Everything that followed, from the Wojnarowski tweet to the Benson letter, seemed to indicate the Pelicans would roll with the same combination for at least one more season. I know Sam Amick's recent article mentioned the Pelicans were in the same boat as the Thunder with Scott Brooks, but I don't agree. Monty's trajectory has been up since New Orleans drafted Anthony Davis, not so for Oklahoma City's Brooks. Also, it appeared he had been given every opportunity to succeed while Monty's time was cut short because the organization wanted to go in another direction, for whatever the reason.
