I would say the Pelicans are more talented than Phoenix without really having to really think about it.
 
If you look at eight or nine man rotations of Bledsoe, Dragic, Tucker, Morris, Len, Thomas, Green, Morris, Wright for Phoenix or Holiday, Gordon, Cunningham, Davis, Asik, Evans, Anderson, Pondexter, and Ajinca, how many people take that Phoenix group over New Orleans?  When you factor in that Anthony Davis is easily on another pedestal than any of those other guys listed?
 
And OKC I'd say yes too, but that team isn't right.  Even with KD and Westbrook, especially offensively.  They're stagnant, sloppy, and even with both KD and Russ on the floor we really haven't seen an improvement offensively.  Last month, even with KD, OKC was comparable to Minnesota offensively.  Minnesota.  I don't care how talented you are if your team isn't meshing.

You're delusional if you think the Pelicans' complementary players aren't towards the bottom of the list. The Pelicans have the better player but the Suns are more well rounded, deeper, and are playing really good basketball right now.
 
If you want to look at your list: Pondexter gets no minutes on Phoenix, Ajinca gets no minutes on Phoenix, Cunningham might not get minutes on Phoenix, neither Holiday nor Gordon starts on Phoenix, etc.
 
As for OKC, they're ONLY in this position because of injuries. Don't compare the two teams when healthy because it's not even close and you're biased as fuck if you don't know that to be true. With Durant and Westbrook I think they're 14-8 or something like that which would be approximately 31-17 over a 48 game sample. As long as those two stay healthy, they're making the playoffs.

Pistons had a lineup of:
Lucas III-Meeks-Butler-Tolliver-Anthony

All black and bald lol. Made it quite difficult to tell the difference.

New Orleans' main problem is in your profile picture, while the Suns are very, very well coached. Hornacek has more than maximized that roster for almost two seasons, now.
