There were some alluring names in this year’s free agent class, make no doubt about that. It’s understandable that some fans wanted the New Orleans Pelicans to pursue star talent to team-up with the roster at hand. But they didn’t go down that route, and honestly, it was the right decision to make. Did you really think David Griffin was going to do otherwise?
The team is young, raw, roster spots needed to be filled up with established talent that have experience in this league. Guys that won’t disrupt the growth of the young core and guide them along the correct path to success.
