Yes, Pelicans got 15 years of contention for one disgruntled, often injured big man in an era where runners and shooters are far more valuable than trees. Just look at how quickly the Warriors fell apart after losing their two great shooting fast guys, while never missing Cousins during his injuries at all.
IMO, with old LeBron and relatively immobile Davis, the Lakers just got a lot slower in a game that is speeding up.
Pelicans are adding three players - Zion Williamson, Lonzo Ball, and Brandon Ingram that can't shoot. Now all of a sudden they are guaranteed to contend for 15 years?
All of a sudden you and Lavar Ball are on the same wavelength now?
You keep preaching teams need shooters to win. The Raptors were not a shooting team. The Hornets will not be a shooting team.
