Is this finally the year the Pelicans avoid the rash of injuries that always doom them?
Our next offseason team focus podcast dives into Anthony Davis’ crew as they look to rebound from a very disappointing 2015-16 season.

After a brief break, our offseason team-by-team reviews continue with Anthony Davis’ New Orleans Pelicans. Oleh Kosel and Kevin Barrios, two contributors to the hilariously named SB Nation Pelicans site The Bird Writes, join me to run through New Orleans’ offseason, digest what went wrong last year and wonder if a bounce back is in store. Among the topics discussed:
- Why didn’t Anthony Davis take the massive leap we expected he would last year? Is Alvin Gentry’s new system to blame?
- The Pelicans paid a lot of money collectively to Solomon Hill, E’Twaun Moore and Langston Galloway, but can they change the team’s culture into one that’s more defensive minded?
- Will Buddy Hield live up to his draft selection?
- What’s going on with Tyreke Evans? Could he actually miss much more than the beginning of the season?
- Can Pelicans fans expect their players to actually stay healthy this year?
Next up: the Denver Nuggets.
