Pelicans

One of the most cursed teams on the injury front on a yearly basis seemingly is already been bitten by the injury bug yet again. The Pelicans starting small forward Solomon Hill underwent surgery to repair a torn left hamstring Monday morning and is expected to miss 6 to 8 months of action.

You did it, Anthony Davis-to-the-Boston Celtics truthers. You really, truly, actually, wholly did it. The big man is—or rather, was—sufficiently worried enough about the conspiracy theories masquerading as rumors to address them with the New Orleans Pelicans. From the NOLA.com’s William Guillory: “I get asked all types of random stuff,” he said with smile. “The [...]

We know DeMarcus Cousins has been recruiting bigger names on the New Orleans Pelicans’ behalf. Now we know one of those marquee talents is Carmelo Anthony. No need for sources here. The revelation comes straight from a picture Cousins liked on Instagram, per ESPN.com’s Ian Begley: [tweet https://twitter.com/IanBegley/status/894570533064499200?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fbleacherreport.com%2Farticles%2F2726110-demarcus-cousins-likes-instagram-post-that-links-carmelo-anthony-to-pelicans] Cousins might be in luck: The New York [...]

DeMarcus Cousins is slated for free agency next summer, and no one has a great pulse on whether he’ll leave the New Orleans Pelicans, to whom he was traded last February. But this uncertainty hasn’t stopped him from acting as the team’s chief recruiter. As relayed by Will Guillory of NOLA.com, Cousin is apparently reaching out [...]

The New Orleans Pelicans added a little play making, veteran presence and let’s be honest, ornery-ness to their roster for the 2017-18 season by signing Rajon Rondo to a one-year deal. [tweet https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/886249142967824384] Rondo averaged 7.8 points, 6.7 assists and 5.1 rebounds for the Bulls last season and got them to a surprising 2-0 lead [...]

One of the bigger names and better unrestricted free agents on the market this summer is 27-year-old point guard and oft-injured Jrue Holiday. Holiday played 67 games for the Pelicans last year and averaged 15.4 points, 7.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game on 45% shooting from the field and 35% shooting from beyond the [...]

Any changes the New Orleans Pelicans make this summer will come via roster moves. Because the executorial pecking order isn’t going anywhere. According to The Advocate‘s Scott Kushner, the Pelicans plan to keep head coach Alvin Gentry and general manager Dell Demps in place as they prepare for next season: General manager Dell Demps and coach [...]

Even now, with the New Orleans Pelicans headed for the lottery, the DeMarcus Cousins trade remains a good one for Louisiana’s finest. If you can get Cousins for what will be a mid-end first, Buddy Hield and filler, you do it. Contrary to popular belief, and initial reactions, the move was not a no-brainer, though. [...]

The experiment in the Big Easy hasn’t been an easy transition for Anthony Davis and Demarcus Cousins thus far. The Pelicans, who were 2.5 games out of the No. 8 seed at the All-Star break when they made the blockbuster deal, are now 5.5 games out and basically eliminated from postseason contention. That does not [...]

The DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis experiment in New Orleans hasn’t gotten off to a roaring start thus far as the Pelicans are 2-5 since their blockbuster trade deadline move and Cousins and Davis haven’t quite found their on court chemistry yet. That is somewhat to be expected though as the two most gifted young [...]
