More #Pelicans broadcast news: Antonio Daniels (@adaniels33) will be joining the local TV broadcast team as color analyst, per sources. Daniels will replace David Wesley, who served in the role for the past seven seasons.

That sucks. Wesley really improved over the years and was a good fit next to the GOAT Joel. I don't know anything about this Daniels guy.

I hate this. Wes is the man. I’m hoping it’s because he’s going into coaching.

WTF.

Wesley really grew into the role. Daniels has been awful on TV.

I just saw DW at a bar this past weekend so he’s still living here

Damn the only bad news so far this off season

Wes was bad his first year but improved so much

One of the best duos in the NBA

Sucks because if Daniels does turn into a good color guy, it's probably going to take a year or two.

At least he's got tGOAT to pick up his slack as he's learning.

This guy,as well as the whole Dallas based production, have been horrible. Hoping for the best though.

Really hate to read this. It's amazing that his first year I wanted to stick a blade in my ear listening to him call games. He was one of the worst commentators I heard. And then he got SO much better and became one of my favorites, which I never saw coming. Hopefully this is because he has something great lined up for himself. Otherwise this is just straight up bad news.

Can get little bit over excited at times but I didn’t think Daniels was that bad lol he had some good honest opinions/criticism for AD during last year’s entire shite show so let’s see what he’s got.

I never was a fan of Wesley's commentary, he always seemed overly critical of Pelican players.

God damnit

During an offseason of continual great news I was not prepared for this.

They should just bring back Gil if Wesley is leaving.

I am initiallly disappointed, but hesitantly optimistic.

Joel and David were almost a little too in sync last year. Commentary would often turn into jabs at the god awful officiating, which was nice to hear for awhile that someone as respected as Joel Meyers is just as annoyed as I am, but it might not be a bad thing if Daniels can kind of rein in the commentary on the officiating some.

For those that aren’t familiar with Daniels, he’s a pretty decent listen on SiriusXM NBA Radio as well as what’s been mentioned and if anything he feels even a little pessimistic towards the Pels in the past.

I just didn’t feel like the Meyers/Wesley duo was clicking last year like it had in years past. This news didn’t provide any level of shock to me.

If we lost Joel, I’d be frickING MELTING.

Wow this sucks. DW has become great at what he does, and I really love him and Joel together.
