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

I'll ask my question again, I guess
what is the FO doing now in anticipation of winning over durant that they would otherwise be doing differently

yes of course they will try, next year, just like everyone else
your argument is that durant will want to play on a winning team with Davis
the pels have Davis already, obviously they'll try to win

no one is saying they don't want to try for durant
we are saying it's a long shot at best and the team is not making decisions based on that they otherwise wouldn't make
