The Bird Calls Podcast, Ep. 146: Predicting the New Orleans Pelicans regular season roster

The New Orleans Pelicans signed Los Angeles Clippers’ restricted free agent Tyrone Wallace to a two-year minimum deal on Labor Day. So much for the holiday, right!?

Tyrone Wallace is an RFA of the Clippers, who issued a Two-Way qualifying offer. He chose to sign the Pelicans’ 2-year, $2.9M minimum-salary offer sheet instead. The first-year of the contract becomes $300K guaranteed on 9/12 (per @ShamsCharania). The Clippers can match.

The Los Angeles Clippers will have 48 hours to match but are unlikely to do so, as they have already met their threshold of 15 guaranteed contracts and contemplate the five million dollar option on point guard Patrick Beverley.
