Pelicans Could Pursue an Offer Sheet for Bennedict Mathurin
The New Orleans Pelicans' interest in restricted free-agent guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin could produce an offer sheet, per Evan Sidery. To get there, they would need to clear enough room by moving Jordan Hawkins' expiring $7 million contract. That path could let New Orleans offer Mathurin more than $15 million annually, giving the Clippers a two-day window to match. Mathurin, 24, averaged 17.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 26 games for Los Angeles, but his three-point shooting cratered to 20.7 percent. A move to New Orleans could give him more scoring chances and raise his fantasy ceiling. Still, his shaky efficiency and limited defensive stats keep him from being a clean category-league target.
