Is Josh Hart a long term piece for the New Orleans Pelicans? (Photo by Sean Gardner/Getty Images)
When the New Orleans Pelicans and Josh Hart failed to come to an agreement on an extension, both sides knew it was a risk.
The risk for Hart is that he would have a poor season and lower his value while the risk for the Pels was just the opposite.
Nearing the midway point of the season, it’s still hard to know if the risk paid off for either of them.
Hart has been very good at times and is certainly one of the Pels’ best defenders and continues to be one of the best rebounding guards in the NBA.
