I just dont see how you can watch this team make the moves they've made and NOT think that they are, at the very least, doing the barest of minimums to keep the league from stripping the team from them

I still chuckle at some of the posters on here that were arguing this was a playoff team in the offseason.

Perhaps he was talking about the movie? Going into deep waters and not coming out anytime soon.

It’s okay

Pels can get the #1 pick, right?

Right?

I agree. They are acting like an organization that wants to move

I just don't care...

while Queen has looked good, we won't have any assets to build around him. Zion has no value and can't work on the floor with Queen. Herb wants out and probably has less value than we'd like. We are paying Poole tons of money to be our tank commander when we have no reason to tank.

Who are they trying to convince? This franchise is a joke and has been since it moved from Charlotte in 2002. I'm certain no one would really care if/when they move. They're not serious about winning basketball games. ( the owners and management), not the players I do not blame them, well, most of them. I do believe they try but they are put in a situation to fail every year.

There is just nothing to be excited about right now. They seem content with the status quo and are just going to ride it out to the end of the year. Nobody is standing out or doing anything special. The rookies need time and are being put in a horrible situation.

I have said for years that the team needs to be sold. That doesn't mean it has to be moved. There are many owners that live in different states than their teams. We need a change in top leadership. That will filter down. Until that happens, there just isn't much to talk about..

I’m coming around to this idea as well. Destroy and semblance of hope left in the fanbase so there’s no uproar when the team eventually moves.

They may want to move the team, but this isn't by design. It's pure incompetence.

Look at this article. A couple of weeks old but still stands out. Employees don’t even know what is going on

https://intheno.substack.com/p/pelicans-confirm-jordan-dumars-as

quote:

According to team sources, Jordan Dumars is a recent but constant presence, accompanying the team on its plane, attending practices, and being in meetings. Officials from rival teams have also noted his conspicuous presence within the Pelicans’ traveling party on the road. Sources describe Joe Dumars, Troy Weaver, and Jordan Dumars as being “attached at the hip,” forming an insular leadership circle that operates separately from the rest of the basketball operations staff. This isolation, they say, has fostered a culture with no clear, established lines of communication from management downward, leaving many employees in the dark about the team’s direction and decision-making processes.


quote:

Benson has publicly stated her philosophy, telling The Times-Picayune, “I hired Joe Dumars... When he makes a decision, that’s up to him. That’s why I hired him. I trust Joe... I’ve left that in his hands.” This has effectively granted him almost total authority over the franchise, provided he stay within financial limits. In this structure, Joe Dumars operates with the autonomy of a de facto owner, while Senior Vice President, Troy Weaver, handles the day-to-day responsibilities of the general manager role. The regular presence of Jordan Dumars, however, introduces a third, undefined element into this leadership dynamic.

Why would they need to do stupid shite to move the team???

The lease ends in 2029. All Gayle has to do is play hardball with the state on a new arena and then sell/move the team in 2029.

If you kill the fanbase it gives them a reason to move/sell the team . Possibly earlier than the lease expires. New city owner would agree to buy it out remaining contract. League can also seize it. Just ask George Shinn.
