How the New Orleans Pelicans Failed Anthony Davis



How the New Orleans Pelicans Failed Anthony Davis

Anthony Marshon Davis Jr nine-time Allstar four-time all NBA member 2017 All-Star game MVP a top 75 player all time and a one-time NBA champion however before all of that he was the top player of the 2012 NBA draft class and considered to have alltime potential coming out of Kentucky and was trusted

With the keys almost immediately to be the savior of the New Orleans Hornets as we all know he is currently enjoying his time in the LA lights winning his first ever championship in his first year there and constantly competing for a championship every year Well except those two Infamous Seasons but we don’t

Talk about that here but Anthony Davis was meant to be the hero of New Orleans however for seven whole years of Anthony Davis’s career he was potentially wasting his talents in New Orleans only making the playoffs two times watching his front office make little moves towards winning until his second half

His time there and a lot and I mean a lot of losing despite owning a all-time talent in this video I want to discuss all the moves made during ‘ 80s time in New Orleans and just see how the New Orleans Pelicans failed to bring Anthony

Davis any type of success that got him to move towards a championship Contender and completely give up on the team that drafted him with the first overall pick because his time in New Orleans rarely gets talked about and I am here to note every event I can with that being said

Chris Paul less than a year ago to the Los Angeles Clippers a player who gave them so much success and despite never leading into a finals a Conference Finals gave his all for the City of New Orleans but his time had ended in the Hornets where were lucky enough to jump

For the fourth spot in the lottery to the first to obtain a new Cornerstone player some say it was due to it being rigged but while I don’t deny that I will let you to be the decider of that but while this pick for the Hornets

Would soon be met one of the biggest big men prospects of all time in Anthony Davis the 6’10 230lb center who dominated the college game was a defensive anchor with skill second to none and even won many awards like him being the national Player of the Year in

His freshman season and even winning the big dance with the Kentucky Wildcats so so as the obvious choice at the number one pick it was up to the Hornets to make the most out of him and make him the reason the City of New Orleans can finally become a city of Champions in

The NBA with time already though the Hornets would go on and plan for Anthony Davis’s future only the 10th pick of that same draft class and what better the match you’re alltime center with than a point guard who can be his partner for the Future with the 10th pick in the 2012 NBA draft the New Orleans Hornets select Austin Rivers from Duke University already thinking about the future of their alltime product Anthony Davis the GM at the time Del Demps decided to draft a highly rated point guard in the draft process Austin Rivers from duke just

Like how ad was considered to be the next big big man Austin Rivers out of high school was the third best product out of the 2011 class went to Duke as a festar recruit and had a season to remember at Duke where he was the top scorer of his team and had many

Highlight worthy moment so people thought he could bring the same production and develop to become even better at the next level as a top duo with Anthony Davis and a lot of people saw the potential in their future Duo of the defense of monster Davis and an

Offense of heavy rivers and with this new era of Hornets basketball coming the front office were already trying to make moves to surround Davis with Talent on July 11 2012 the Hornets would tray Gustavo Aon a rookie from the year before to the Orlando Magic for the services of Ryan and Anderson the

Reigning most improved player for the 2012 season one of the money great moves that will start off the ad 10 year Ryan Anderson has proven himself as one of the best stretch pigs in the NBA and average a career-high 16 points in his final year in Orlando and wanted to get

Paid but obviously the magic and himmer out is stalemate with this new deal so he agreed on a sign and trade deal with the Hornets so now that would bring ad his power forward for the future that’ll be spacing the floor for him to operate as the new centerpiece and Center funny

Enough for this Pelicans team but remember the Hornet at this time had youth all over that’ll be operating as future pillars for this New Orleans Squad with a as the nucleus Eric Gordon at the time was 23 and was just traded recently to the Hornets during the Chris

Paul trade and has already proven himself to be a consistent 20 point per game score Grievous Vasquez was traded a year ago in his second season he has showed himself to be an eighty playmaker despite playing mostly Off the Bench and they also would trade for Robin Lopez in

The summer ready for a fresh start after his time in Phoenix this Hornet team has potential all around and just needed to figure out how they go about developing Anthony Davis and finding the right pieces to make them a great team whether via trade or in the draft but now we can

Start the 20123 NBA season the Hornets are coached by Monty Williams and his job is to see how he can make the most out of ad’s first ever NBA season off the bat his debut he’d already show what he can do long term scoring 21 points drawing nine

Free throw attempts and of course getting a steel and a block and this was against the San Antonio Spurs who was in the Conference finals last year and still own one of the best power forwards of all time Tim Duncan but while we start off on this positive note one of

The major hits to his career overall would already get him as soon as his career started as he suffered a concussion his onlyest second game ever and soon after fracturing his hand that sidelined him for seven games as you all know this isn’t the injuries that he has

Nowadays but we’ll get into his first major incident later overall Anthony Davis rookie season was everything everybody expected of him and then some it didn’t take ad long enough to learn how to score in the NBA level and become a defensive Menace he had many key games

In this first season that showed his full skill set blocking five shots in his third ever game in his career against the Charlotte Bobcats and scoring a season High 28 points in his sixth ever game against the Milwaukee Bucks but again we see another glimpse of his future as he’d have a stretch

Reaction to his ankle that kept him out for 11 game as we all know when you are a near seven-footer lower body injuries can be a depth sence to your career this is his rookie season but considering how many he would end up getting later in

His career it sucks to see that it started off even this early in his career but let’s stop talking about all that in ad’s rookie season we see Anthony Davis be used similar to how he was used in his lone College season offensively more of a pick and roll

Threat and less of a post threat as he’d still have to work on that as he develops he was never known as a consistent threat on the Block in his time in Kentucky more using his length and finishing moves to get points alongside of his ability to space the

Floor due to that we see Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson the more experienced scorers on the team taking the role as the main threats while ad will be the fourth in command overall we see Anthony Davis have a rookie season where he put up 13 points grabbing a team High 8.2

Boards a game and blocking a team High 1.8 blocks per game and that would make him 11th in the NBA in blocks per game and 15th in total blocks which is pretty impressive for a rookie and you knew it would only get better the bigger he gets

