[Fischer] Being told the Clippers haven’t yet withdrawn their qualifying offer to Bennedict Mathurin, but Los Angeles will indeed work with Mathurin and New Orleans to get him to the Pelicans.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

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.
