4 of the top 9 Pelicans in total minutes played in 2023-24 will be elsewhere next season.
Jonas Valanciunas
Dyson Daniels
Naji Marshall
Larry Nance Jr.
We’re barely into free agency and New Orleans is already set to look and feel vastly different. – 10:14 PM

Jonas Valanciunas = $30 million.
Naji Marshall = $27 million.
Obi Toppin = $60 million.
I need some convincing on this one. – 10:11 PM

Jonas Valanciunas is headed to the Eastern Conference. David Griffin talked about adding a rim-protecting center at the draft last year. Can he pull it off this summer? nola.com/sports/pelican… – 9:33 PM

This officially means the Pelicans will try their fourth different starting center next to Zion. Derrick Favors > Steven Adams > Jonas Valanciunas > ? – 8:59 PM

LeBron James is willing to take a $20 million pay cut in order for the Lakers to secure the full mid-level exception, per @wojespn:
– There’s a sense LeBron will take it year-to-year now on new contracts instead of a multi-year deal.
– Klay Thompson and Jonas Valanciunas appear pic.twitter.com/y2f2BULiHP – 10:46 AM

More on this storyline
Jake Fischer: In addition to the Lakers’ expected interest in Jonas Valanciunas, the veteran center is believed to have another suitor in the Washington Wizards, league sources told @YahooSports : -via x.com / June 30, 2024
Amid the expected Hartenstein courtship, rival teams have expressed trade interest in Magic center Wendell Carter Jr., including the New Orleans Pelicans, league sources told HoopsHype. The Pelicans are searching to add a center, with Jonas Valanciunas expected to depart in free agency, as previously reported on HoopsHype. -via HoopsHype / June 30, 2024
Adrian Wojnarowski: There’s a sense probably LeBron James starts to really take this year to year, but what he’s telling the Lakers is if they can find an impact player at the mid-level exception about $13 million whether that’s a Klay Thompson, a James Harden, a Jonas Valanciunas, maybe a couple others because this is not a star-laden free agency class, he will take less on his contract to allow the Lakers to add that exception into their payroll. -via YouTube / June 30, 2024