And the more he plays however despite this season he would only be runner up of the Rookie of the Year race losing to Damen Lillard in a unanimous fashion but it was deserved did you watch rookie Damen Lillard but this would only be one award there are plenty of others to win

Overall the Hornets knew what they had a future star in the making but it will be a work and progress already we have defensive anchor who can be a top scorer in the league with time and he has his teammates who could score with him in

The future to help him out and with a record of 27 and 55 the Hornets are in Prime position to get a new teammate to help ad as he gets better and with the Hornets front office seeing what they had potentially they went to work to make something happen as soon as

Possible in the summer of 2013 the now Pelicans after their Rebrand were thinking of making a splash to add to an already exciting young team full of potential and wanted to keep adding more pieces to take them to the promised land even faster but first comes the 2013 NBA

Draft while the Pelicans had a prime time spot as the six selectors of the class but as we all know the class even by experts were considered very much underwhelming and not with a lot of upside and with the Pelicans front office knowing that they decided to take

Advantage of an unlucky team looking to barter with the sixth pick in the 2013 NBA draft the New Orleans Pelicans select nerland Noel from the University of Kentucky with the sixth overall pick of the 2013 NBA draft class the Pelicans select big man Nerin Noel who was

Thought to be the Undisputed number one overall pick of the class and with his jaw dropping 4.4 blocks a game that ranked him first in the NCAA in blocks per game and his 2.1 steals per game and 24 games played it showed him to be the next offensive Menace in the league with

His active hand matching him up with Anthony Davis would create a day one defensive core that would disturb anyone daring to drive in but due to a knee injury that he suffered in college he would fall down on draft boards as you saw with him going number six but of

Course as we all no with the injuries that can be fixed however the Philadelphia 76ers wanted to go in a New Direction and wanted to start their process era and wanted to trade their pick in 2009 Drew holiday who they just signed to a 4-year $41 million rookie

Extension and with the one time All-Star being available for trade the Pelicans saw the new guard of the future right in front of them and jumped at the opportunity so it was done on July 12th 2013 the New Orleans Pelicans traded nland Noel in a top five 2014 first

Round pick protected deal for Drew holiday and Pierre Jackson and both sides got what they wanted one got a big man with potential to be a DPI winner and anchor of their new era and the other one speeds up their rebuild with a point guard who became an Allstar at his

Fourth year and has plenty of potential to keep improving while also adding another piece the future with Anthony Davis as the leader but what if I told you it doesn’t even stop there Dell Demps was in the office making moves to speed along this process even more it

Was for another budding star in the making who needed a new home on July 10th 2013 a couple days before the Drew Holiday trade the Pelicans will be a part of a three team deal with the Kings and Trailblazers where they send away Robin Lopez and Grievous Vasquez to

Receive back Tyreek Evans in return again taking advantage of another team trying to downsize if you watch my timeline on the Sacramento Kings at the time you know that there was always something going on in the aspect of a new coach or even front office members

To the Sacramento King and in this case the coach there made Tyreek Evans an afterthought on the team and Tyreek lost his value due to it so he was viewed as Expendable and ended up in New Orleans but this can be viewed as a cheap deal for someone who had such high

Expectations after a very historic rookie season he just simply needs that new sense of scenery and needs to be put back at the position he started his time in the NBA playing point guard and not off the ball so in the span of only a few days the Pelicans front office have

Traded for their next back court of the future for ad to develop alongside of and compete with and considering that Austin Rivers rookie season was far from impressive if he ever improves that would just be a plus when it came to death and as they started the 20134 NBA

Season the talks around the league of the Pelicans being a dark horse playoff team at the end of the conference started to rumble a seconde ad coming in gaining 15 PBS and now becoming less lanky and more tough for the NBA game the new backourt in New Orleans with

Tyreek starting the season Off the Bench gives the Pelicans more reliable scoring and defense and of course Eric Gordon still being the 20 point per game threat he always is the Pelicans could potentially Make Some Noise around the league as a Young and Hungry team and with this new team and development you’d

See ad reach New Heights as a player becoming the youngest player to ever get a 25.5 rebound game in his second game of the season against the Magic in the next game blocking six shots and stealing the ball six times while scoring 25 points making him the fifth

Ever player to do that beating the Charlotte Bobcats soon after he scored career-high 32 points grabbed 12 boards and again blocked six shots making him the youngest player to ever put up a statline of that magnitude the start of the 20134 NBA season for ad was a jump

Rarely seen from young players going from his numbers last year to now averaging 2 and4 blocks per game so early in this season however due to a charging foul attempt trying to catch Amari stmm off guard he fractured his left hand again that would leave him sideline for seven games but before the

Injury ad legit looked like it was his lead to take over with another leap in this game now learning how to score at the NBA level and becoming that defensive threat he was at Kentucky with his added strength and defensive IQ and it was leading to winning basketball

Earning a record before the injury of 8 and8 at the time there was still some Kinks to figure out of the roster but there were some obvious leaders of that roster that were meant to stick around but as the season progressed ad would find himself garnering more accolades

And finding himself compared to more and more Hall of Fame worthy Talent up until the All-Star break though where he was not selected as one but due to a Kobe Bryant injury will replace the Mamba and make his first ever All-Star game selection but while ad would see all

This success his team would start to crumble little by little causing the season to end up being a wash Ryan Anderson the most improved player from a couple seasons ago will be S line after running into Boston Celtics forward Jared Wallace that gave him two herniated disc in his neck and would

Caus him to miss the rest of the season for surgery and Drew holiday only lasted 34 games himself that year due to a stretch facture in his tibia so right there you have two starters gone from the lineup where you are trying to cultivate something and considering that

You don’t own your own pick unless it goes top five in the draft very low chance of by the way the season ends up being a waste of sorts even with the development of AD taking off speaking of Anthony Davis let’s just finish off what he was able to accomplish in only his

Second season ad ended up averaging 20 points 10 rebounds and leading the NBA with 2.8 blocks per game you heard that right Anthony Davis led the NBA and blocks for game and despite missing 16 games that year was sred and total blocks his defensive presence was second

