New Orleans Pelicans

It seems like the New Orleans Pelicans big man, Jahlil Okafor, has injured his right ankle. Okafor was seen leaving the United Center on crutches after the team’s preseason loss to the Chicago Bulls. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Okafor was scheduled to undergo an X-ray and an MRI on the ankle after the [...]

After rumors of a deal and the deal reportedly falling through at one point, the New Orleans Pelicans have acquired Nikola Mirotic in a trade with the Chicago Bulls. [tweet https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/959128268464119808?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] The pick is top five protected this season, which means unless the Pelicans miss the playoffs again and land in the top three, the [...]

As a general rule, if you have the opportunity to acquire a point guard with three years and $51 million left on his contract after you’ve already handed a five-year, $125 million pact to another floor general, you absolutely do it. Such is the mindset in New Orleans, apparently. According to Basketball Insiders’ Michael Scotto, [...]

Ryan Anderson is almost on the move. According to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the New Orleans Pelicans, who have been all over the place with trade rumors, are working feverishly to offload Anderson, a free-agent-to-be, somewhere else: The New Orleans Pelicans are pushing hard to find a trade for forward Ryan Anderson, whom they expect [...]

Any leverage the New Orleans Pelicans had in Ryan Anderson trade talks is officially gone. Leverage was nearly nonexistent to begin with. Anderson will be a free agent at the end of this season and, thus, is a potential flight risk—something teams must consider before opening their asset stable in negotiations. But suitors do have [...]

Here we come, NBA All-Star break. Which means here comes the NBA playoffs! More than half of the Association’s 2015-16 season is in the books, and save for a cluster of steady teams at the top of our power rankings, the league’s hierarchy knows no order. For every certainty like the Warriors, Spurs, Cavaliers and [...]

This is not the New Orleans Pelicans’ year. Anthony Davis has been banged up, Eric Gordon is injured, Omer Asik is useless, the supporting cast is underwhelming and the playoffs are officially a pipe dream. Things just can’t get any worse. Except they just did. Tyreke Evans will most likely miss the rest of the [...]

What time is it? NBA power rankings time. A lot has happened since we last met. All-Star rosters were finalized. The Warriors refused to lose. The Suns refused to let Jeff Hornacek keep his job. The Cavaliers found their mojo. The Bulls forgot how to score. The Spurs unleashed Kyle Anderson. The Knicks proved they’re [...]

The New Orleans Pelicans’ 2015-16 season is not for the faint of heart. Injuries have left them outside of the playoff picture. Anthony Davis remains a magnet for contact. Poor, impulsive spending habits have made it so that, even if the Pelicans are healthy, they won’t be worthy of more than a first-round exit at [...]

Eric Gordon will miss the next four to six weeks with a fractured finger, but that may not stop the New Orleans Pelicans from trying to trade him. From the Times-Picayune‘s John Reid (h/t CBS Sports): Gordon fractured his finger when Timberwolves forward Nemanja Bjelica hit it on a steal attempt during the third quarter [...]
