Late last night the New Orleans Pelicans officially signed Omer Asik, Alexis Ajinca, and Dante Cunningham to new contracts. No shenanigans were involved, although an excellent dinner at Cava was certainly enjoyed. Asik will be signed with his bird rights, inherited when the Pelicans traded for him from the Houston Rockets. Ajinca, thanks to being a Pelican for two years, will be signed with his early bird rights. Cunningham will dip into the Mid-Level Exception (MLE) for his three year, $9 million contract.
