When Darius Miller went down with a torn Achilles three months before the season was even going to tip-off, the front office knew it had more work to do before their campaign gets underway. Now, Fortunately for David Griffin and the New Orleans Pelicans’ front office, they’ll have the monetary capability to find someone to fill his shoes.
Due to the NBA’s injured player exception, the team will have an additional $3.625 million in cap space to add another player in place of Miller.
This team is very young and new to playing together, so no matter what, expectations must be tempered.
