It might work. I mean, there are Band-Aids and the schedule will get easier. But you have to be a CONTENDER at the end of the year to AD to extend. The bar isn't making the playoffs or barely missing it. You gotta be a fantastic team to keep him. How realistic is it to go from what we saw last night to elite?

For starters, we need to see MVP level AD. We have seen nothing like that version of AD.
I am getting tired of his talk about wanting to be the most dominant player. Show me!
Someone needs to wake his arse up!

The Pelicans season was considered lost midway through last year. They got better, way better after that. It's a long season.
If you look at each of these games in a vacuum, you wouldn't be surprised if they lost them.
Warriors on the road? Loss.
Second night of a back to back? Loss.
Third game in four days? Loss.
On the road without your superstar? Loss.
They need to right the ship over the next two weeks (losing to the Bulls and/or Suns with a full roster is bad), but it's a long-arse season. They'll straighten it out.
All a week like this does is emphasize our margin of error. Losses against shite teams will be far more catastrophic to our playoff chances than an October loss to the Jazz without AD.

You've regularly talked about getting that wing that allows everyone to slot into the right rotation making a difference and I don't think you've been wrong about that. They don't need a star level talent addition to get there, they just need to be able to stop giving minutes to Solo, Frazier, Jackson, etc. Even Miller is a negative unless it's a night he's hitting 4 or more 3s. If Clark can get back to being a good enough backup guard, Bazemore/Deadmon does solve a lot of problems and that's supposedly the fallback trade. Demps has made solid additions with in season moves 3 of the last 4 years.
I don't think you can judge this team based on 5 games where AD missed 3 games and played below average returning from injury in the 2 he did play. Especially when Payton was out as well. This is the definition of a small sample size that is compromised by unusual data points.
