The New Orleans Pelicans are drawing mercifully close to the end of the 2018-19 campaign, but before they get there, they’ll be forced to stare into a chasm of the failures of the past eight seasons.
The previously named Hornets (again from Charlotte) should have landed Anthony Davis in 2012 had the lottery gods been kinder. However, they were instead saddled with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and eight seasons later the two franchises’ win loss totals (NOP 250-320, CHA 252-317) further highlight the series of mistakes each squad has made.
