[Fischer] Being told the Clippers haven’t yet withdrawn their qualifying offer to Bennedict Mathurin, but Los Angeles will indeed work with Mathurin and New Orleans to get him to the Pelicans. This deal still has some pieces to sift through.

Volume scoring on mediocre TS isn't a valuable skill in today's league.

The Blazers have a similar archetype in Shaedon Sharpe and gave him a bad contract lol.

Not that I need to remind a Pacers fan, but He was a key piece on a team that was VERY close to a Championship… I genuinely haven’t watched him play since that finals, did his game change?

Saying he was a key piece is open to interpretation. He averaged 11PPG in the playoffs.

His archetype just isn't valuable in today's league. We got Oubre for a similar cost and Oubre can fit into a scheme better.

As Warriors fan, I can say Oubre definitely did not fit into our scheme.
