Rumor Central: Will Dante Cunningham sign with Pelicans or Wolves?

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the New Orleans Pelicans want to re-sign free-agent forward Dante Cunningham, however they are facing some competition for the eight-year NBA veteran from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Both teams have the ability to offer only a minimum salary for the 2017-18 season, which doesn't give either club a major advantage. The Pelicans do own his full "Bird" free-agent rights as Cunningham has played in New Orleans the past three years, however, they are currently limited to just a minimum salary as they are only about that much under the hard cap this season, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.
