The New Orleans Pelicans let Frank Jackson walk at the end of last season and most fans didn’t care.
I was one of the few who seemed to think Jackson was a player and hoped the Pelicans would re-sign him to a modest deal in the offseason to be a backup combo guard off the bench.
I get why the Pels did it. At the time, they had a glut of guards and added Kira Lewis Jr. in the draft, so having another tweener combo guard did not seem like a priority.
