Jake, Willie is a wonderful human being…the best. But he is following in the footsteps of 5 yr New Orleans head coaches Byron Scott, Monty Williams & Alvin Gentry, all with losing records after 5 years. The talent was always there, but the coaching sucked. Willie has a winning record +8 after 3 seasons, and has had some devastating injuries to key players. But this was the year he was supposed to do big things. It’s not about being swept by OKC minus Z. It’s about blowing 18-20 double digit leads in the 4th quarter and totally falling apart in the last 5 minutes of at least a dozen games we should have won!! In most of these games Zion played. What makes anyone believe anything will be different with different players or assistant coaches? After the first 6-7 losses in crunch time when it looked like no one on the court knew what we were doing, you would think he would have made major adjustments to eliminate the no ball movement, no set plays and general chaos that was happening over & over & over again. But No! The Calvary never showed up! In two weeks we went from being in 5th place, to 6th, to 7th & eventually 8th. I don’t believe we could have beaten OKC in that series with aperfectly healthy BI AND Zion!! It won’t change! It’s time for Willie to go. Do not keep him for two more years like we did with the other 3 five year head coaches, and look back and kick ourselves! The Brutal West will only get stronger next year. We need a coach who can navigate through this mine field the next few years while Zion is still here. If we don’t get the kind of coach that can win now, Zion will go the way of Chris Paul, AD, Jrue Holiday and several others who played at ALL STAR LEVELS for other teams for years!!
100% agree Zion is the biggest part of this team literally EVERYTHING rides or dies with him - They need to surround him with shooters that can defend and if Zion can stay healthy he'll get them past the 1st round next year.
Not sure why some want BI gone. He was not 100% in the playoff this year after being "the guy" the last two years without Zion. I am more willing to part with CJ. He is a streaking shooter and a defensive liability. I am willing to give Harkins a shot at CJ's spot. Also, don't think Trey is ready. Another streaky 3 point shooter who needs better judgement in his shot selection ( not so many 30 - 40 footers). Also need to development a pull up in the lane and learn he can't dunk on everyone.
Pelicans had some of their best offensive games this season whether it be made three or total points. Didn’t see any of that the season before and I never expect someone (player or staff) to come in and turn a team around in one season in some area
Good point Jake, they sure did park Z in the corner a lot!!!!!! That is foolishness. Z is your number 1 option and if they don't commit to that in crunch time is not smart
Lot of talent, but beyond that. Josh brings passoin with him at all times. Pelicans failed this year because winning was not a big enough deal to several key players.
I have always thought Trajan was great, I was thrilled when he was hired. Just to pose the question would the Pelicans ever consider letting Griff go to promote Trajan and make him the main man? No idea if that’s tenable or a good idea at all, and I do like Graham. Just curious and wanted to see others opinions.
Trade Ingram for top 20pick + starting point guard, use picks 21 and the top 20 to draft edey and daron Holmes, let Jonas walk. Freed up cap space to pickup a free agent. - Ingram and jonas + edey, Holmes true pg and free agent wing
The pg could be someone like Russ or tyus jones, edey and Holmes gives you all aspects of centre, rim protection, Holmes shooting etc Russ cj herb Zion edey Jose Dyson hawkins (free agent) trey Larry daron Holmes
Facts. Sit your toes at 3 point line and catch and shoot. We literally got two people that can create for others. Bi and zion. And nobody that can create for them. BUT blame bi
Fans just don’t get it!! This is the first time Willie had his players for majority of the year and had the third best record in franchise history and all we talk about is furring the coach and trading the second best player!! This is what bad organizations do. You should continue to build around your core players and let Willie continue to develop. Great organization don’t fire coaches every 2 to 3 years! If they listen to you unreasonable fans, they will continue to be a bad organization and have a revolving door!!!
100%. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to retain the core. I vote to just change the C and keep the STARTING core of Trey BI Herb Zion. If we make a big trade involving BI, we're more than likely going to be worse next year, comparatively in the West. Maybe we'll get lucky with a agile C draft pick. Then we can focus on building out the bench.

Well saud.. couldn't agree more
You need your own show. Well said brother.
Because of willie green Putting Defense a players in when you have shooters on your bench
Borrego needs complete freedom with this offense
“Jackson Hayes was bad” 😂
100% agree Zion is the biggest part of this team literally EVERYTHING rides or dies with him -
They need to surround him with shooters that can defend and if Zion can stay healthy he'll get them past the 1st round next year.
Keep J.B. make him the head coach.
Zach Edey 💥 Let's go Pelicans 🏀⚜️🏆

That is foolishness.
Z is your number 1 option and if they don't commit to that in crunch time is not smart
Fire Willie green
We need Josh Hart back
Lot of talent, but beyond that. Josh brings passoin with him at all times. Pelicans failed this year because winning was not a big enough deal to several key players.
fire play in willie im tired of this man
Need an identity, especially during crunch time.
Who's the guy?
Z?
Bi?
Cj?
Trey?
Gotta have the #1 guy and commit to it
I have always thought Trajan was great, I was thrilled when he was hired. Just to pose the question would the Pelicans ever consider letting Griff go to promote Trajan and make him the main man?

Hi Jake
It was Willie Green not let's him put out
Office of players when he need to
wasnttrjan langdon in coversations with the pistons like 3 years ago
I would look at a trade with Portland too at #4. BI, and #17 for Robert Williams and Malcolm B. and #4 . Draft Dillingham
I thought they were at 4. I see them at 7. Don’t know who would be there at 7 that Pels would like
Fuck no
Would like to hear some names of potential Borrego replacements. I’ve heard some but not gonna pretend I know much about them
Get a new coach
Rondo as hc
"Give them credit"
Mr. ErryDat'rr 👈🏾 Thanks Jake! Who will become Mr. Relevant? #10k
先解決B.I的問題。一個人修行的方向如果是精神力大過寂光，他很容易走到冥王路線，他的精神力支撐不住的時候就會用毀滅重建希望。寂光大過精神力就容易走向聖賢。他最理想的選擇是去馬刺...冥王那條路很容易招來妖魔鬼怪，那些阿飄最恨冥王有原因的...
Trajan can go I think he will cause he's not in charge. Next GM anyone from OKC or Denver
10k🎉
U can get all the coaches u want we Zion need help CJ need to go stop blaming Willie we need real help and that’s player

Borrego's offense sucked for one simple reason. No off ball movement. It sucks. Goodbye!
Facts. Sit your toes at 3 point line and catch and shoot. We literally got two people that can create for others. Bi and zion. And nobody that can create for them. BUT blame bi
Lol went from top 22 on offense to top 10. No ball movement? Playoffs was more on Willie !!
Jake love the show but you OTBSing. Let’s be honest BI and Z played the most games they’ve ever played. WG is the problem
Every dayer!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭
Get rid of Griffin Hire Trajon
We need Russel Westbrook he cheap and Jaxson Hayes back
Get rid of Griffin
Losing Trajan isn’t a big loss, where the fuck is that guy, barely seen him this season. What do he do, I’m sure griff is the real gm
Every dayer
Just fire Willie Green, his style of coaching is negative.
Fans just don’t get it!!
