According to multiple reports, Jahlil Okafor — who finished last season with the Brooklyn Nets — had agreed to a two-year, partially guaranteed contract with the New Orleans Pelicans.
Adrian Wojnarowski reported Wednesday that Okafor has agreed to a deal that includes a partial guarantee for 2018-19 and a team option for 2019-20.
Jeff Siegel of Early Bird Rights has the value of the contract at $1.6 million for next season, to become fully guaranteed on Jan. 10, and includes a $1.7 million team option for 2019-20.
The Pelicans were still looking for inside depth after losing center DeMarcus Cousins to the Golden State Warriors in free agency.
