The guy runs a laughable offensive scheme that can’t buy buckets, has had his hand in some of the worst personnel moves in NBA history, doesn’t know what a timeout is, and uses challenges at the wrong time every time. How is it possible we are retaining this moron??

The Willie move is just bonkers


It pisses me off, but on the bright side it will save me money. Because I’m out on buying tickets.

I feel like we're living in a dream, this is so batshit crazy. We fire Griff, hire Dumars and keep Willie. That's the worst imaginable off-season. Atleast we'll land multiple top 5 picks.
With this current trend, I feel like we will be drafting 8th this year (Whatever our worst possible outcome is).

Edit: Yes, it is 8th pick with a 2.2% chance.

No, he’s a guy who has watched the absolutely atrocious end of game offensive movement every single time it’s close and we need a basket. He has watched and listened as Antonio Daniels screams about how much better we are when we play with pace and how infrequently we do. He’s watched as Willie stands quietly with his arms folded as Zion continually gets one of the worst whistles in the league. He’s watched as whatever team he fielded this year played no defense whatsoever. We obviously weren’t going to win a lot of games this year with the injuries, but the lack of defensive effort was embarrassing and a reflection on our “defensive minded” coach. So you can quit with the contrarian bullshite you’re spewing in this thread. It’s ridiculous.

It ain’t contrarian, it just ain’t sky skreaming drama over every move made and spinning it into a bleeding vagina opinion piece

This board has always been full of themselves and present times ain’t no different

Yeah because wanting a coach fired who has vastly underachieved and been completely unable to get through to his star player is “sky screaming.” I was trying to be nice with contrarian. So we’ll go with idiot who probably hasn’t watched more than a handful of games.

You're just doing your whole Benson's can do no wrong shtick all offseason. You are contributing nothing.

I am calling balls and strikes because I have very little emotional connection to either team as I get older.

There just aren't a lot of strikes right now to call.

They won 26 games out of a possible 99. That is pathetic. Saints are going on 5 years without the playoffs and the Pelicans have not won a series since pre-Covid. The two teams are in shambles.

We call the good, we call the bad.

The Ownership deserves scorn for this.

Dumars, based on his performance in the job, does not, because he hasn't done anything yet.

If he makes good moves he will get praise.

Retaining Willie fricking Green in an offseason where Mike Malone and Taylor Jenkins are on the market will be the worst decision this franchise has ever made.

Bunchie you have become a horrible lazy take dramatic poster. But congrats you are within the confines of a controlled mob on this board. Joe Dumars has not even sat in his executive desk yet and you are throwing petulant rants

I think there's a small group of Catholic Saints fans who just can't admit that Benson is a real shitty owner, let alone one that helped cover up pedos.

Amen. Even Bud is available, but if you were a serious org you'd make Jenkins or Malone tell you no.

Your takes consist of "The Saints and Pelicans are always right I love the Bensons"

I like a lot of what the Saints have done this offseason. I think the state of the franchise is generally poor, but I love the Moore hire and much of his staff. I like some of the minor FA moves they made.

Balls and strikes.

You just will not also do so, because you are trolling.

And I have said several times, but your reading comprehension is poor, I will now judge Joe Dumars on the moves he makes going forward. I don't hold keeping Willie against him because I do not believe that is his decision.

The process is not on him, its on the Bensons.

If Dumars makes good moves, I will praise them, if he doesn't I won't.
