Now Tania Ganguli and Broderick Turner report the Pelicans are looking at a counteroffer. The Pelicans are considering making a counter offer that would ask for two first-round picks and add a Pelicans player to the deal, according to people with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly on the matter. I know Ganguli and Turner, both are well-connected pros, but here's my concern: When two reporters based in Los Angeles who cover the Lakers come out with a report about what New Orleans is going to do, I'm skeptical.
