re: The New Orleans Pelicans...some thoughts

Seattle still owns the rights to the Sonics, so they would go back to that. They'd love to take the NOLA franchise. Part of them getting a hockey team was so they could parlay that into getting an NBA franchise.

I actually agree with the OP on the name, mantra and coach. Not sure I'd write off all of the players as incapable of winning together. Need to see what they can do under better coaching.
