You Rockettards have a hard realization coming next year when the Pelicans will be sitting higher in the standings than you.
As long as the Pelicans can stay healthy you have to realize the talent and potential on the court. There may be an early tranisiton period for our 5 starters to play together, since injuries hurt that valuable time of adjusting to each others game. AD, Jrue, Ryno, Reke, whoever Monty inserts at the 5th starter.
AD will be even better next year. League has been put on notice this past season. Next season he will be a top 4 MVP candidate.
Jrue and Reke will cause backcourt havoc, alternating PG and SG responsibilities making it harder for other teams to defend.
Ryno will be a top 3 point shooter again, with the floor spacing being maximized with AD on the court.
The only benefit from injuries was that our bench got a TON of minutes this year and helped further develop some good role players.
Add a wing defender and another C and you have a playoff team.

Our bench really excites me:
Rivers
Morrow
Babbit
Ryno
Ajinca or Withey
We also have pierre stashed away.

Next year, if there are no long injuries that affect the team, I see the Pelicans as about a 45 win team, fighting for the 8th seed.

Yea I'll eat my hat if he finishes top 4 in MVP voting next year.

Above average backcourt, but far from one that causes "havoc". Harden and Beverly/Lin/whoever are easily much better.

See my last post, aint no Plumlee coming through that door. Pels will fight for 8 seed but ultimately come up short.

Peltards said this coming into the season and Houston finished with a 20 game lead.
The Pels will be improved but HOU will still be 10-15 games better.
