Pelicans Yearly History

The New Orleans Pelicans have been a solid team for years but have had little playoff success. The team has traded away star players and floated around the .500 mark for years with some years falling below this mark and few going above. The team has struggled to make playoff runs and lacks the star players capable of taking them to the next level. In the 2023-24 season, the Pelicans finished with a record of 49-33, 7th in the West. This was a decent result for the squad as their 11th-ranked offense and 7th-ranked defense carried them to a playoff spot. The team saw improved performances from key players and saw the return of their best player from injury. With this momentum, the team headed into the playoffs.

In the first round, the Pelicans faced the number-one seed Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder were a strong young team and were projected to dominate the less-skilled Pelican roster. This would end up true as the Thunder would sweep the Pelicans in four games. This result was disappointing yet expected as Pelicans fans knew their roster stood little chance against the star-studded Thunder. 

In the regular season, the Pelicans saw multiple players stand out as leading scorers. Top performances came from Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingra,m and CJ McCollum. Williamson entered the NBA as one of the best prospects in recent years. Despite his hyp,e he struggled with injuries and made little impact. In the 2023-24 season, he played the full year and posted a team-leading 22.9 points per game. Still only 23 years old, Williamson will likely only improve in upcoming years. Ingram came in second in scoring with 20.8 points per game and has made a big impact on the squad since he was traded from the Lakers. CJ McCollum is an aging veteran who was still able to make an impact at 32 years old scoring 20 points per game. The Pelicans still teeter on the edge of being mediocre and will need to see young players make a large jump or make changes to see their squad break into deep playoff runs. 

In 2022-23, the team finished the season with a 42-40 record. They missed the playoffs by one game. CJ McCollum scored 1568 points, had 429 assists, and 328 rebounds. Trey Murphy III had 112 assists, 89 steals, and 1148 points. Jonas Valanciunas scored 1115 points and 804 rebounds. 

The 2021-22 New Orleans Pelicans finished the regular season with a final record of 36-46 and that put them in ninth place in the Western Conference. They made it to the Play-In tournament and started the NBA playoffs against the Golden State Warriors. Coach Willy Green's first season as head coach brought a few more wins to the team when compared to 2020 and 2019. The last time the Pelicans had a winning record was during the 2017-18 season.

In the 2022 draft, the Pelicans' first pick was in round one, spot #8. They chose Dyson Daniels who comes out of the NBA G League. In the second round, the Pelicans picked E.J. Liddell out of Ohio State. 

Pelicans History 2010-2019

The New Orleans Pelicans finished 2018-2019 33-49, tied for the second-worst record in the Western Conference with two other teams. That’s about all that can be said about last season for the Pelicans. Everything that happened to this franchise happened after the season was over. Star forward Anthony Davis demanded a trade, and got one, getting sent to the Lakers for point guard Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and Josh Hart, plus three first-round draft choices. Thanks to the lottery, the Pelicans owned the first overall selection as well. So lots of ammo for the franchise to find their way out of the basement with.

They started by selecting Duke power forward Zion Williamson number one overall. Thanks to another pre-draft trade, New Orleans ended up with the eighth and 17th selections overall as well. At number eight overall they selected center Jaxson Hayes from Texas. At 17 overall they ended up with shooting guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker from Virginia Tech. In free agency, New Orleans added sharpshooter shooting guard J.J. Reddick and power forward Nicolo Melli.

So far this season, Brandon Ingram is leading the way with 24.9 points per game. Right behind him is shooting guard Jrue Holiday at 19.6 points per game. This will be a long process for this franchise, but hopefully, they are finally on the right track.

2017-2018 was another year of “frustration” for Pelicans fans if you want to call it frustration. Yes, they finished with enough wins to barely make the NBA playoffs. In round one, they shocked the NBA world by upsetting the third-seeded Portland Trailblazers in a sweep. That came before losing in round two to the Golden State Warriors. Pelicans fans feel that their frustration has more to do with the fact that New Orleans has the best big man in the game. That would be a power forward Anthony Davis, who has very little to show, for his time in the Big Easy. So what did they do to try to correct their early playoff departure this offseason?

Yes, they made the big trade midseason last year for center DeMarcus Cousins but he suffered a season-ending injury soon after the trade, and for the short time he was in uniform for the team, the duo of Cousins and Davis did not mesh well. Due to the Cousins trade, the Pelicans did not have a first-round draft choice, so they ended up having to do their work through free agency, of which, they did very little. They signed forward Julius Randle for two years and re-signed guard Ian Clark for one year.

In the past, DeMarcus Cousins has been quite vocal about his frustration with the organization. A lot of fans may not like it, but the NBA has become all about stars teaming up to form “Super Teams.” The Pelicans tried to start that effort last year with the Cousins trade, but that blew up in their face. One must wonder now if the Pelicans have given up, and are waiting for a team to offer a blockbuster deal for their disgruntled star.
