The 2016 season may have ended over three weeks ago for the New Orleans Pelicans, but the franchise remains in no hurry to move forward as Dell Demps future remains undecided. That's less than ideal with the draft and free agency period fast approaching, especially for a team that finished with a suboptimal record of 30-52 and fifteen fewer wins than from the previous year.
Seven teams have moved on from previous head coaches, four have announced replacements and three franchises have new general managers installed in place. Meanwhile, the Pelicans gave notice on April 22nd that Dell Demps would hold a press conference on the 25th, cancelled it a few days later and have been quiet as a church mouse ever since.
