The Western Conference is a constantly evolving beast, but one that the New Orleans Pelicans were able to somewhat conquer with a playoff berth in 2014-15.
New Orleans broke the bank with a five-year, $145 million extension on superstar Anthony Davis in the wee hours of free agency, but will AD taste the postseason for a second time next season?
We know he’s going to be dominant again, and probably make an even stronger MVP case next year than he did in the one prior. And that’s saying something. But the Pels’ other moves this summer include re-signing Alexis Ajinca, Omer Asik and Dante Cunningham.
