The New Orleans Pelicans don’t have a long history in the NBA, so they don’t have any deep-rooted rivalries based on tradition.
Without having had many playoff clashes, Pels fans have had little chance to build up the kind of intensity that you need to sustain a rivalry.
The constant movement in the NBA also makes this a reality, as fans have more attachment to their teams than the players, who all seem to change teams these days.
