Came across this article/blog on Reddit... Nothing earth-shattering, but it was a pretty good read.

Much of what the author covered has been discussed here. Still, it's new Pels content at a time when all NBA news is focused on the finals.

The author defined "success" and being a contender as winning a minimum of 50 regular season games and getting a 3-6 playoff seed.

I mean, if that is being a contender then there are plenty of paths that could get them there

But in this era, that is totally rewriting the intention of the word "contender"

A contender is a team that has a chance to contend for a title. There is literally nothing the Pelicans can do to be a contender in the true sense of the word

Contenders as in NBA Finals? Or deep into the playoffs like conference finals?

Hope KD breaks his legs so bad he has to retire. Short of that the only real contender in the west are the Warriors for the foreseeable future.

What was the Pelicans record with Boogie and AD last year? Don't remember. I mean they started off 1-4 then finishes much stronger.

Being optimistic.
