A nice pickup for the Pelicans.
I think they could actually start Allen at SF in today's undersized NBA. With a lineup of Rondo, Holiday, Allen, Davis and Cousins that's actually a pretty strong starting 5. Should be really tough defensively.
I wouldn't be too concerned about the offensive side. With Holiday, Davis and Cousins all out there on the floor, hey really wouldn't need a whole lot of offense from Rondo or Allen.
That is assuming Allen can still play. I haven't seen him play in years, so not sure how much he still has in the tank to be honest.
Pelicans are running out of excuses though this year. They don't have an elite team, but they have a pretty solid group of guys around AD and DMC. If they can't AT LEAST make the playoffs this year, that might be serious alarm bells for Davis and Cousins. People are quick to point fingers at Cousins for his lack of wins in Sacramento, but the Pelicans have been similarly woeful since Davis arrived there too which many people seem to give him a free pass on.
