Summary
Jonas Valančiūnas, the veteran center recently cut by the Denver Nuggets, could be headed back to New Orleans — or to a contender like the Knicks or Lakers. After a solid stint with the Pelicans where he anchored their rebounding and dominated the paint, his departure left a glaring defensive void. Now, with Denver freeing up cap space and Valančiūnas still owed millions, the Pelicans face a tough choice: bring back their former cornerstone or pivot toward younger, faster bigs — especially as they’ve already signed DeAndre Jordan. The future looks uncertain, but one thing’s clear: Valančiūnas’ return might not fit the Pelicans’ new direction — even if it feels like home.
