New Orleans Pelicans offseason roster locked and loaded for battles in training camp but front office maintaining big picture

The New Orleans Pelicans are in the process of adding Darius Morris, a 27-year-old journeyman guard, on a partially guaranteed two-year contract.

While Morris, who has spent time with five different NBA organizations, two G League teams and last year with Guangdong Southern in China, could conceivable win one of the available spots in the 2018-19 regular season rotation or the second of the Pelicans two-way contracts, it’s more important to note that the Pelicans have reached their 20-man offseason roster limit with today’s announced signing — at least for the time being — and that they’re likely expecting to start the regular season with some combination of their existing contracts after having doled out so many small guarantees.
