You all know I am a big fan of Seth Curry and thought he would have made for a great backup point guard. On an offense-focused team, his defensive shortcomings would be masked by a run-and-gun system.
I would have liked to have seen the Pelicans pass on either Omer Asik or Alexis Ajinca to pursue Brandan Wright or a similar center who would thrive and excel in the open court.
Lastly, I would have loved for the Pelicans test the market for a veteran small forward possessing experience in a fast-paced system, such as Shawn Marion, to serve as a mentor if nothing else.
