The New Orleans Pelicans held an introductory press conference for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and Derrick Favors. The media scrum provided all the evidence needed to show the franchise has moved on from Anthony Davis. Half a playoff roster sat on the stage with David Griffin, who ended by asking:
”You can’t dream big enough in this league. Why not us?”
Why not, indeed.
The trio of former Lakers and Favors represent four of the top eight players being depended on for a successful season. Along with the three incoming rookies and Jrue Holiday, this is the most anticipated season in Pelicans history according to season tickets sales.
