I think any other star in the NBA would have struggled to win with the teams the Pelicans were putting out there on an annual basis, especially considering they were in the West. I mean, look at the starting guards/wings he's had in his tenure there:

2013: Grievis Vasquez, Eric Gordon, Al-Farouq Aminu (before Aminu had learned how to shoot)
2014: Jrue Holiday, Gordon, Aminu
2015: Tyreke Evans (before Evans learned how to shoot), Gordon, Quincy Pondexter
2016: Evans, Gordon, Alonzo Gee
2017: Holiday, Buddy Hield, Solomon Hill
2018: Rondo, Holiday, E'twaun Moore
2019: Holiday, Moore, Wes Johnson

There's at least like 3 starters in there that would probably be getting DNPs for most teams and with the exception of Holiday, I don't think any of those guys would be considered good starters. You could make a case for Eric Gordon based on raw numbers, but when he was with New Orleans, he was an inefficient chucker that didn't play any defense.

The Pelicans royally screwed up at every single turn after they drafted Davis.

On a side note, take it with a very very major grain of salt because he isn't the most reliable source, but IncarceratedBob is saying that all of the players in the league (including Enes Kanter who apparently hinted at it in an interview recently) knows already that Kevin Durant is planning on signing with the Knicks.
