The New Orleans Pelicans have had a strange offseason that has been difficult to evaluate.
That’s why we see fierce debate about whether the Pelicans have improved this offseason and I think you can make a case for either, though I think they will be better.
But they are definitely not a title contender and could use another player or two if they want to have the quality depth they’ll need to get to the playoffs in the super-competitive Western Conference.
The Pelicans still have a big trade exception, a ton of draft assets and some good young players on team-friendly contacts, so they are in the perfect position to make a deal.
