We are one week into the 2017 NBA Free Agency, and it already looks vastly different from last year.  After a major surplus of space we have seen shorter term contracts, and substantially lower average salaries.   In addition, the Pelicans made news with their max contract given to Jrue Holiday who joined only Steph Curry and Blake Griffin as five year contract winners this offseason.  The three will make $500 million over the next five years. Next, Christian talks about where the Pels sit in the Western Conference, as well as shares his expert analysis on the Los Angeles Lakers, the Paul George Sweepstakes, and the Las Vegas Summer League.   See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
