The New Orleans Pelicans bolstered their depth at the center position on Monday.
The Pelicans made a major move in the backcourt, striking a deal with the Hawks for former All-Star Dejounte Murray. New Orleans might also move on from Brandon Ingram, who's on an expiring $36 million contract and seeking a lucrative extension.
As it reconfigures its roster, aiming to move up the Western Conference hierarchy after finishing the 2023-24 campaign with a 49-33 regular season record before getting swept by the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs, the Pelicans are welcoming Daniel Theis to the Big Easy.After reaching a buyout agreement with the Pacers last season, Boston had interest in a reunion with the seven-year veteran.
Theis averaged 6.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and nearly 1.0 blocks per game in 59 regular season appearances with Los Angeles, including three starts. Before taking his talents to New Orleans, Theis will represent Germany as a part of the men's basketball team competing in the Summer Olympics.Bobby Krivitsky's experiences include covering the NBA as a credentialed reporter for Basketball Insiders.
