New Orleans – After seven seasons with the Memphis Grizzles, Tony Allen signs with the Pelicans.
The former Grit’n Grinder signed a one-year, $2.3 million contract Monday.

New Orleans welcomes him with open arms and “all heart”.
The Pelicans open their regular season Oct. 18 at the FedEx Forum in Memphis.
