As he spoke to New Orleans radio broadcaster Sean Kelley on draft night, new Pelicans Special Advisor Danny Ferry adeptly summed up an entire league’s trepidation about 2016 free agency, which begins Friday at 12:01 a.m. Eastern (actually Thursday at 11:01 p.m. here in the Central time zone).
“The whole NBA (free agency) scares me right now,” Ferry said. “Not just here, but everywhere. (Because of) the cap space, the bump up, and the free agents available. It will be a challenging situation for every team, to try to figure out what the right contracts are and who the right players are, and to actually get them.
