I saw that TBW piece. They've trended more towards the Green Triangle this year, which is a welcome sign. I don't think they are Philistines. I have no doubt they are doing what they believe is best. And I have no doubt they know more than I do.

It's not that they have to be Morey. There's no one answer to winning basketball or one true path that statistics dictate every one must follow.

Really, I just want to see a plan, a Pelicans Way. The Sixers are cultish with their devotion to data, the Bulls have been wildly successful using "grit" to find capable players from the lower rungs of the draft. Whatever it is, define your vision for basketball success. Then exhaust every avenue possible to achieve that success.

Maybe I'm missing it but, from my cheap seat, I haven't seen that vision in 4+ years. That, to me, is a problem.

I think one issue is they've been guessing at what AD was going to be. AD's ascension this year certainly clarifies the picture a good bit, so hopefully we'll see a clearer vision going forward. Unfortunately, now that you have a clear picture of AD, you lack flexibility to make moves, especially if Holiday's injury is serious long term.
