They want the cap space to re-sign cousins

They have Cousins bird rights, this deal could be for a max player and they'd still be able to sign him if they were willing to go into the tax. All they need to do is send one more of their injured/trash players with Asik and they'd be under the hard cap and just fine. Benson is just that cheap so he won't sign off on picking up a $12 mil option for a good player next season on our injury ravaged roster. Like Boogie will magically be 100% to start training camp and we're gonna need that $12 million so someone like Lebron can come on a discount, our FO is delusional if this is true :mjlol::snoop:

So far, the Pelicans have resisted committing to that $12.5 million on next season's payroll, league sources said.

Yup..NO basically wants him as a rental and Niko wants his cash

Man I wish there was some way to keep mirotic with the pelicans. They'd have some of the most skilled big men roster in the league (already did really)....they'd be a fukking problem but there's just not enough bread to keep everyone satisfied
