New Orleans Pelicans

Notable Additions: Solomon Hill, E’Twaune Moore, Langston Galloway 

Free Agency Grade: B

The New Orleans Pelicans didn’t make any earth-shattering moves in free agency, but they did add some quality projects in E’Twaune Moore and Langston Galloway. They also added some desperately needed insurance to their frontline in Solomon Hill.

All in all, even though the Pelicans didn’t make the big splash this summer, they did what they needed to. Though, I’m still concerned about their ability to surround Anthony Davis with the right talent. Considering that they lost Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson in free agency, they better hope Buddy Hield, whom they drafted, can come in and make an immediate impact.

Short of that, the Pelicans will likely be a borderline playoff team.