To none and he made the Pelicans a team not to be mess with defensively however as soon as he got off the court uh well we’ll talk about that later but he was also top 10 in rebounding top 15 in points per game and end of the year

Third and most improved player voting and eighth in dpy voting individually speaking ad was a Onan Wrecking Crew both on offense and defense but all around this team still has some work to be done ending the year 34 and 48 with a nice 12 spot in the west the next step

For the Pelicans is giving them some type of identity of some kind this may be ads team but there’s no consistent threat to them that’ll make teams go about making a strategy to beat them that isn’t just contain ad than profit with them ranking 13th in offensive efficiency and somehow being 27th in

Defensive rating despite on ad there’s a problem on that team that needs to be addressed because thinking ad can solve every defensive issue is it the way to go something has to change for this to be a great team and to make the playoffs for the first time in ad’s career and

For the first time for New Orleans since the CP3 era and without their first round pick this year in a very good draft class how will Del Demps and the Pelicans mix things up going into next season or they simply run it back and hope for the best as mentioned before

The New Orleans Pelicans are being very aggressive in the manner of trying to give Anthony Davis a core of players that will stick around for the future and being so aggressive that they even traded their 2014 class pick for the services of Drew holiday so with that

Move they missed out on the amazing 2014 class where they could have got the 10th pick and would have selected a good group of players are still producing today whether that is Zack LaVine Yousef nkic TJ War before the injury and others but you still got to be content having

Drew holiday waiting for him to Blossom back into being an Allstar level player but even without a first round pick the Pelicans stayed busy in the off season trying to fix some of their problems from the year before and solidify their team into a playoff roster only a few

Days after the draft on July 15th the Pelicans will once again make a deal with the devil trading another first round pick this time in a 2015 draft class with Alonzo G and Scotty Hopkins to the Houston Rockets for the services of armir AEK and and omry caspy in a

Three- team deal while omry would be soon after waves the main prize they wanted was omir aik who the season before despite being injured was one of the best rebounders in the NBA at the time and a real shot blocking threat that can be the center of the future for

Anthony Davis because if you were watching ad’s early years you knew that ad centers were just not it whether it was Jason Smith Alexis aena or Ryan Anderson ad has never had a decent Center who can hold their own as a Defender so now omir is here to hold his

Own grab his own boards and block shots so ad doesn’t have to be the only option and the only last line of the fense but trading a first round pick for him and also considering that omir is on an expiring deal there is a lot of risk in

This trade trading parts of a future for what can only be described as a role player with a very quiet offseason outside of this trade the Pelicans are looking to go even further than when they did last year and with a day one lineup of Drew holiday Tyreek Evans Eric

Gordon ad and omir siik to be honest with you that sounds like a playoff team but remember during this time in the Western Conference you had 50 win teams being six and seven seeds the Western Conference was brutal during the 2010s so your goal is to either win 50 games

Bare minimum or be lucky enough to win enough games to be the eighth seed in the wild wild wild west but in the first game of the season ad started things hot like he never left 26 points 17 rebounds three Steals and nine blocks ad was looking to make another jump and show

The NBA that this is his League to own and desperately trying to make his first ever playoff appearance and this season for ad and the Pelicans would be a season to remember whether it was his gamewinner against the championship winning Spurs from last season early in the year

Evans Davis scoring a career-high 43 points against the jazz on November 22nd or possibly the most important shot of the the season where he made a game-winning three against the OKC Thunder where he dropped 41 points for Anthony Davis kid got some game yes he does aump f three from

35t every great Anthony Davis performance was a very necessary one to keep the Pelican head above water and survive a very bloated Western Conference when it came to talent and standing but even after that game winner the Pelicans were still fairly surviving with a 27 and 23 record but Demps in the

Front office knew this team was a few pieces away from being something in this league they were trying to make that happen as soon as possible so now we have another trade earlier in the year they traded away their 2012 first round pick in Austin Rivers leaving a huge

Hole in their backup point guard spot and the Pelicans decided to fill that hole with a trade that brought in Norris Cole for the Miami Heat in a three te deal where they only had to give up John Salmons of course this is also the deal that brought the gor and dragic but

We’re focusing on the Pelicans here after that trade we finally move into the 2015 All-Star break where Anthony Davis is voting in as the Western Conference Allstar starting center making his first ever All-Star game without the injury Clause from last year however just like Kobe ironically from

The year before he would also miss the game due to an injury to his shoulder but again this is another big milestone for him and the Pelicans making it known that they own a top player in the conference and in the NBA itself but even with this great season individually

The bellans are still trying to stay in the race for the e seed because while they are over 500 at this time the Western Conference stats the Western Conference meaning that barely having a 500 record means you’re at the bottom of the playoff race and their opponent to

Beat was the Oklahoma City Thunder who are without Kevin Durant due to him having foot surgery and the Pelicans would need to play their best to avoid being jumped by a very hungry Russell Westbrook and the OKC Thunder Anthony Davis would take charge and put up more ridiculous stat lines throughout the

Season and winning games at the same time but the most important game of the season came down to the last game of the season because the Oklahoma City Thunder had been keeping up with the Pelicans game after game and ended the season beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 113

To 138 so with the Thunder winning it it means the Pelicans and thunder would end up having the same record 45 and 37 to tie the season but if the Pelicans win their final game well that means that they own the tiebreaker meaning the Pelicans would be in the playoffs

Automatically as the eighth seed if they beat the reigning Champions San Antonio Spurs ad would have to pull off one more amazing game to beat the upcoming six seed in the playoffs but despite them being the six seed this is a 55 win San Antonio Spurs Squad so let me remind you

That this game winner on February the 6 from Anthony Davis was most certainly the most important shot of the the season in this final game the Pelicans would end up beating the Spurs 108 to 103 with ad leading all scores to 31 points but once the game went from 12 to

12 in the 5 minute Mark of the first quarter the Pelicans would never look back gaining up to a 23-point lead at one point and watching 8 scored 10 points the first quarter alone and Norris Cole the six-man scoring all 13 of his points in the second quarter safe

