Should the New Orleans Pelicans pursue Daniel Gafford?

The New Orleans Pelicans have declined Herbert Jones’ 1.8 million dollar team option. The goal of doing that was to negotiate a new deal with the defensive ace to keep him around long-term.

If everything goes as expected, Jones and the Pelicans will agree to a 4-year deal somewhere in the ballpark of 50 million dollars. That will leave the Pelicans with very little room to make substantial free-agent signings.

Reminder – the Pelicans effectively have no space to sign anyone tonight the second Herb verbally agrees to his deal.
