The Pelicans may have been saved some heartache on layaway thanks to Ramona Shelburne’s tweet exclaiming that Paul Millsap will be seeking a $140m contract this offseason — a contract that would run (or perhaps awkwardly limp at a mediocre pace based off my late 30s’ athleticism) into his late 30s. Millsap is a very good player that would have been a great signing two years ago, but I don’t think he’s worth that money to New Orleans right now.
