Golden State Warriors fans won't stop laughing at the Pelicans for slowly building the worst possible knockoff version of their dynasty. New Orleans added former Warriors Jordan Poole and Kevon Looney this offseason, but it doesn’t stop there. The Pelicans drafted a dynamic point guard, locked up a stout defensive wing, and retained a star unlike any other in the NBA. If that doesn’t sound like the championship Warriors roster, nothing will.
Looney took a shot at the Dubs after his departure, and Poole hasn’t played in the Bay Area since 2023. Both had pivotal roles in the 2022 title and know how the Warriors operate.
