[Clark] "The Pelicans made a push for Dejounte Murray before the trade deadline. They land him now. Lead guard with size who can take some of the creation load off of Zion. New Orleans liked his contract a lot. Owed $25 M, $27 M, $29 M next 3 years."

I'm not saying the Pels are gonna be a bad team but tbh without seeing the what they get back for Ingram I'm not totally sure they're really "The West is Hell" material just because they land Dejounte lol

I'd be kinda surprised if the Pels are seriously ready to start making noise in the later rounds of the playoffs. West or not.

I think they need Zion to be healthy. Feels like they’ve been one of the top teams in the west when that happens
