The New Orleans Pelicans' 2024-25 season ended before it began. They didn't have a chance due to all their injuries, including a long-term one for Dejounte Murray. To top it all off, they fell three spots in the lottery. They'll be in a position to select one in the draft, but they seem far away from being competitive again. The new front office could look to be aggressive this summer to bolster the roster.
In this video, I analyze the Pelicans salary cap situation for their upcoming offseason, facilitate a Giannis trade that allows them to trade up for Dylan Harper, and acquire a veteran center in Domantas Sabonis.
