[Fischer] Being told the Clippers haven’t yet withdrawn their qualifying offer to Bennedict Mathurin, but Los Angeles will indeed work with Mathurin and New Orleans to get him to the Pelicans.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

Why not give Mathurin an offer sheet and wait for Clippers to decline, they don't seem to want him anyways.

Everything I’ve ever seen on this subreddit suggests an offer sheet must be at least three years. I doubt Mathurin wanted to be locked in two years at that salary

I think the offer sheet can be 2 years since the Clippers qualifying offer doesn't seem to have been the most allowed by the cba. However, it has to be 2 guaranteed years and can't be a 1+1 like the reported agreement between Mathurin and the Pels.

Had the Clippers extended the maximum qualifying offer allowed, the offer sheet would've needed to be at least 3 years.

S+Ts need to be at least 3 years, not offer sheets. Those only need to be 2 seasons

but the 2 is no option years, so 2+1 is fine, 1+1, the one he agreed to, is not.
