Pelicans’ Offseason Shocker: Why Experts Say Their Moves Could Backfire Spectacularly
So, here we are again—New Orleans Pelicans fans, brace yourselves. After one of their most brutal seasons in recent memory, you’d think the offseason would bring at least a flicker of hope. Nope. Instead, we get a masterclass in questionable decision-making that’s got analysts like Kevin Pelton throwing some serious shade. Swapping draft picks with the Hawks might sound strategic until you realize the Pelicans gave up an unprotected 2026 first-round pick and snagged an injured rookie nobody’s sure will see the court soon. I mean, are they rebuilding or playing some high-stakes poker without a safety net? That Pelicans can only dream about a playoff spot now—actually, they’re among the bottom feeders in the West odds—and the future looks shakier than ever. It’s a tough pill to swallow for a franchise that seemed destined to rise… but hey, maybe next year’s pain will be the ancestry of a comeback story, right? Or, well, not.
