The New Orleans Pelicans have made some dramatic changes to their roster that they hope will propel them into the playoffs.
But the Western Conference is going to be highly competitive once again, so to get there the Pelicans are going to have to displace one or more of these teams, which isn’t going to be easy.
The Jazz, Suns, Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, Mavericks and Warriors are locks to be playoff contenders which leaves very little room for error for the rest of the West.