To say they really wanted this game and stop the Spurs from coming back at the end but with this win gives the Pelicans their first ever playoff appear in 2011 and marking ad’s first ever playoff appearance in his career but before we get into that we got to talk about

Anthony Davis’s thirdd ever season he ended off the year averaging a career-high 24 points per game and 10 rebounds with 2.9 blocks that once again leads the NBA for the second straight season ad would again R the occasion after its last season and truly lead a team to Victory night after night and

The stats and results speak for themselves but the NBA would also notice as ad would finish fifth in MVP votes fourth in dpy votes and ended the season in the all NBA first team and all NBA Defensive second team but while this team did end up winning 45 games which

Would be a playoff lock immediately for a lot of teams in most cases the Pelicans still suffered the same issues eighth in offensive rating mostly carried by Anthony Davis but also rising to the 22nd spot in defensive rating which is simply not enough this team can

Score with the best of them but they have a real defensive problem that might cause issues in the playoffs and who wors to be your first opponent in years of making the playoffs and in your playoff career been facing off against the first seated Warrior Squad who would

Score the most points per game as a team and own Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson at their peaks which means that ad can only do so much to affect the game defensively and has to rely on his perimeter defensive guys to handle two of the best Shooters in league history

And this playoff matchup the problem I spoke of before turns into a reality the Pelicans will be swept by The Warriors but losing all four games in close fashion outside of one Stephen Curry would show himself to be the ultimate problem for the Pelicans scoring 30 or

More in three games and making 23s in total while Klay chipped in for 16 while making over 40% of them the Pelicans were outmatching every game but ad really tried his best to even win one game averaging 31 Points 11 rebounds and three blocks per game in that series but

Every time it looked like they can actually squeak out a game Stephen Curry would come through and stomp all over that dream but the Pelicans have learned a lot of things this year the obvious being that ad can truly lead a team the prosperity on his own but the brother

Needs some help so now it is up to Del Demps and the Pelicans front office to continue adding pieces to this already decent core and to take the next step in this rebuild of course again they did trade their 2015 draft pick so now they’ll have to get creative when it

Comes to doing this as the next season will be a crucial one the start off the 2015 off season a very controversial move would be the headline of the day during the NBA playoffs on May 12 2015 Dell Demps would announce that Monty Williams will be fired from

His head coaching position as the team would split ways from him but the thing is Monty had no reason to be fired in the first place sure he wasn’t the best head coach but he led the Hornets to a playoff bir in his first year with CP3 stayed during the rebuild and then

Brought them back to the playoffs and ad’s third season and while I was researching the reasoning for this firing I couldn’t even find a good one in the slightest outside the fact that D demp was looking for a new look and the lack of Defense on the team and no one

Around the league liked this move as Monty is one of the most well-liked individuals in the association and also had a very close relationship with the star player Anthony Davis but if you want to hear how stupid this firing was listen to this quote from ESPN quote

Lumis and Demps declined to cite a single problem they had with Williams rather they stress that he did a number of things well while coaching a young injury Riddle team and that firing him was difficult on a personal and professional level end quote so again

Safe to say this firing would be a very very controversial one but the man to replace Monty would be Alvin Gentry oh look he has the same first name as me a four-time head coach and the main credit towards the success of the Golden State Warriors offense where he was the

Assistant coach and of according to ESPN the offensive coordinator of the team and Dell damps wanted some of that action I am sure so his goal is for Gentry to spread some of that magic onto the Pelicans and make them a dangerous team coming into next season while

Controversial we’ll just have to see if this move was worth it and especially the decline in trust ad would have to have in the front office for getting rid of someone that he definitely enjoyed being on the team but after a very quiet draft night because of them not owning

Their 2015 first round pick the the Pelicans have some people that they have to pay and pay they did on July 9th 2015 omira sik would accept a 5-year $58 million deal now locking in the Turkish Center for a long time and paying a good

Bag to do it so now he’s locked in officially as the center of the future but again he was traded for a first round pick so it was safe to say that he was going to be a future Corp member as a safe defensive Center they would also

Add in shooter Luke babbit Dante Cunningham and Kendrick Perkins to be the backup Center and lastly the Pelicans will go on and sign ad to a Max rookie extension deal with a 5year 145 million deal and of course it is welld deserved as the man who can single-handedly win games on both ends

But this also stands as a ticking timer because the Pelicans have 5 years pretty much to make the Pelicans a championship team or he can leave for nothing at the end of it so the Pelicans are not on the clock to make that happen the goal will

Now be for the Pelicans to try to comp compound off last year and hope for some development from a now 25-year-old Drew holiday 27-year-old Eric Gordon 26-year-old Tyreek Evans and of course Anthony Davis but weirdly enough the way the 2016 season would start is in the worst way possible first major

Difference this will be 0s first ever season he primarily play center second ad will be without duw holiday to start off the year due to leg issues that’s been plaguing him since he came to New Orleans and lastly Tariq Evans would miss out on the beginning of the Season

Due to getting Arthur op opic surgery in the summer so that leaves ad without starting backcourts and due to that ad would have an even rougher CH China to win anything starting off the year 1 and 11 but it can’t be blamed on pretty much anybody but the Pelicans are getting ran

Out of the gym and starting off the year at the bottom of the NBA due to those injuries from before but over the span of the Season you can see this year becoming more of a wash from all angles mostly due to injury Drew holiday would only play 65 games however with a

Minutes restriction and not allowing to be played back to back and mostly being off the bench as he rehabbed his bum leg Eric Gordon only played 45 games and Tyreek Evans would only survive 25 games before being out the entire year for surgery once again so ad was truly on

His own to where his second leading scorer would be Ryan Anderson scoring 17 points Off the Bench Yes you heard that right his second leading score was off the bench so yeah you wouldn’t be surprised to hear that the Pelicans would only scrape together 31 wins all

Year going back down to rookie ad’s Hornets level basketball but this time led by an Allstar L Anthony Davis who meet another All-Star team who averaged very similar numbers for the year before with 24 points 10 rebounds and two blocks per game but even a d would have

To go down himself late into the season to receive left solder surgery due to a torn labor so there is really not much to say in Alvin Gentry’s first season with the Pelicans and in the fourth season of this video because everybody was injured every everyone suffered and

