I agree they could use a POBO, but the Bensons being new in the NBA world is just like when they bought the Saints, it took awhile to figure it out and get everything in place to have it running smoothly..
They will spend the money needed, will they lose money? Maybe not, but they dont make a ton off the Pelicans as it is.
Maybe this April will be when you see big changes in the front office, as I personally think Loomis will be turning over GM duties of the Saints to Ireland, and getting more involved in the entirety of the business (dont forget he also has shares in both the Pelicans and Saints that were left to him by Tom).. We might've seen that shakeup happen this past offseason, but with Tom's death they may not have wanted to stir up things to much so soon.

Again, you are describing a situation that would be 'Not bad'
Let me give you an example of a fantastic situation -
A POBO that has a long history in both business and basketball who brings in a VP who has the same. Collectively, they hire a GM after an exhaustive search and those three people see eye to eye on the type of franchise they want to be, how they want to build, what culture they want to have, and what things they refuse to tolerate or take shortcuts on.
Then, they hire a coach that shares that vision. All four are on the same page. Not saying they agree on personnel all the time, but they share the same vision on culture and attitude and the process they will take to get to where they want to go.
That is great. Sounds like you don't mind settling for "not bad", which is definitely better than what has been here the last 10-15 years. But that doesn't make it okay to settle for that
