Ajincia is close to signing a two-year contract with the Pelicans, CBS Sports reports.

Analysis:

Ajinca must first finalize a buyout with his Euroleague team, Strasbourg, but he is set to join the Pelicans once that process has been completed. Ajinca shot over 50 percent from the field and 75 percent from the line for Strasbourg in 2014, and will be joining a Pelicans team that is thin up front, so he will be a player to keep an eye on.
