Writer Chris Lambert argues that the Oklahoma City Thunder signing Micah Peavy to a two-way deal highlights major front-office mistakes by the New Orleans Pelicans. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Peavy agreed to a two-way contract with Oklahoma City after New Orleans chose to cut ties with the young wing during the offseason.

Lambert contends that New Orleans made a serious error in parting with Peavy, citing his strong defensive profile, active hands, and point-of-attack abilities. The writer asserts that Peavy's fit under head coach Jamahl Mosley would have been ideal, while praising the Thunder's developmental system for recognizing Peavy's value.
