Worst team in the Western Conference, the Pelicans will have to quickly make a choice: continue to fight to secure the play-in or already sacrifice this season to concentrate on the next?

Three elements of the future which, thanks to a full infirmary, have all recently settled into Willie Green’s starting five.
In any case, apart from Brandon Ingram who we know will be leaving, Zion Williamson et CJ McCollum but also the newcomer Dejounte Murray would no longer be considered untouchable! While rotation players like Jose Alvarado, Daniel Theis et Jordan Hawkins are also likely to leave Louisiana soon, depending on the offers offered by other franchises, obviously…
Confirmation that the coming weeks are likely to be hectic New Orleans and that the franchise has a great chance of stimulating the market. Note that the Pelicans do have their first round of Draft 2025, in the event that they start to “tank” to recover the phenomenon Cooper Flagg, for example…
