2015 NBA Free Agency: Higher salary cap and alternate paths for the New Orleans Pelicans

After Alexis Ajinca agreed to sign with the New Orleans Pelicans I noted that, if the salary cap did come in higher than originally anticipated, Dell Demps could have some reasonable flexibility by renouncing everyone else. Now that the final figures have been tabulated the cap is set at $70 million, providing even more wiggle room than expected. New Orleans is already locked into their path, which is better than what the Dallas Mavericks can say (Mavs fans, and truly no fans in basketball, deserve what just happened). However, what other options could the Pelicans have pursued?
