Is this the lowest point in the history of this franchise
Posted on 11/12/26 at 8:26 am
Posted on 11/12/26 at 8:26 am
I am specifically referring to Benson ownership so "Pelicans" franchise
1) Hired Dumars, a complete bum that hadn't been an NBA lead exec in 20 years with no search
2) Hired Weaver, an abysmal GM with a losing record
3) Coming off two seasons with less than 50 wins COMBINED.
4) Made a draft day trade that every NBA person thought was one of the most baffling and terrible of all time
5) Didn't have a draft pick in the last draft, considered one of the deepest and best of the last decade as a result of that trade
6) The player picked in that trade just had a bizarre moment go viral
7) FO, after less than 50 wins combined the previous two years decided the roster was good and did nothing
8) Player spends a whole season shitting on the franchise and isn't traded, and continues to take shots at franchise on twitter (and deletes it)
9) Another player traded for is so bad that he can't play at all on a huge contract, and also takes shots at the franchise and wants out bad
10) Start the season 0-4, now have the one of the worst 3 game stretches in team history, up there in league history as all time bad
11) Last year Ownership quiet quit, did not have an events or promo schedule and thought no one would notice. Someone eventually did and they came up with a promo schedule
12) Rumors circulating that the Benson camp let leak during Renovation negotiations that a buyer was out there that wants to move the team to KC
Anyone that spent all offseason defending this shite is not a fan. This is as low as it gets. They either need to just sell (and maybe we lose the team), or Gayle has to get serious about this franchise for once.

This is a player’s league and we have shite players. Players in the NBA face no consequences. I’m not quite sure what you think. Gail Dumars or Mosley are really supposed to do. The only thing possible is to throw the rotten apples off the team while they sit home getting paid $30 million.

And you think teams were ringing their phone off the hook for our shite players. Most of these assholes were here already.

Gayle will never get serious about the Pelicans. She is rich and the sale price when the Pels do sell won't affect her bottom line much, she still be stinking rich.
I used to think she was just apathetic about the Pels , but I'm starting to believe she is purposely tanking the Pels team so when she moves the team or sells it she won't get much backlash. Keep tanking the team, draw local interest as low as possible and then sell the team / move it and not face as much negative local press. And she can still parade around New Orleans acting like the savior she thinks she is.

70 more games of this shite. This is going to get a whole lot worse this season

Gayle is the worst owner in professional sports.
The C-Suite level executives have been in their positions for waaaayyyyy too long and are a bunch of arrogant assholes.
She hired Dumars without even a single interview for another candidate.
Both teams will be significantly better off once they're sold, torn down to the studs and rebuilt in the vision of an owner who actually knows what the hell they are doing.
Also believe it's long overdue for the Pels to be owned by a separate owner than the Saints. They'll never get the attention and direction they need until that is done.

All while sitting courtside smiling not giving a frick that the team is horrendous. As long as she can be the face of the city . There is no way she can be that fricking stupid, its all a game. Drop the team so low she will be doing a favor selling it/moving it and can still parade around New Orleans protecting pedo priests.
She's been playing with house money ever since getting with Tom.
She is the worst.

I know you just want to be contrarian on here but stop being a character for once
Its his job. Other GMs routinely make trades of bad players. He did nothing this offeason
And the reason is that after the Queen trade, every GM in the league is trying to rape him on every trade. They know he is a bum in way over his head and he doesn't have a clue what he is doing. He just doesn't know how to do this
And it shows.

we had a new coaching staff. it is sort of fair to give the new coach a chance at putting this talent together. sort of what you hired him for.
i'll say this. we aren't privy to a lot of information there is to be known. should we know murray is an a-hole. what sort of a-hole has he been. were we trying to work up his value and get his arse out of here. what was our plan?

so you now know all the deals proposed and everything. you're just literally making up shite right now. and you're mad that dumars did not make trades that would have "rape him" cause he done "got raped". you're posting just a lot of emotional drama.
what i think. The organization better know the keepers and the get ridders. The biggest questions i have is 1. what is trey murphy to this organization? 2. Herb Jones, is he a problem now or was he just acting out due to being surrounded by assholes. Also, herb has very limited offensive game and that's a fault of his own that has held this team back over years too.
we probably need to rid ourselves of zion. his value is highish, healthy and not completely obese and playing ball. trade him, reset organization, never allow a poison player to step back on the court. looking at Dejounte and not sure about poole.
Focus on fears, Missi, Karlo, Bey, Trey, herb, queen etc.

It’s pretty bad Bunch. But we all saw this coming from a mile away. Didn’t think it’d be this much drama with Dejounte though.

So fricking what
Its his second offseason. He did almost literally nothing
How many offseasons should Dumars get before we can judge him?
I didn't read the rest of your nonsense

Lowest Point?
Yeah. This is actually hopeless feeling.
1. Vets (Murray, Poole) are seemingly locker room cancers
2. Young guys (Queen, Fears, Missi) are not growing as well as you'd hope 2-3 years into their careers
3. Mid-Age vets are maxed out (Williamson, Murphy)
4. Your "lunch pail guys" are seemingly quitting too (Jones, Bey)
This is seriously problematic and even a respected guy like Mosley can't even get it fixed.

Even this is a whole bunch of mid. Trey and Herb can go. There’s literally no one on this team I wouldn’t listen to offers for at this point.

Can't even argue without bullshite from you.
Throw tantrums, can't talk specifics.

i guess if you don't include the things he did do, then you are down to nothing i suppose.

we're aiming for mid right now.
I would listen to trey and herb but we need value to depart with them.

I don't post much on here. Most just enjoy reading opinions and nonsense.
I'm not going to go into many details but as someone who worked in that building on Airline Drive for a very lengthy amount of time, it's pretty amusing how dumb your loyalty and support of Gayle Benson and her posse makes you look.
I got out of there years ago because it's a toxic environment from the top down. It all starts with HER and her inability to do anything b/c she has no idea what she is doing. Both organizations are run by people who have been in their positions for way too long, are no longer qualified to get the job done, and are only in those positions b/c they're friends of Gayle. It's why she's seen ZERO success as an owner of either team.
The only logical explanation for your undying allegiance to them is you are a burner account for one of the VPs themselves.

Maybe i argue too far on the other side because she gets attacked a bit too far on the other side. At the end of the day, 99% of them are owners that hire people to do a job. She's no different. She spends money, she's loyal to the city, she does want success and is involved with both organizations. It does no good for an owner to behave like a child in front of the public. I'm not sure what expectations of "actions" yall have but most of people's bullshite starts and ends with she was tom's widow, has a vagina, and something something catholic church. Dumars is there to do a job, when enough time has passed and this is deemed a failure, she'll make a move. Joe was an expensive get for Gayle, it wasn't bc she got Joe because she's cheap.
Our best case scenario is forcing Joe to hire a new GM of title sorts and give him full power over roster and trades. Hire someone young and upcoming underneath the veteran tutilige so to speak of Joe Dumars being the laisance between Gayle and the team and force Joe to fix the culture.

I was thinking about my Least Favorite Pels and as much as I loathe Murray and what’s going on…
Eric Gordon and that whole period still happened.
