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

Only about 4 teams for the foreseeable future.

We have two top tenish players and we aren't a contender. That's a weird thought. But reality.

The reference for 50 win teams was the Miami Heat team that won a title after a 50-32 regular season.

I think the most important thing is to be a "contender" in a sense that we are a FA destination & Boogie wants to stay after next season. Thus the "50 wins" goal. I don't think anyone really expects to contend for a title in '17 because the current Warriors squad has at least one more season together. But if we want to be competetive for titles in the future, the early groundwork has to be laid now -- first step is being decent enough to retain Boogie
