The New Orleans Pelicans were established as the New Orleans Hornets in 2002 after relocating from Charlotte. After the franchise was rebranded as the Pelicans following the 2012-13 season, the Hornets name, history, and records were returned to the Charlotte Bobcats franchise. Despite the presence of stars such as Chris Paul, Baron Davis, David West, Anthony Davis, and now, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, the Pelicans have had only sporadic success in New Orleans, having twice advanced to the Western Conference semifinals (in 2007-08 and 2017-18).
