Is Pelicans competing against the Cavs for the most washed up team?

So the exception gives the Pelicans 16 roster spots? I'm confused with how that all works.

Yes temporarily.  Have to have 4 players each miss at least 3 consecutive games and get league approval.  When any of the four inactive players who have triggered the exception returns, the team has to release a player to get back down to 15.

It could be a good pick up if Smith can still defend.

Smith is a chucker. I imagine he is out of shape after not playing In a while.

This is desperation. Gentry will be the second coach fired.

It is desperation — because they have so many injured players, they were allowed to sign a 16th man.  They have to release Smith (who’s contract isn’t guaranteed) as soon as someone gets healthy.

They literally needed a body who wouldn’t demand a guaranteed contract, which is all Smith is.

Yep and if by some miracle he can actually play, they will have to release or trade a player under a guaranteed contract.

The Pelicans are a complete mess with so many unmovable long and big contracts.  Then those players are hurt compounding matters.

Let's give Antoine another chance. He could use the money.
