The Pelicans are called the New Orleans Pelicans. They are a NBA team in New Orleans, San Louisiana. 
The Pelicans are a relatively young team in the NBA team. In 1988, the Charlotte Hornets and the Miami Heat joined the NBA League. The Charlotte Hornets mentioned here are not the same team as the current Charlotte Hornets in the NBA. The current Hornets in the league are renamed from Charlotte Bobcats in May 2014, Charlotte Bobcats joined the NBA League in 2004, and its addition makes the number of NBA league teams 30.
Back to the Pelicans, 14 years after joining the NBA, because the team moved from Charlotte to New Orleans , the team changed its name to the New Orleans Hornets. This is They changed the team name for the first time, and the second time was when the new owner in 13 years decided to change the team name.
Since the Pelicans joined the NBA for more than 30 years, they have not achieved any good results. What's more interesting is that the relocation in 2002 changed them from an Eastern team to a Western team.
Although the team has never achieved a good result, they are still more discerning in the draft (poor record, more chances of owning a lottery), they were in 2005 Selected Chris Paul, unfortunately the team’s location, New Orleans was hit by a hurricane, the arena was damaged, and the population of New Orleans dropped from the highest of 780,000 to only about 380,000.
After Paul joined, the Pelicans' record has improved.Although it failed to reach the playoffs in the first season, the team management saw hope. In Paul’s second season, the management recruited helpers for him. They thought they could make the playoffs, but Paul was halfway through. Injured, the team only achieved a record of 39 wins and 43 losses, once again missed the playoffs.
Since then, the Pelicans have reached the playoffs twice, once they were overturned by the Spurs in the second round, and once they were out of the first round. In 2011, Paul was traded to the Clippers and the team entered the rebuilding period.
In 2013, the Pelicans selected and Anthony Davis with the No. 1 pick. Under his leadership, the team entered the playoffs many times, but with injuries from time to time. It has always plagued this team and the Warriors have risen. The Pelicans have encountered championships in the playoffs many times, and their fate can be imagined.
In 2019, Anthony Davis asked for a trade to, and wanted to pursue the championship. The Pelicans had no choice but to release them. In the same year, the Pelicans won the No. 1 pick again and signed Zion. · Williams.
Now this young team with Zion, , Ingram and other players at the core will make an impact on the playoffs in the new season. I hope they can play in the Wild West. Go further.
