With the signing of Gabriel and Thronwell, we have 14 of 15 roster spots filled. Any guesses on who gets the last spot? I don't have anything fun like Pelicans slippers to offer, sorry guys.

My money would be on Emmanuel Mudiay. He shouldn't have been drafted 7th, but is still a young player that was decent for the Jazz last year. 6'4 and solid on defense.

PG: Ball, Mudiay, Lewis
SG: Bledsoe, JJ, NAW
SF: Ingram, Hart, Thornwell
PF: Zion, Meli, Gabriel
C: Adams, Hernangomez, Hayes

A two way guy or no one.

Nobody, unless we make a trade later on and take back less salary than we send out.

We are 500k below the luxury tax, really could've used Adams waiving his trade kicker, but oh well

They said gaberial was a two way. And the other two way spot was given to Marshall. So both spots are taken.

Edit. My bad read two year as two way. My mistake!

It's a Vet Minimum deal, not a 2 way.

The Pelicans have signed forward Wenyen Gabriel and guard Sindarius Thornwell, source tells ESPN.

Both on vet minimum deals.

Gabriel on a two-year deal with a team option on second year. Thornwell sticks around after spending bubble with Pels.

Another 2 way. We won’t sign a 15th main roster guy.

Frank Jackson is eligible for a two-way, is he not. This would be his 4th season right?

He’s eligible but no way he takes that deal. Frank is good enough for someone to give him a shot.

Only way it changes is if we make a trade that opens enough salary for another spot.

Will we give DiDi a look this year?

Last I saw, he re-upped with his Aussie team at the start of October.

I asked that question in another thread, but the signings of Thornwell and Gabriel make it extremely unlikely.

Didi sticks around in Australia for another year but I’d expect him next year.

Could we sign Marshall to a Rookie Contract and then sign two two-way players instead and still be under the tax line.

No, we cannot sign anyone else to anything other than a 2 way without going into the tax

Unless we make another trade that opens up more space. I wouldn't completely rule it out.

Are we able to bring in extra people just for training camp? Since there's no summer league.
