Under the guidance of Anthony Davis and Quincy Pondexter, 10 Pelicans gathered in Los Angeles for voluntary workouts starting Monday, with the hopes of maximizing the team’s cohesion while cutting the learning curve that implementing a new coaching system typically entails. “

Quincy and I had been talking about getting the team together and just reunite for a few days,” Davis said. “We made some calls, and a lot of guys jumped on board. It’ll be great to get back in the gym with the guys and get some work in before training camp rolls around in a few weeks.”

While coach Alvin Gentry and various staff members will be in attendance at the sessions, they’ll be kept at a distance, per NBA guidelines laid out in the collective bargaining agreement.


doesn't say who the ten players are but Gordon is quoted in the article

I thought QPon was banged up and a bit iffy to start the season. That's good news that he's practicing.

This is what people who truly desire to be successful do, Qpon has been worth his money so far.

What we've seen out of most players this offseason is hunger. Getting a taste of the playoffs by sneaking in because they didn't give up was huge.

if i had to guess, Asik probably won't be there due to rehab. hopefully ryno, gordon, jrue, and evans will be there, though. that would be huge.

tyreke's been hanging out with Jiff the Pom, tho. not sure if he will have the time

Evans 100% he touched down in LA yesterday or the day before, but he's been working on his game all summer. Would really hope Perkins is there and if we had already locked up Terry, it would be huge for him to start getting acclimated

Kushner reporting that Asik and Ajinça weren't in attendance, due to being in Europe.

I'm guessing that means the attendees were:

Davis
Pondexter
Holiday
Gordon
Evans
Anderson
Cunningham
Gee
Babbitt
Perkins

Weird that Pndexter is in the headline.

That would be like saying "Lebron James and James Jones organizing voluntary workouts".

Actually Pondexter has been a vocal leader since he's joined the team.

You'd know that if you weren't a fake fan

Nah man you haven't been watching then, QP is very close to AD now and is a very personable guy. He is honestly the biggest leader other than AD on the team. He was a bargain and if you were actually a really fan you would be blessed to have him.

Just pisses me off when I have to respond to people with 0 credibility. Watch the team before you post whether it's a rant or a good post. I understand People ranting because during the season I am the worst at it bc my emotions sometimes over take me but shite like this just sucks.
QP is one of the best things that happened to this team and if you don't agree you don't watch the team.

I'm pretty sure he's just trolling.

He's a fricking Rockets fan.

That isn't a troll. Pondexter is a b-budget player.

You're sort of pathetic, but knock yourself out.

You can have a max contract and be a terrible leader. See Harden, James and Howard, Dwit.
