The New Orleans Pelicans have had a busy start to the new season without creating much of a new look. The team replaced Monty Williams and at least some of his staff with Alvin Gentry and new assistants, but thee have not placed any players under contract yet who were not under contract last season with the team.
The Pelicans and Anthony Davis have agreed on a 5-year contract extension that starts in 2016-2017. While not directly affecting this season’s roster, it was a hugely important move. Davis will be playing on the final term of his rookie deal this season.
