"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

That's not what Larry Coon says:
The following are not included in team salaries:
•The full season salary of any players the team trades away in midseason trades.When determining the amount of tax a team owes, the league uses its team salary (see question number 14) on the date of its last regular season game (i.e., if a player is traded away before the end of the season, then none of his salary is taxed)
Then the savings would be nearly four million. Either way, we saved them a ton of money

Based on Monty's comments in the paper this morning, I go back to my original thought that he may not play for the Pelicans.
Monty:
“It’s hard to say right now” what role Taylor will play, Williams said before the game. “The next couple of days I’ll have more to talk about as far as that trade is concerned, once I get more information. We’ll get more information, if there is a role to be played.”
Seems like he really had no clue that the trade was even going to happen.
I guess I'm one of few that interested in seeing what this guys got I think he can be good . Whithey had a lot of good things to say about him I'm excited to see him play .
Perhaps he didn't. Maybe this trade was just to prime the pump for a bigger deal closer to the deadline. The Pels biggest trade asset being Gordon but I don't think the Nets would be interested in him, but maybe in a 3-way where we get Paul P's expiring 15+ million. Just speculating
..But before Tuesday night's game against the Sacramento Kings, Pelicans coach Monty Williams appeared unsure about what Taylor's role would be with the team. With an expiring contract, the Pelicans could have other plans for Taylor that could include buying out the remaining portion of his contract that's roughly about $400,000. New Orleans Times-Picayune
We hardly knew you Tyshawn - waived
Thank you Tyshawn, not once did you turn the ball over during your tenure.
I thought this kid might be good when he was coming out of college. His Kansas teams always did well and he was the floor general. Never saw him play after college.