A lot of L’s regained ad himself would still become an Allstar and even missed out on all NBA status so that in itself should tell you just how bad things were getting so instead here are the best moments of the season for the Pelicans ad on January 15 2016 we get a game

Winner against the Hornets now the pick out top for Holiday he’s got Davis on the L two-point game and AD would get his career high at this point with 59 points grabbed 20 boards against the Pistons on February 21st 2016 so what now the Pelicans can’t do

Much except hope for things to turn around next year and be better off and of course expect Better Health from everyone but in exchange of this horrible season the Pelicans receive the sixth pick in the 2016 NBA draft and despite missing out on the top guys of

The class the Pelicans have a chance at making something happen and to redeem themselves after this very very ugly season but everyone is allowed to have you know one free pass right because you have to give this season some Grace considering all the mishaps that came in

From it but let’s just hope they bounce back and pick up a rookie that will stick around in the future and can become a potential All-Star teammate with Anthony Davis going into the 2016 off season there are a lot of questions that need to be answered but the main one is how

Are the Pelicans planning on improving this team because it’s safe to say that ad doesn’t have enough help to make any type of damage in the Western Conference but in the 2016 draft the Pelicans have a prime time spot to get an Allstar level player if they play their cards

Right at this position yes they would miss out on Ben Simmons Brandon Ingram and Jaylen brown but there is always someone who can be picked outside of the top five that can produce almost immediately but there isn’t any clear holes on their team so legit anyone can

Serve as a future piece of this roster with the sixth pick in the 2016 NBA draft the New Orleans Pelicans select buddy heeld from Freeport Bahamas and the University of Oklahoma buddy heel what could potentially be the New Orleans Pelican savior at this point in time at Oklahoma he turned himself into

A premier three-point scoring artist scoring 25 a game in his senior year and making four three-pointers a night at a over 40% clip from the three-point line which can easily TR translate into a long and luxurious NBA career and Scouts loved him for that as he can immediately

Come into an NBA team and produce only problem is that Scouts saw in his game it was very one-dimensional and considering he’s going to go from college to the NBA he might just be a heavy volume shooter and that’s about it and also adding alongside that he’s on

The shorter side for a shooting guard or even a small forward that could definitely be a problem but what isn’t a problem is the fact that he could be utilized correctly on the right team and who better to have buddy heel than the team who owns the head coach credited

With creating what the Golden State Warriors are now offensively this pick had very mixed results especially as they would miss out on Kentucky Star freshman Jamal Murray who got picked up right after buddy but if I had to imagine they probably want to be more NBA ready buddy considering they are

Trying to go right back to the playoffs with him potentially at the lead alongside Anthony Davis and after this draft night it was time for the Pelicans to get aggressive in agency as Dell Demps went all in to bring as much talent as possible but first before that

Tragedy strikes one of the main pillars of this rebuild so far decides to move on to greener pastures and those people are Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon who both signed with the Houston Rockets to play a Mike dantony system and most certainly having a better chance of

Winning a championship so already we are off to a terrible note as they don’t retain two pretty good scores at their positions leaving ad with even less help than expected so that buddy heeld acquisition will need to ELD result sooner than expected due to that and

Even though money did open up on the books the Pelicans couldn’t do much in attracting people to play in New Orleans their main signing for the season up coming would be Solomon Hill etan Moore Tim Frasier and Terrence Jones and just like that the Pelicans expectations are

A lot lower than expected due to them not retaining Ryan and Eric for another potential playoff run but at the same time I don’t blame them but ad can only do so much on his own and you can really tell he wanted to try his best towards

Winning something in his first game of the season against the Nuggets he went off for 50 points 15 rebounds and got five Steals and four blocks but despite that he lost the game then the next game he went off for 45 and 17 against the Warriors and again lost the game in fact

The Pelicans would lose their first eight games of the season and started off the year 9 and 20 there was no positivity in sight outside of the dominance that ad was trying to do and single-handedly win games to the Pelicans and outside of Drew holiday staying consistent and finally being

Healthy after his constant leg issues that’s been plaguing him for years you can simply look down the roster and see that help was not on the way even our rookie from the 2016 class buddy healed he was having a hard time adjusting to the NBA and as predicted only being used

As a shooter not being trusted as a starter on the team for sure only playing 20 minutes a night but despite all of that there was one major positive and that was the fact that this season would be the healthiest we would ever see Anthony Davis up until this point

However it came with a lot of losing unfortunately but Anthony Davis did find himself back in the All-Star game as a starter and continuing the same play he did trying to carry his team in the season however this time it would be put in the history books forever in the 2017

All-Star Game Anthony Davis will scored 52 points in a winning effort against the Eastern Conference which gave him the honor of being the 2017 allstar game MVP and breaking Wilt Chamberlain’s allstar game scoring record and what made it extra special was the fact that it was being done in front of his home

Crowd in New Orleans but despite all this great moment so far his team was still struggling having a record of 23 and 34 Which is far from making it back to the playoffs the Pelicans are on the hot seat with this team ad is a top 10

If not a top five player in in this league at the time and his second best player cannot be Drew holiday and you expecting a championship off of it and with that in mind the Pelicans would finally make a huge Splash and bring Anthony Davis his best teammate to this

Date the Pelicans have agreed to trade buddy heill Tyreek Evans Langston Galloway in a future first and second round pick to the Kings for DeMarcus Cousins I’m sure you remember this February 20th 2017 the Sacramento Kings are trade All In n ba centor DeMarcus Cousins for a

Measley price of Buddy heeld Tariq Evans Langston Galloway in a 2017 first and second round pick this trade was thought to be one of the biggest fleeces of all time getting an all NBA level Center in his prom for basically nothing in return but it does go much deeper than that the

Kings wanted to start tanking again and front office member vivec rad thought of Buddy heel to have Stephen Curry potential but at the same time DeMarcus Cousins has an upcoming free agency deal where he could command over $200 million and the Kings wanted to avoid that as

Much as possible so now he’s the Pelicans potential problem because he could absolutely leave for nothing if he wanted to stay in sack toown and now he can do the exact same thing in New Orleans but who cares at the moment you have Anthony Davis and Boogie cousins

