Free agent forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl has agreed to a two-way NBA contract with the New Orleans Pelicans, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. The former OKC second-rounder had standard deal offers elsewhere but chose Pelicans two-way for a better potential opportunity.
Pels don’t have a 2 way contract available. Does this mean Gates is gone or Ryan is getting a regular contract after tonight?
UPDATE: It’s Gates.

Pelicans are waiving forward Kaiser Gates to make way for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl on a two-way contract, source tells ESPN. Robinson-Earl averaged 7.2 points and 4.9 rebounds in 92 career games (56 starts) last year for OKC

Turning down real offers for a 2 way is interesting. That can't be to just sit on the end of the bench.

Gates has been unplayable. Definitely gotta be him because Seabron and Ryan played tonight.

Confirmed on Twitter Gates is the odd man out.

We took a flier on Gates because of his shooting potential, then Ryan became available.
JRE is kind of a Lidell duplicate. We'll see if he actually jumps him.

It probably also has a lot to do with EJ Liddell too. He must not be what we’d hoped he be in practice

I like this. He was decent for the thunder. Can shoot a little, rebound a little.
EJ must really be bad if they’re signing this guy and. Ej has still yet to see the court despite all our injuries

From OKC fan site...
What went wrong for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl with the OKC Thunder?
The Oklahoma City Thunder selected Jeremiah Robinson-Earl in the second round of the 2021 NBA Draft. The organization even traded up to grab the Villanova big man who had a mixed bag of reviews coming out of college. However, the consensus on Robinson-Earl was that he would turn into a “pros-pro” having a long NBA career by just being fundamentally sound and playing a role, if nothing else.
In his rookie year, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl lived up to that assessment. While there was no supreme pop, the OKC Thunder saw a clear pathway for Robinson-Earl to be a rotational big man.
Averaging seven points, five rebounds, an assist, and shooting 35 percent from three, Robinson-Earl’s career was off to a promising start. Despite being an undersized five, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl played scrappy defense and had the ability to switch, fitting in with the team style of defense Mark Daigneault runs.
However, in the 2022 NBA Draft, the OKC Thunder selected Jaylin Williams out of Arkansas. A player remarkably similar to Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and, who outplayed the Villanova Wildcat by a wide margin a year ago. Williams’ selection made Robinson-Earl a redundant player on this Thunder roster.
Along with his role being replaced, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl was never the same player on either side of the floor after his early season ankle injury in Dallas during his Sophomore year. Since then, there has not even been flashes of his old self.
Now, he heads to Houston, where the Rockets are also a player over the limit, still having a cut to make before the end of the week. The 22-year-old will still get an opportunity in the NBA, rightfully so, but he has to capitalize.
The most significant change for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will be his ability to hone in on his shooting ability; in the Modern NBA, he has to be able to space the floor better and cash in on open looks. One of the primary keys for Robinson-Earl will be to regain the athleticism that made him such a switchable defender in year one.
By all accounts, Robinson-Earl was a fantastic teammate and brought some leadership skills to the OKC Thunder, and hopefully, the Villanova product can get back on track with a change of scenery.
I love Villanova players. They almost always are well coached with a high basketball IQ. JRE seems like the kind of mobil, switchable, big Willy loves, so maybe he'll get some run. I'd bet his means EJ will spend some time in Birmingham. Not unusual for an ACL injury to take into second year to fully recover...

I love this signing; this is another guy with versatility that can help at the 4 or the 5. Coming to a team where he will have very lil pressure, might be just what he needs to get his career back on track.
