The NFL is just different from the NBA. It has extreme parity and the Saints are a proven winner. They are rewarded by constantly investing in the Saints. The Pelicans are a totally different situation. The Bensons got a sweetheart deal and took advantage. Now they are bidding their time to flip the team to someone else. Every team is the league will have the same type of money to work with, if not more. To expect the Pelicans to start outspending major market teams seems unrealistic..

I don't expect that, but what major market teams will be looking for a GM?

There was a lot of turnover last year including major markets with the Lakers and Knicks. Indy, Cleveland, Atlanta, Milwaukee all had shake ups at the top and most promoted from within. I just don't see many teams that will be looking for a GM except maybe perennial dumpster fires like Sacramento. Maybe the Clippers blow it up or Riley retires, but outside of that I just don't see a ton of competition for GMs in the offseason.

The Saints were a garbage team prior to the current managment/coaching structure being put in place.

I know this to be false. The Bensons are keeping the Pelicans in New Orleans.

Every team in the league will not be looking for a new GM. While Zarren is a premier candidate, he doesn't have the track record to demand top GM money. It would not be a Phil Jackson Knicks type of contract. It is more of a question of whether he wants to leave the Celtics and if the Pelicans roster is appealing enough.
