Willy Hernangomez back to Spain?
Eurobasket 2022 MVP Willy Hernangomez is considered the top potential replacement for Walter Tavares should he leave Real Madrid and return to the NBA, as reported by Ariel Ginsber of Israel Hayom. Hernangomez is a free agent since New Orleans refused to activate his team option for the 2023-24 season.

Can confirm the Pelicans are not extending a qualifying offer to Jaxson Hayes and they are declining the team option on Willy Hernangomez.

The Pelicans have not picked up the team option on Willy Hernangomez ($2.6m) and did not extend the qualifying offer to Jaxson Hayes, sources tell ESPN.
It’s still possible Hayes and the Pelicans come to an agreement later but they did not extend the $7.7m qualifying offer. – 5:07 PM

Pels have until 4 p.m. today to decide on team options for Willy Hernangomez ($2.6 M), Naji Marshall ($1.9 M) and Herb Jones ($1.8 M)
Pels can pick up Herb’s option, which makes him a RFA next year; decline the option and give him a new deal; or pick up the option and extend. – 10:36 AM
