreed to a one-year, $2.9 million deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, sources tell ESPN. Watford considered multiple options but for New Orleans serves as a productive two-way get late into the offseason after a year in Philadelphia where he notched a 20-point, 17-rebound, 10-assist triple double in November.

There's the 15th roster spot.

Puts us at $195M, about $5M under the tax, so any trades made this season means we aren't taking back over $5M in salary, as we aren't going to go into the tax.

So I’m assuming the guys they brought in for camp are fighting for the last 2-way spot. Houston, Koloko, Bufkin?

Jordan Hawkins has to be dealt soon, right? Karlo too maybe?

I think they're going to want to make room for Bufkin or Houstan.

Let me be clear, I don't want to trade Karlo.

Also, didn't think about Poole.

Looks like a roster battle between Peavy/ Hawk 24/25 y/o and Bufkin/ Houstan 22/23 y/o.

Getting Watford with Peavy on the roster is interesting.

I personally don't think Pierre keeps his 2-way.

(2) Roster spots:
Bufkin/ Peavy/ Houstan/ Hawk

(2) 2-Ways assuming we keep Dickinson:
Koloko/ Pierre/ (1 of Houstan/ Bufkin)

Peavy/ Poole/ Hawk trade candidates and I will be astounded if we don't end up with a Center.
