The New Orleans Pelicans are trying to win the value game when it comes to the salary cap.

Once a signing is announced, or rather leaked by Woj or Shams, a teams’ fanbase begins to debate whether the player is a good deal or not. Usually how this works is if you like a player you’re inclined to support the deal no matter the dollar amount or the opposite.

The New Orleans Pelicans had a prime example of this just weeks ago with the Lonzo Ball sign-and-trade saga.
