The Golden State Warriors have won the 2022 NBA championship, their fourth title in the past eight years. It would seem like a good time for a breather, but the NBA doesn't stop these days. The draft is Thursday, June 23, and free agency opens up at 6 p.m. on June 30. "From what I have been told, the Pelicans, at this point, are not willing to offer a full five-year guaranteed deal. And a lot of it is flowing down from ownership. Gayle Benson, the owner, is also the owner of the New Orleans Saints.