Together and they could create one of the best big man Duos in NBA history at least that’s what the thought was at the time both all NBA level centers with Hall of Fame potential and they just got a learn how to play together simply and the roster might have to be bolstered

Just one more little bit to be able to go back into the finals next season but this honeymoon period of this trade made things look so good for the future in the upcoming season sure they finished off the year with these two going 11 and

13 but that 11 and 13 record showed a lot of chemistry between these two in that last stretch of the Season Boogie would fit right in with ad averaging 2412 and four assists but as the season ends there’s a lot of optimism that the Pelicans are finally in that sphere of

Teams who can compete in the Western Conference and Beyond of course it don’t mean they have to get a few more extra pieces to make that happen but with ad and bookie being a Duo you have a lot more gravity to get some key players to

Sign and play down south overall you see the Pelicans finish 34 and 48 but as we all know going into next year that record will be much better so as the season comes to it and the Pelicans will miss the playoffs once again ad will be

An all NBA member in the first team and make all defensive second team but everyone knew around the League this Pelicans team is going to be legit going into next year and with a Summer full of rest and now you’ll be able to get ad and Boogie together for a whole summer

To create even more Synergy they can officially start competing in the NBA next year as a serious team the summer of 2017 was going to be an awfully important few months for the future of the New Orleans Pelicans after acquiring dest cousins at the trade deadline last year the Pelicans and Del

Demps are trying their hardest to add more productive pieces around them to make sure this team is competing for a long time and by a long time I mean that ad is 23 and Boogie is 26 so while they do have time it is now win now mode and

They have to get something as soon as possible to make all of these moves worth it but with their 2017 pick being traded the only way they can truly rely on them getting someone new was in free agency throughout this entire timeline they had not been able to attract any

Type of high tier player or even a really good role player on their team every productive player was either a string of good luck or brought in Via trade and that would remain the same unfortunately but there was one name that had people surprise that he would

Even touch the state of Louisiana that person was Rajan Rondo the 30-year-old point guard and the one-time NBA champion at this point of his career ran Rondo was on a really bad of the media trashing his appearance due to his actions on and off the court but while

He’s still a productive playmaking God he always is he also comes with a lot of bad ju guu at least according to the media that has gone with him from every team whether it was his Feud was with Carlile in Dallas or his power struggle in Chicago but with a one-year $3.3

Million deal on the table Rajan Rondo became a New Orleans Pelican not a big name at all and thought to be a risk to others but he’s looking for Redemption and this was his chance to get it but there is also someone else who got signed and that person was Drew holiday

To a 5year $126 million deal obviously they couldn’t afford to make the same mistake like what happened with Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson but Drew wanted to come back no matter what anyways but at least this holds him down to stay as a pillar of this team and one of the few

Original teammates of Anthony Davis that stayed since his rookie season and a productive player at that outside of that as usual their offseason was quiet as it can be but while researching this video I found that the Pelicans were projected to be the ninth seed this upcoming year and missed the playoffs

According to ESPN so while everyone believed the duo of AD and DeMarcus Cousins would be good the experts didn’t believe that they still stood a chance in the wild wild west so it was up to them to prove that they can subvert expectations and by New Year’s Day the

Experts were looking to be correct in their prediction as the Pelicans couldn’t find a consistent Groove being 18 and 18 5 00 on the dot but it was due to a very unexpected reason the New Orleans Pelicans are one of the worst scoring defensive teams in the league

You think a team anchored by ad and even have DeMarcus Cousins and Drew holiday there would at least be able to make a decent defensive team at wht’s end but the way the Pelicans are playing will make that happen playing at the fastest Pace in the NBA Rajan Rondo is

Orchestrating the offense with ease playing with two prime time big men and DeMarcus Cousins was having a career year getting times playing alongside ad but when you also give up as many points as you score it doesn’t mean very many games will end up being very easy but

This team was very Dynamic and a very fun team to watch watching ad and DeMarcus Cousins operating the way they do and giving teams headaches trying to figure out just how to guard two all NBA big men in their Prime but in this season and with this new offense we see

Ad reach du Heights once again averaging a career high of 28 points per game while also score more efficiently than ever thanks to him playing alongside Boogie and Rajan Rondo at the same time the signing of Rondo and the trade for Boogie just simply made his time playing

Basketball that much easier and the Pelicans were making things happen due to it and as they start the year 9 and3 for a record of 27 to 23 they would climb up the ranks of the Western Conference for another potential playoff run however as we all know on January 26

2018 we see the trajectory of this season plummet right before our very eyes misses oh almost got his own rebound right there in a clutch play situation trying to help the Pelicans win a game off of a free throw attempt DeMarcus Cousins would land wrongly on his left leg and

Rupture his Achilles a injury so brutal yet he did it by simply landing on his leg wrong for a loose ball and we all already knew what the result of that injury would be DeMarcus Cousins would be out for the rest of the season due to

It but as we talked about before the Kings who traded him away also knew that DeMarcus Cousin was having trouble with that same leg as he injured it in the last two seasons majorly in sack toown as that hustle play was just the final straw taking him out for a whole entire

Season and with that now leaving Anthony Davis back again to how it used to be in New Orleans ad versus the world and having to carry his team just like the years of old however D Demps wouldn’t even wait around to see how this would

Turn out making a trade to try to save this team only five days later on February 1st 2018 the Pelicans will trade Tony Allen omir aik jir Nelson and a 2018 protected first round pick for the services of nicoa mirk Nia mirk was a very highly talented pick up by the

Bulls who have been playing with them for a few years and turned himself into a contending piece with his ability to space the floor and score off the dribble but he’s looking to get paid after this team option kicks in the next season and that didn’t align with what

The Chicago Bulls wanted and the winner of The Sweep Stakes that ended up getting him was the Pelicans at least now the Pelicans can breathe easy as just like Boogie nirit fits in very well and gives ad wiggle room to operate as the teams starting but at the same time

He opens up room for them cap space wise getting rid of Amir 6 contract who isn’t even playing on the team all that much and went from being a starting center a couple years ago to a bench warmer as soon as he got that extension a few

