Market size being an issue is an exageration of a problem and New Orleans isn't Cleveland as far as appeal of the city goes. Bomani Jones has been saying this all week and he's right that market size doesn't matter as much as people think it does. Competence is the biggest factor which is why San Antonio and OKC are able to get quality free agents to sign and stay there and the Knicks/Bulls/Suns/Hawks/Wizards and others can't.

Pelicans couldn't get people to go there because they have been a poorly run franchise. I think they're much better off getting draft picks and young players and rebuilding from square one and being smart with cap space. They aren't good as is with AD so why would they think that taking back a max contract for a guy that isn't close to AD helps them moving forward? Go for youth and go for cheaper contracts and try to rebuild. Quality free agents will sign there if they trust the front office will build a winner and that the organization will be run at a high level.
