With five games left in the regular season, the New Orleans Pelicans’ efforts this year will soon come to a halt. On paper, it has not been a great year for the franchise. There have been bright spots here and there to be sure, but the general consensus around the league will be that New Orleans had a bad 2018-2019 campaign.
Clearly, there’s an argument for having this belief about the Pelicans. Anthony Davis wants out. General Manager Dell Demps got fired, and there’s still uncertainty as to who will take over in his place. Any hopes of making the postseason have been dead for a while now.
