re: Pelicans with plenty of love in Simmons' worst contracts piece

Right. Because our young players couldn't possibly get better. And their contracts are forever

I am not worried about young players getting better, but that happens when they get playing time and coaching, which these players don't seem to get. Good coaching at least.

The other issue is just that. Their contracts don't last forever, but if you think this team is a title contender in the next 3 years under current management and coaching, you are delusional. They have a lot of talent, but need good coaching and better GM work. The entire team is tied to these players given their contracts the next 3 years.

Again, talented team, with a hodge podge of players that need great coaching to succeed, which the Pelicans don't have.
