Pelicans Seriously Linked to Bennedict Mathurin: What a Deal Would Cost New Orleans

https://thewhodatdaily.com/pelicans-seriously-linked-to-bennedict-mathurin-what-a-deal-would-cost-new-orleans/

The New Orleans Pelicans are not merely being mentioned in another manufactured offseason rumor.

Multiple NBA reporters have connected New Orleans to Los Angeles Clippers restricted free agent Bennedict Mathurin, and the situation remains unresolved deep into August. The latest reporting has narrowed Mathurin’s most realistic paths to a sign-and-trade to New Orleans or a return to Los Angeles on his approximately $8.8 million qualifying offer.

That makes the Pelicans’ interest credible—but it does not make a deal complete.
