DeMar DeRozan discusses Pelicans before signing with the Nuggets

DeMar DeRozan spoke with the New Orleans Pelicans prior to signing with the Denver Nuggets. The 37-year-old forward had conversations with several teams, including the Miami Heat and Washington Wizards, but ultimately chose the Nuggets. DeRozan averaged 18.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 4.1 assists last season with the Sacramento Kings. The Nuggets signed him for $3.9 million, a price point that fits the Pelicans' offseason strategy as they seek additional scoring options. However, DeRozan's role may not have aligned with the Pelicans' current roster needs, leading them to sign Trendon Watford instead.
