NO Pelicans v HOU Rockets' Preview with Ben Dubose/Kelly Iko Oct 16, 2018

Show notes

It's opening night! The New Orleans Pelicans head to the Toyota Center to face off with the best regular season team of 2017-18. The Rockets remain top-heavy with Chris Paul, James Harden, Clint Capela and Eric Gordon, but rearmed themselves with Michael Carter Williams, Carmelo Anthony and high-ceiling low-basement Marquese Chriss. Nene, James Ennis and Gerald Green will get some run against a Pelicans team desperate to succeed in 2018-19 for a dozen reasons, chiefly among them being the right to retain Anthony Davis.

The Pelicans sign Clippers' guard Tyrone Wallace and Darius Morris Sep 05, 2018

Show notes

The New Orleans Pelicans came to terms with Los Angeles Clippers' point guard Tyrone Wallace yesterday. Wallace at 6'5 gives compelling size and defensive versatility to a roster that seems all but set heading into training camp. The Clippers have 48 hours to match the deal, but seem unlikely to do so given their financial circumstance and glut of guaranteed contracts. The Pelicans also came to terms with journeyman Darius Morris, the former 41st overall pick from the 2011 draft out of Michigan. Morris is not expected to make the roster, but could possibly fight for a two way contract along with Troy Williams, Kenrich Williams, and Garlon Green.
