The New Orleans Pelicans are fast approaching the Houston Rockets and their opening night mixer with their southwest rival. Before the Pelicans can prepare for the games that matter though, they’ll need to shave down their roster to the maximum 15-man designation and the two spots reserved for Two-Way players.
General Manager Dell Demps could conceivably carry fewer than the 15-man limitation, which would allow the Pelicans to add from the floating debris following league-wide roster cuts (hello, Tyrone Wallace?), or keep the slots open in the event of an unbalanced trade.
