NBA: What All 30 Teams Should Be Thankful For In 2015-16

20 of 31

New Orleans Pelicans

What They’re Thankful For: Anthony Davis not testing free agency 

The fact that Anthony Davis showed loyalty to this franchise, even though the franchise hasn’t proven anything to AD is amazing. Davis could’ve held out and put pressure on the front office to make some appealing moves this past offseason, but nope.

Instead, Davis was the first player to re-sign. He got his big contract and re-upped with the Pelicans for the next five years (at least). That’s putting an awful lot of faith in a franchise that hasn’t accomplished much.
