New Orleans Pelicans, health is the key to dreaming

They have been chasing the dream of being a competitive team for too long, but injuries, inconsistency from their stars, and lack of clarity in the project have dashed their hopes. The New Orleans Pelicans faces a new season with fewer guarantees, but also knowing that if their key players stay healthy, they can be a team contending for relevant things in the Eastern Conference.

There is a noticeable power vacuum in the Eastern Conference, which multiplies the possibilities for franchises to compete that may not be at their best moment, but aspire to create a competitive culture and identity. Once again, the New Orleans Pelicans will cling to the hope that Zion Williamson finds the desired continuity, avoids injuries, and becomes the dominant player everyone dreams of. The signing of Jordan Poole adds some spice to a team that will miss Dejounte Murray in the early months of the season.

Only exponential growth from Missi, Herb Jones, and Trey Murphy III could generate an ecosystem where the New Orleans Pelicans could see itself in the top end of the table and decide to make a competitive push. Freeing themselves from Ingram and McCollum provides room to make interesting moves, something that will be necessary as the second unit falters somewhat, with Alvarado, Bey, Looney, Fears, and Hawkins as the main substitutes.
