The Pelicans literally paid Omer Asik because AD didn't want to defend centers.
Emeka Okafor started because AD didn't want to defend centers.
Julius Randle and Nikola Mirotic would match up against centers so AD wouldn't have to.
AD would complain to coaches regularly.
Never seen Anthony Davis turn down a defensive assignment.

To recap:
- Pelicans nabbed two of the top executives on the market in Griffin and Langdon
- Nabbed the best training staff professional in Aaron Nelson
- Won the lottery

As someone with no skin in the game, there's no "right way" to be a fan. This is all entertainment. NY of all places is big enough for separate lanes. I enjoy the nuanced discussion, I also love watching people go crazy about their team. Neither is better one way or another

Just saying: The salaries match if the Pelicans were to trade Omer Asik, Solomon Hill, and E'twuan Moore for LeBron James.

Pelicans have been a top 10 FT team all season while Phoenix has been 30th since All Star break, 25th on the season.
Monty Williams spotlighted the FT difference of 42-15 in a game that was physical on both ends. Said it was a disparity that has to be looked into and he doesn't want coaches to feel like they are going to have their heads cut off if they point something like that out.

I still can't believe the Pels:

- Traded the other half to POR in the CJ deal and took Nance in the TPE.
- Traded a reverse protected pick to MEM for Jonas, end up with Jonas and top 10 pick.
