Pelicans Trade Taj Gibson for Cap Space | New Orleans Pelicans News

Pelicans shock fans by cutting Taj Gibson just one day after acquiring him in a trade — a savvy move freeing up $3.8M in cap space. The swap sent Jordan Hawkins and Micah Peavy to Memphis for AJ Johnson and future draft assets. Gibson, a 17-year vet averaging 8.3 ppg and 5.7 rpg, brings experience but wasn’t a long-term fit. This kind of roster shuffle? Classic NBA business — all about smart cap management and future flexibility. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
