An Early Preseason Look
We’ve seen an offseason, a little camp, some drama, and sort of saw a game waaay up North. Davis is just as killer as we thought, and maybe more now that he’s going to be “fixed.” The shoulder thing was an issue for a while, and he carried other stuff. Nice to see him get […]

Pelicans Sign Quinn Cook to Training Camp Roster
ESPN staff writer and apparent dinosaur enthusiast, Justin Verrier, tweeted today that the Pelicans have signed former Duke standout Quinn Cook to their training camp roster. The 6-2 combo guard was a co-captain on the 2014-15 Duke National Championship team, which included future first round draft picks Tyus Jones, Jahlil Okafor and Justise Winslow. Before his […]

Predicting the Pelicans Opening Night Rotation
And it’s time for our annual prediction of the rotations the Pelicans will put out on the floor on opening night. As usual, the team is already dealing with some uncertainty about the personnel it will have available. Also, as usual, I’m not just going to assign minutes to players – because that’s kinda dumb. Instead, […]

Graham and I talk about Jrue Holiday, the partially guaranteed Lance Stephenson, who we would like to see make it through camp, and then we tear into the Northwest Division – or, like I like to call it, My division of hate. A surprising number of my most disliked teams reside in this division. Graham […]

All-Star Logo Unveiled
The NBA has unveiled the All-Star game logo for the 217 game recently relocated to New Orleans. And it looks pretty excellent. All-Star weekend should be a pretty fun one in New Orleans this year, but Pelicans’ fans could have a lot to look forward to in terms of on court events. While it’s early to […]

With Free Agency Looming Next Summer, Jrue Holiday Switches Agents
During a point in the off-season when there is very limited news, a bit of interesting information came out yesterday about starting Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday. According to Liz Mullen of Sports Business Daily, Jrue is switching agents and will now be represented by Jason Glushon, the same agent who represents his brother, Justin. Mullen also noted that Glushon […]

New Orleans to Host 2017 NBA All-Star Game
Game on! The NBA officially announced today that New Orleans will be hosting the 2017 All-Star Game. While previously scheduled for Charlotte, the NBA decided to relocate the game in response to a state law that limits anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay and transgender people.

New Orleans Pelicans Pledge Flood Relief Support
We mainly talk about basketball here on Bourbon Street Shots, but sometimes things are much bigger than free agents, the rotation, or the future of the franchise. The flooding in Louisiana is one of those. Many, many people have said things far more eloquently than what we’re capable of here, but we want you all […]

Versatility
I know many of you all hoped my silence had predictive value. It’s my pleasure to disappoint . . . I’m happy with the offseason. There were flashier moves out there, but I don’t much care about that. The moves available to other teams were not available to the Pelicans, and that’s a fact that […]
