re: Pelicans Plan A is to make a run at Kevin Durant next offseason

As others have said. We need to win a minimum of 50 games (probably closer to 55). We need to get to the 2nd round and be competitive. We need to see another step forward for Anthony's game. We need Holiday to play at least 70 games. We need Gentry's system to work as planned. We need to have at least a top 10 defense. We need OKC's front office and new coaching staff to suck.

All of those things happen and then we'll have SOME legitimate chance. If any of those things don't happen, our chances shoot way down imo.

Right now I'd say it's 80% that he stays in OKC. I know it's hard for some to remember because it was a little over a year ago, but OKC is STACKED. When healthy they are a top 2 or 3 team in the entire league talent wise. And they're young. They're not as young as us, but they aren't that far off.
