Michael Scotto: The New Orleans Pelicans and Caleb Houstan have agreed to a one-year deal, league sources told @hoopshype. He’ll compete for the final Pelicans roster spot after shooting 52.4% from 3-point range with the Hawks last season. He reunites with former Magic coach Jamahl Mosley.

New Orleans Pelicans head coach Jamahl Mosley recently expressed confidence in the roster. (via New Orleans Pelicans): “I think there’s 30 teams right now that are saying that they can compete at a high level. I think one thing that we want to make sure we do here is we just let our actions do the talking, and I think that’s what we’re gonna have to do. We’re gonna work every single night. We’re gonna play extremely hard every single night. We’re gonna play together, play for each other. So whatever happens — whether we do something or we don’t — I think this roster when it comes together the right way is an unbelievable roster that can do some things.”

Rod Walker: Jamahl Mosley says a big reason Fears and Queen are not playing Summer League is they played 82 and 81 games, respectively, this season. They have been around working out with the team though.

Pelicans Film Room: "It's in the small things you do every day, that's greatness, that's a winning culture. It's when you find a way to do the small things better than anyone else... When you dominate the simple, that changes how you do everything" -- Jamahl Mosley's goals for this season

Mosley is bringing over four assistants he worked with in Orlando. Bret Brielmaier will be his offensive coordinator, Dale Osbourne his defensive coordinator. Randy Gregory will serve as head of player development, while God Shammgod will play a hybrid role as a player development coach and a voice Mosley trusts on in-game adjustments.

"I think just opening the floor up a lot more for him to attack the basket, giving space, being able to live at the free throw line consistently," Mosley said of how he wants to capitalize on Williamson's skill set. "Some of the things he's done here have been obviously spectacular -- and so just making sure that we continue that along with us being healthy."

Pelicans Film Room: "When they lost only then did I reach out to him, the next day... I texted him "Should we have a conversation?" and he said "Yeah, give me a day or two though. I am just trying to breath right now" That was the first time I reached out to him" -- Joe Dumars on Jamahl Mosley

Will Guillory: "Accountability" and "physicality" are two words that Mosley has mentioned multiple times during his opening presser. Feels like that's what he wants to really emphasize coming into this situation.

Jason Beede: Former #Magic coach Jamahl Mosley shouted out God Shammgod, Bret Brielmaier, Dale Osbourne, and Randy Gregory as members of his coaching staff in attendance for his introductory press conference with the Pelicans in New Orleans.

Ohm Youngmisuk: Jamahl Mosley says Zion Williamson hasn't even "scratched the surface of what he can do." He wants to open the floor for Zion and says health is also a major key to unlocking Zion further.

What was your message to him when he was fired by the Magic? JB Bickerstaff: We talk about everything all the time. I told him that his next job was going to be his best job. When you get a job as a first-time coach, you’re kind of at the organization’s whim because they have to choose you. When you go into your next job after having the success that he had, you get an opportunity to choose. You get an opportunity to ask questions that first-time head coaches don’t get to ask. It’s important that you know the people that you’re working with.
