The New Orleans Pelicans are just about out of salary cap space. As of this writing they are sitting on roughly $3.4 million in room and a good deal of that is necessary to sign their own players. They can increase that amount to $5.8 million if they rescind the qualifying offer to Tim Frazier and waive both Toney Douglas and Luke Babbitt. It is doubtful the Pelicans attempt that track.
As I have stated repeatedly the Pelicans will want to sign second round pick Cheick Diallo with cap space and not an exception.
