And how often do you see teams go from the very top of the lottery (picking 1-5 assuming they didn't get extremely lucky with a 1% chance like the Orlando Magic back in t3h day) to contending for a 3-6th seed in their conference the next season? In acquiring talent to field a contender it's going to be a steady curve and not an instantaneously vault from bottom feeder/tank commander to title contender. The Pelicans are now in the middle of that journey. Unfortunately I won't be supplying diagrams or pictures to help convey this point.

Who said anything about contending for a 3-6 seed?

Again, who was expecting them to be a serious contender this year?

The problem is that the difference from last year's team in terms of on court quality is negligible at best and it comes with a much bigger payroll and not nearly as much flexibility.

Agree to disagree. They tried to accelerate the speed of the journey this past offseason and you can not tell me these were the expected results.

Ah, just when I thought you would be able to keep the doucheness out of a post...
