Since Cole is a restricted free-agent, the Pelicans have the right to match any offer sheet from another team. Cole's 2015-16 qualifying offer was worth just over $3 million.
Cole, 26, was traded from the Miami Heat to the Pelicans before last season's deadline. For his career, Cole has averaged just 6.6 points and 2.6 assists per game, shooting just over 32-percent from three-point range and 41-percent from the field.
Fun fact: Cole is the cousin of former Philadelphia Eagles, now Indianapolis Colts, defensive lineman Trent Cole.
