They are saving about 17-18M of capspace for next year's FA...

Its smart and practical... also makes your potential building blocks a bit pissed. I would discuss it with them rather than taking a hard stance like that. Opens yourself up to a team giving a toxic offers sheet too.

It's possible they have an "agreement" with Maxey about his next contract and he in on this scheme...

Wouldn't be unheard of. They're in a weird spot thanks to Harden and probably need the lay of the land post-CBA implementation to know how to go forward.
 
I've seen him mentioned in other threads, but haven't been able to keep up...

I gather Herb Jones is now RFA, but Pelicans have no bird rights, so highest they can go is MLE I suppose. What's the highest other teams can go? I would've thought it was similar to Reaves, so ca 4/100. My pelicans fan mate says it's lower, does anyone know?

Could be... he isn't a for sure max guy. I'd probably be trying to lock him in to a more team friendly deal and would see that as being more valuable. Something less than the max and for 5 years. Going the restricted route he might not quite be a max guy but some team will offer max with a player option and make the contract kinda stinky.

I get waiting though... Morey is all about winning right now and I'm sure that has intensified as the Harden thing has gone sideways.

4/53.3M

But they declined his option precisely in order to make him RFA so they won't lose him. They will match any offer... but I actually expect them to have a deal worked out already...
