I'm curious to see where he ends up. Casspi is a good shooter and should be back by the playoffs. He's also a great teammate.

I would LOVE him on the Cs - if they signed him, would they get his Bird Rights, or no?

He doesn't really fit a position of need, but he is a pretty decent rebounder for his position, as well as an excellent shooter....

But, this comes back to HOW do we make room for him and perhaps Bogut and/or Jones?

But in his first game with the Pelicans, Casspi broke his thumb . It’s expected to keep him out four to six weeks, which is effectively all of the remaining season. Now, to top it all off, The Vertical reports that the Pelicans will waive Casspi and sign veteran guard Reggie Williams.
