But the truth of the matter — one that I deemed unfair in the wake of the move - is that Pelicans ownership and management simply wasn't comfortable with the idea of giving Williams an extension as he entered the final year of his deal. This wasn't about a power struggle with general manager Dell Demps or a lack of communication (both of which I'm told didn't exist), but more the fact that the internal desire for new leadership and a new era far outweighed the idea of making Williams the guy for the long-haul
quote:
The public pressure was clearly a factor here, and it reached yet another level when Williams made an honest and uncomfortableadmission to Yahoo! Sports' Marc Spears:because of the way he'd been treated at the Smoothie King Center, he told his wife and five children to stop attending games so that they didn't have to experience all the negativity. It should be noted, though, that the fan voice would likely have fallen on deaf ears in the ownership and management ranks if the decision makers didn't hear some truth in these consistent complaints.
quote:
Whether that's Brooks (early rumblings of significant interest here), Chicago's Tom Thibodeau (who is expected to part ways with the Bulls), or someone else, the new coach will be on board mostly because the Pelicans — like the Thunder before them — had concerns about sticking with the status quo.

To wit: The local newspaper, the Times-Picayune, did not send any reporters on the road after the All-Star break, even with the Pelicans in the midst of a playoff race.
