New Orleans Pelicans
No team in the NBA needs one of the starting NBA centers more than the New Orleans Pelicans. Despite the incredible talent of power forward Anthony Davis, the team has struggled to improve from one year to the next.
Complicating the matter is the fact that the Houston Rockets signed on two free agents from the Pelicans: Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon, and both are doing very well to help the Rockets and new head coach Mike D’Antoni.
That type of news does not bode well for either coaches or front office of the Pelicans.
The Pelicans are 20th in the NBA offensively, and 23rd defensively. While the team has young talent, most of it has pile up in the team’s back court.
If the team has any questions about Buddy Hield and wishes to find Davis a partner for the front court today, this is the team’s window to do so.
