The Pelicans are one of the NBA's most fascinating teams this season. Obviously, then, we needed to bring in Mason Ginsberg (@MasonGinsberg) of ESPN TrueHoop Network's Bourbon Street Shots to discuss all things New Orleans. - - Mason breaks down the good and the bad of the Pelicans' start to the year; talks a little Nikola Mirotic and E'Twaun Moore shop; makes sense of AD's MVP case; kicks around some trade targets; and confronts the future in New Orleans with Davis' designated veteran extension looming this summer before he's scheduled to hit free agency in 2020. - - As always, please subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.
