The New Orleans Pelicans have won four of their last six games. As a Pelicans fan, rooting on a team that wins is fundamentally more enjoyable than one that loses. Those wins, especially the most recent ones, have come with significant costs. Costs that question the direction of the franchise and the ability of those at the top to lead it.
Dell Demps invested the Pelicans first (used) lottery pick since Austin Rivers on Buddy Hield and a substantial sum of cap space to acquire Solomon Hill in free agency.
