You can't convince me otherwise. The hiring of him, his roster moves, his toughness talk, and his complete and total silence while the franchise implodes has to be intentional. From keeping Willie, to hiring Weaver, to the fricking worst draft pick trade possible, to trading for Poole and not trading Zion after it was widely reported that he was brought in to do that, I can't think of someone fricking up so much unintentionally. Even the fan experience is terrible at the games.

Until it is proven otherwise, I am 100% sure he was sent to us to remove all semblance of fan support so that the league would get no backlash when they move them.

Nice conspiracy theory, but the absolute truth is this franchise is so inept that Gayle and company hired Dumars simply because they knew him and he's a "Louisiana guy" without vetting him or anyone else for the job.

If you don’t think the league sees the current state of the fanbase and just in general the city as a whole, they do.

People thinking Gayle Benson with her “they’ll be in NOLA till I die”, like that lady gives a shite about anything but clout on the gala circuit

The NBA is taking active steps to move stars to big markets. Just this year you see Morant, Lamelo, and Giannas working their way out of small markets. Won’t even get into Nico and Luka. If you believe that sort of thing is wholly organic, lol.

And if any of you don’t think Silver hasn’t circled LV getting a team years ago you’re crazy

Id love to believe this but I think it was as simple as:

Gayle: "Griffin wanted me to fire Willie so I fired Griffin. Who do we know thats an NBA GM?"

Loomis, Lauscha, & the rest of the execs: "ummm...... Joe Dumars?" shrugs shoulders

Dumars had a great draft as far as talent now the trade was dumb Let’s see what he does in getitng rid of Zion. Griffen made so many mistake in the draft and trades and this current situation is mostly his fault. Gayle needs to sell both teams to Todd Graves she has no idea what she is doing

which is why she will never sell the Pelicans... her having 2 sports franchises gives her the "most powerful woman in sports" title... selling them takes that power away...

so while, in reality, she really doesn't give a shite about the Pelicans or the product they put on the floor, she is also not going to give up the power that comes along with owning the franchise... it's a no win situation, so the best you can do is just not give a frick anymore until she either dies or is forced to sell the franchise... they'd have to start costing the other owners money before that happens though
