To me, losing to the Knicks is an embarrassment and should serve as a big wake up call. I can't say what the issues are down in New Orleans, but I think they are squandering on the likes of Anthony Davis and the rest of the guys on the team and simply taking them for granted. This team is playing in the Southwest Division where four out of five teams are competing for playoff spots in the challenging Western Conference. In the last several weeks, the Rockets, Mavericks, and Grizzlies have made crucial moves to get better as these teams know what predicaments and obstacles lies ahead. Although the Pelicans did make a move to get Quincy Pondexter and traded away Austin Rivers and get back a pick. These minor moves are not enough. To compete in a fierce conference like this, teams will have to make the necessary adjustments to get better and to secure the future of the team. If the Pelicans GM have any sense to recognize these issues, they would be wise to take heed.
