The New Orleans Pelicans have a spot left open on the 2017-18 roster and the addition of another versatile forward would make for the ideal fit. As you know, Dante Cunningham is still an NBA free agent so let’s make a deal!
Sign Cunningham to a 1-year veteran minimum
Believe it or not, the Pelicans still have enough space remaining on the cap sheet to sign Cunningham to a minimum deal; however, the offer can only be for one year due to the following wrinkle in the collective bargaining agreement. Per Larry Coon’s Salary Cap FAQ:
When a player has been in the NBA for three or more seasons, and is playing under a one-year, 10-day or Rest-of-Season contract at the minimum salary, the league reimburses the team for part of his salary -- any amount above the minimum salary for a two-year veteran.