Years back but as they start off this new era Nicole metic going into the All-Star break on a three-game winning streak the Pelicans would once again see ad become an All-Star starter having one of his best years of his young career but his team Focus was to make the

Playoffs it was just looked like the team clicked right after the All-Star break the three-game win streak ballooned into a 10 game winning streak lasting almost an entire month and they end the season 21- 11 since they traded for nicool am mertic and had a record of

48 and 34 the best of this video so far as they were only two games away from hitting the 50 win club and guess what due to the Wild Wild West This Record would only be good for the six seed and losing two more games meant missing the

Playoffs once again so that late season run was absolutely necessary for them to even be back in this position this team success though should be applauded all around the team though despite him not wanting to do it ad would man up and play the center position night after

Night and once again average career best numbers having to solely be the number one scorer due to the injury of DeMarcus Cousins while making all NBA first team once again and being a part of the all defensive first team Drew holiday would also step up big time averaging a

Career-high 19 points per game while giving ad much needed relief at times and even made all defensive first team for his efforts Nicole Mir mostly come off the bench to be the six man and he did a great job in that role scoring 14 points Off the Bench etan Moore would

Step up in his role averaging a career high 12 points per game and being a 40% three-point shooter and of course one of the few sigs they made in the offseason ran Rondo who plays fourth and assist per game getting nearly nine assists a game while some say this team

Overachieved after DeMarcus Cousins went down with injury I see a team who simply figured it out and went on a great run to barely make the playoffs overall though this team is very polarizing as the highest paac team in the NBA the third best scoring team but the second

Worst in opponent’s scoring per game but as the playoffs are about the start the New Orleans Pelicans beat their second ever opponent since the Rebrand the Portland CH Blazers experts believe that this three versus 6 series could end up in an upset considering the matchup in the paint with Anthony Davis facing off

Against youf nurkic and their small ball for Al Faruk aminu so it was up to him to take advantage of this matchup as much as he can game one started off hot with the Pelicans when ad would end up scoring 35 points and held off a fourth

Quarter comeback winning by only two at the end with an ending score of 95 to 97 but another key headline will be created after this first game as Damien lard will be locked up by Drew holiday shooting six of 23 from the field we’d also see the chemistry of AD and Rajan

Rondo who always seemed the rise in the playoffs getting 17 assists in this first game with only two turnovers game two would see another demolition of the Trailblazers this time with Drew holiday scoring a game high 33 points and again locking up Damen Lillard on the other

Side and with this 20 lead the Pelicans are trying to make sure the TR Blazers have no chance of bringing this series back home blowing them out in game three 119 to 102 seeing ad score 28 and the newly traded acquisition nicolea Mir just scoring 30 and finally in game four

Ad decides to end it all scoring a franchise record 47 points and with Drew holiday joining him alongside scoring 41 himself to end this series in a very anti-climactic sweep for some for the Blazers from all angles everyone did their job and the Pelicans made it to

The second round for the first time ever in ad’s Pelicans career but the Pelicans cannot celebrate for long because as they beat Damien Lillard and the Blazers they have the unfortunate honor of facing off against the two-seated Golden State Warriors the first team ad would ever face in the playoffs one of the

Most dominant teams in the 2010s and now equipped with Kevin Durant just to make things harder and as expected the Pelicans would struggle just like everybody else 101 to 123 in game one for the Warriors and a five-point win the next game 121 to 116 for the Warriors continuing the dominance

They’ve been this entire playoff run but ad would try to resist the sweep scoring 33 points in game three and seeing Rajan Rondo throw 21 assists while ALS also seeing Stephen Curry and Klay have one of their worst nights in this postseason but after a KD master class with him

Scoring 38 points a game four and the big three scoring 75 points together in game five the Golden State Warriors would end this amazing season unfortunately losing in five games however despite this loss you can see this season excused on many aspects Boogie cousins would be sideline immediately tanking the season up until

Nicoa miriti be traded for and the wall that is the Golden State Warriors was thought to be possible to climb over at this time but what is a positive is the fact that the Pelicans could simply run it back the next year ad is turning 25 next season DeMarcus Cousins who is

Looking to get paid could still come back next year and try again after an entire off season of healing and getting his surgery done and they still have miriti on contract for another season until he has to get paid and Drew holiday is locked in already for four

More years and you can keep around the current core that made this team a damn near 50- win team already so as they lose this year in theory there is optimism that the Pelicans can remain a threat for a long time as long as they play their cards right it might not be

Their time yet because of the Golden State Warriors and other great teams in the Western Conference but they have plenty of time to compete as long as they keep this team together but the Pelicans do have a lot of loose ends to tie up before we can truly believe

That like I mentioned at the end of last year’s section the Pelicans have a lot of lose ends to clear up to keep this team going long term the first two concerns being retaining Rajan Rondo and DeMarcus Cousins as they already accepted Nicole merick’s team option well first off the Pelicans couldn’t

Retain Rondo as he went to play for the Lakers and LeBron James on a one-year n million doll deal so off the bat the point guard has been taken away and quite the loss as he was one of the best Playmakers in the NBA and a huge reason

They did so well in the playoffs making ad’s life so much easier but that is someone who could potentially be replaced which is definitely crazy to say but the more important piece to some is DeMarcus Cousin but there’s also trouble on that side as Dell dams is

Playing hard ball with Demarcus due to his seasoning and the injury Del Demps was not willing to give him the matx deal he wanted which would have been a 5-year $177 million contract instead Dell Demps the season before offering him a 2-year $40 million contract due to his injury history which Boogie

Considered disrespectful and Dell Demps kept saying that is all you’re going to get for me and due to that and seeing how his value dropped around the league as it plummeted after entertaining other offers he ended up signing with the Warriors unfortunately for a one-year $5 million deal in retaliation to that

Disrespect around the league as he tried to get his value up by winning an easy championship at least it was thought to be with the Golden State Warriors and where does that leave the Pelicans back to where they were before the DeMarcus Cousins deal and that left the Pelicans

