Pelicans unsure of signing Jackson next season

[Pugz]

Dell Demps said Monday that there are no guarantees that the New Orleans Pelicans will sign Pierre Jackson to a contract for next season.

The Pelicans have watched Jackson in the NBA D-League and overseas and like the 5-foot-10 point guard.

Jackson was acquired by the Pelicans after going in the second round of the NBA Draft last year but never signed a rookie deal with the organization. 

Jackson averaged 29.1 points and 6.2 assists while shooting 44.9 percent from the field in 31 D-League games.

What Dell said was they've been monitoring him in Europe right now and that he's playing well. They'll talk to him and his camp at the end of the season, and they expect him to come over next season. Said that was always the plan, to have him "redshirt" a season then bring him in as their rookie the next season. Where realgm twisted the words were when Dell said there's no guarantees he'll be a part of our roster next season, as we are already guard heavy. Said it's a good luxury to have.

There isn't enough space in town for two Pierre's

Saints had Pierre Thomas and he seems to be on the go, so I thin we could fit another.

He will not stand for another, his spirit is somewhere in the arena, forever

Technically speaking, it's the same bird, just had reconstructive surgery.

That wannabe Kansas Jayhawk is not Pierre, smh. Fuck him.
 
I think it's hilarious that they kept the Mohawk though. SO VITAL.
