Big Q covers the Bleacher Report article discussing the upcoming money issues and decisions facing the team in the near future.
The new CBA imposes, some teams could be forced to make some drastic roster decisions to abide by the new rules. And unfortunately, one such team could be our New Orleans Pelicans.
The team should be able to stay under the luxury tax line heading into the 2023-24 season. However, Jonas Valanciunas wants a new deal after the season, and Herbert Jones will also be a restricted free agent during that time, so who knows how much those deals could end up being.
The year after that, All-Star forward Brandon Ingram will be an unrestricted free agent, and the constantly-improving Trey Murphy III will be in line for new contracts. Surely the Pelicans are going to want to retain both of their services. How much will that cost them?
