LINK i was going to quote a few relevant passages, but the whole thing is relevant. this is a complete and detailed timeline of what led to this disaster, and not for the faint of heart

It’s time to begin the process of cleaning up your cap sheet and resetting the franchise fully. The Pelicans tried. They really did. They traded away All-Stars, got nice returns, but didn’t make it work. When they’ve tried to add talent, it’s gone even worse. But it all orbits around Williamson and the fact that he never got there as a top-tier, doesn’t-matter-who-else-you-have, superstar. Build around the value deals of Murphy and Jones, and the young group of Fears, Queen and Missi. Heck, start those five together and see what you have. You’re going to be bad and pick-less anyway, might as well be bad and pick-less with a point to it. Give the fans a reason to buy into your young talent. They’ll come if they have a reason to believe again. Starting over isn’t just what the Pelicans need to do for basketball reasons. It’s what’s necessary to save NBA basketball in New Orleans.

It’s refreshing to see the media finally point out that the issues with the Pelicans are existential.
It’s one thing to be bad in a small market. It’s another to be completely hopeless and horribly run.

That’s a good summation of where we are right now and where we need to be heading
My issue is that I don’t want the same people who got us here to make any decisions moving forward, but we know they won’t be fired because we have an apathetic (at best) owner.
You can almost feel the panic move coming.

I have no faith that anyone in the building, on the court, or involved in any capacity has the ability to turn us into an average team. I have complete apathy towards this franchise. I have not watched a game this year and I don't plan on it. I can't believe that this team was going blow-for-blow with the CP3 Suns less than 3 years ago. I hate Gayle Benson for what she has allowed this franchise to become.

The NHL is looking better and better.
As long as it's a totally new ownership with investors with hockey/NHL ties and backgrounds.