Front office scrambling to make something of this because considering they are New Orleans despite them having so much money on the table they’d have no one to use n major to help this Pelican Squad considering ad can now start his extension talks here this is terrible timing to have this issue so

The front office just tried to make the most of it possibly their biggest free agency pickup yet would be signed on July 8th 2018 and Julius Randall the seventh pick of the 2014 draft and after having his best year in La the Lakers still renounce his rights making him an

Unrestricted free agent why honestly I have no idea and I couldn’t find much of an answer but I guess LeBron signing in that summer had something to do with it but having a young growing big man who could provide toughness and offensive versatility on a cheap 2-year $18

Million deal you honestly cannot beat that they also add little Oka for to be a backup alred Payton and Ian and Clark but the main issue is can the Pelicans make it back to the playoffs and can the Pelicans get ad to stay on the team long

Term because as his last year of his contract comes next season ad literally has the power to leave for nothing next season and leave the Pelicans and complete disarray but a still has one more season to him before he makes any major decisions but by the time a good

Chunk of the season was complete the Pelicans would find themselves 17 and 21 at the start of the new year and by the end of the month the Pelicans would be headlined news on ESPN but not for any reason expected like a game winner from

Ad or a record being broken by ad nope in fact it’ll be included with ad however it’ll change the trajectory of their season and even their future the agent for Anthony Davis has informed the New Orleans Pelicans that he has no intention of signing an extension and as

A matter of fact has requested a trade after six seasons with the New Orleans Hornets and the New Orleans Pelicans Anthony Davis has officially had enough he sees the riding on the wall and sees that the Pelicans will not give him a chance to win a championship now or even

In the distant future so in an effort to do something as soon as possible he has requested a trade to be on a contender specifically and wants it done fast but better this man to just leave for nothing but again this shows the failure of the Pelicans and how they couldn’t

Bring any type of real contention talks ever since he’s been drafted here their attempts were made but never any Real Results coming from it even though ad has been at the top of his game for the last three or so season especially allowing pieces to leave that could have

Been used in an even bigger trade for an even bigger name so ad has finally had enough he doesn’t expect anything to change and wants to leave a move so bold that even the GM D Demps got fired for allowing it to happen in the first place

And got replaced by former NBA GM Danny Ferry and his job was to find that trade but with no good packages that satisfied both sides the trade deadline would pass and AD still stayed at Pelican but during this time we found the Pelicans benching ad as they try to find a trade

For him to make sure he keeps his value and to not be injured but that even angered the NBA and made fans of the Pelicans turn on ad at games sitting while fully healthy this was being done mainly because they owned their first round pick in this upcoming draft and

Wanted to tank as much as possible because you rather as well but the NBA was threatening fines for every game ad would miss so he had to continue playing after the All-Star break forcefully but he was UN a minutes restriction playing only at most 22 minutes a game and only

Playing 15 out of the 31 games after the All-Star break the drummer behind this was made even bigger than it needed to be but both sides had reasonings to what they were doing but the season would end with the Pelicans having a 33 and 49 record and the Pelicans would soon trade

Him to the Los Angeles Lakers in July where he had been playing ever since but in the 7-year timeline we would see how the Pelicans would try to make the most out of the years he was there but it was a very disappointing time in retrospect

When you own one of the best players in the 2010s and best centers of the modern era who was known to be that at day one and not surrounding him with Talent it was obvious that he’d want to leave eventually only the most craziest of players of all time like a Kevin Garnett

Who want to stay in a losing situation just because he loves the organiz ation itself but no ad had enough and he wanted to go to a real Contender but some of us can understand playing in one of the smallest NBA markets out there the possibility of anyone coming there

Was slim to none and then the front office not being more aggressive in their moves also didn’t help the DeMarcus Cousins move was possibly the best one made in this entire time but unfortunately the injury history he had decided to come back and bite him making

That season and a half with Boogie not worth it add that alongside only make the playoffs twice and never getting him a good running mate until the very very end it made sense why aded wanted to leave for an automatic Contender so he can stop wasting his time and stop

Wasting his youth which ended up being the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James where he’d win a championship that next year but at least it came in exchange of earning the first overall pick and getting Brandon Ingram which makes now the new era of pelicans basketball but

Even that is having his own issues so let’s hope the best for them in this new era but when it came back to ad in his time the management there fumbled and all time great a perennial DPI candidate and one of the most skillful big men in

NBA history that only lasted 7 years and with a very depressing ending now we can all hope for is that they don’t fumble Zion Williamson as we’ve seen him in the news many of times and Brandon Ingram in the same way with that being said thanks

For watching this video tell me who else you’d like to see me talk about having parts of their career wasted due to bad management and until next time

Anthony Davis one of the best NBA Players and Centers in the 2010s. However, before all of that, he was the top player of the 2012 NBA Draft Class and considered to have All Time Potential coming out of Kentucky and was trusted with the keys almost immediately to be the savior of the New Orleans Hornets/Pelicans. As we all know, he is currently enjoying his time in the LA Lights winning his first ever championship in his first year there and constantly competing for a championship every yea. But Anthony Davis was meant to be the Hero of New Orleans. However, for 7 Years of Anthony Davis potentially wasting his talent, only making the playoffs two times, watching his Front Office make little moves towards success until the 2nd half of his time there, and a lot, and I mean, A LOT of losing despite owning a All Time Talent. In this video I want to discuss all of the moves made during AD’s time in New Orleans and just see how the New Orleans Pelicans Failed Anthony Davis

  2. Man New Orleans really wasted AD's prime throughout the years. This was a certified masterpiece Alvini for sure! 💯🔥💪🏾

  3. What made it funny was that during that time the Pelicans had Anthony Davis from 2012 – 2019, the Bobcats/New Hornets had a better record than Old Hornets/Pelicans. As a division rival(Spurs fan), I would shake my head at how horrible the Pelicans front office is.

  4. What made it so crazy was that the Hornets/Pelicans, Lakers, and Rockets had a better proposed trade deal than the Clippers would give out to the Hornets/Pelicans for Chris Paul. They would have actually had a better roster for the future and a core around Anthony Davis to compete with if "basketball reasons" didn't happen.
