The Pelicans are likely to wrap up their offseason quietly, filling their final roster spot with a backup rather than making bold moves. With Jordan Poole’s massive $34M contract looming until 2027, trading him would require sacrificing valuable draft picks or taking on worse deals — a risky move for a team not positioned to land a true star. A buyout may be the smarter play: Poole, frustrated by limited minutes last season, could accept it for a fresh start and better future earnings, while the Pelicans save millions and open a roster spot for a younger, more impactful player — boosting depth in shooting or frontcourt physicality without burning future assets.
