The New Orleans Pelicans watched another free agent slip away when Kelly Oubre Jr. signed with the Charlotte Hornets.
The Pels have had to sit back and watch free agent after free agent sign with other teams, some of them turning down bigger offers from New Orleans to do so. I thought Oubre would be a nice fit, and since he’s from New Orleans there might have been mutual interest, but he chose the Hornets.
