There had been speculation that he would leave. I feel like the Pelicans take a backseat in priorities for Tom Benson (Behind the Saints), but he and Dell Demps need to get some players around him to reward his loyalty.
Pelicans actually have a lot of talent around Davis. They have just been killed by injuries the last two seasons,.
They didn't get anyone new in the draft because they had traded away their picks, but they are not losing any key players to free agency.
Hopefully their change of coaches will help them improve. I like Gentry. He is old school so maybe he will add some toughness to their defense. that was their biggest weakness last year. Plus gentry is showing up with a brand new World championship ring. So that should get some respect from the players.
