Big Q covers the New Orleans Pelicans inking veteran center Cody Zeller to a 1 year 3 million dollar deal. Zeller just completed his 10th season, so he’ll be receiving the veteran’s minimum for a player with his experience. As our minimum-salary projections for 2023/24 show, he’ll actually be making just under $3.2MM.
The Pelicans chose not to bring back Willy Hernangomez or Jaxson Hayes, so Zeller will help fortify the team’s frontcourt depth. Hernangomez might be headed back to Europe, where he started his pro career, while Hayes is signing a two-year deal with the Lakers.
Zeller, 30, was the fourth overall pick of the 2013 draft after two college seasons at Indiana. He spent his first eight NBA seasons with Charlotte, averaging a combined 8.7 PPG and 6.0 RPG over 467 contests (22.7 MPG).

Good depth move.
Folks have been negative about this move, but I like it. We needed depth at the position, he dropped 20pts, 8 rebs on the Mavs as a backup in Miami. If Liam Robbins pans out, we'll have our center position set.
