Pelicans, Cavaliers and Warriors stash camp bodies for the G League

New Orleans signed and waived Johnny O'Neil again, per Keith Smith of Spotrac, a repeat of last September's move to retain his G League rights and set up a bonus worth up to $91K.

Cleveland gave guard Sean McNeil a non-guaranteed camp deal, according to Paul Garcia, with the West Virginia product likely ticketed back to the Cleveland Charge after a shooting-heavy season there.

Golden State officially signed guards Chance McMillian and Deivon Smith to Exhibit 10 deals, also per Garcia, keeping both tied to the Santa Cruz Warriors if they stick around 60 days.
