It has been more than 11 weeks since the New Orleans Pelicans extended restricted free agent point guard Norris Cole a $3 million qualifying offer.
He remains unsigned, but the Pelicans have not given up in their push to bring him back.But a source close to Cole said talks pretty much remain at a standstill with training camp only two weeks away from starting at The Greenbrier in West Virginia on Sept. 29.
It’s all but apparent that Cole believes his value on the open market is worth more than the Pelicans’ $3 million qualifying offer. But at this point, a majority of teams have already used up most of their cap space.
