An underwhelming free agency crop and personnel fit issues are just several noted offseason failures that should dent New Orleans Pelicans hopes of making the 2018 postseason — at least according to many within the national media.

Nate Duncan and Danny Leroux were even more negative on the topic in a recent podcast as both handed out D grades.
