    New Orleans Pelicans plan to waive forward Terrence Jones

    The New Orleans Pelicans have officially waived forward Terrence Jones, four days after trading for DeMarcus Cousins to pair with Anthony Davis in its revamped frontcourt.

    With Cousins in tow, the Pelicans worked with Jones' representatives to find a more favorable situation, but no trade materialized ahead of Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline.

    Now that he has cleared waivers, Jones, 25, will get to seek opportunities elsewhere.

    "We released him because, obviously if you look at the big [man] situation now, there was not going to be a whole lot of minutes, I think, for him," Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said. "He wants to play. Obviously he's a guy in a contract year. We just felt it's best to let him go."

    Jones, a teammate of Davis' at Kentucky, signed a one-year deal with New Orleans this offseason for the veteran's minimum after four seasons with the Houston Rockets. He is averaging 11.5 points and 5.9 rebounds in 51 games, including 12 starts.

    Forward Terrence Jones agrees to deal with Milwaukee Bucks

    Terrence Jones has agreed to a deal to join the Milwaukee Bucks for the rest of the season, sources told ESPN's Marc Stein and Justin Verrier.

    Jones was waived by the New Orleans Pelicans last week in order to find a more favorable situation following the blockbuster trade for DeMarcus Cousins.

    The 25-year-old Jones will make the prorated veteran's minimum with Milwaukee, according to a league source.

    He averaged 11.5 points and 5.9 rebounds in 51 games, including 12 starts.
