Season Predictions 2016
Current seeding: 12th
Projected seeding: 12th
With all due respect, it’s never a good sign when SF Alonzo Gee leads your team in games played. Such is the case for New Orleans and their fans, who have watched season-ending injuries to SG Eric Gordon, SF/SG Tyreke Evans, and have witnessed C Omer Asik and PG Norris Cole miss significant time due to injuries as well. Speaking of Asik, that $60 million contract you gave him this summer, and the $20 million you gave C Alexis Ajinca, is looking even dumber now than it did at the time, if that’s even possible. Yes, I’m looking at you, GM Dell Demps. Anyways, superstar PF/C Anthony Davis, PG Jrue Holiday, and PF Ryan Anderson have been guiding forces for the team, performing well and missing minimal time this season, but there just hasn’t been enough talent around them at any given period of time. Allow me:
Dear Mr. Demps,
This roster needs an overhaul: everybody not named Anthony Davis should be put on the trading block. Return with a solid building block or two and adequate depth, and start over. Because what you have clearly is not working.
Sincerely, anyone who has watched the Pelicans at all in the past few years.
