NBA source:
“don’t pay attention to any names you see linked to Pelicans over the next few weeks.”

It’s all agent-driven chatter.
I’m told when Griffin said the franchise will be deliberate, he means it 110%.

I’m told “don’t waste energy on the names you’re hearing right now.”

It’s hard to believe anything Fletch passes on as “insider” but I do agree here. Anything this quick is agent smoke imo.

Fletcher has had some minor info in the past but...he’s Fletcher.

I think the meaning of his tweet got a bit lost here. I actually just recorded a podcast episode with him which will come out Tuesday

Griff said himself most of the candidates are still in the bubble amd that this process won't be done via Zoom.

If he's even being half truthful it will probably be weeks before the pels have even narrowed it down to their top 3.

I'm honestly surprised Mackel hasn't started made a post yet explaining why "insert coach here" is the right guy for the job because he hired him on his 2k20 franchise and the Pelicans won the finals.

I normally believe the opposite of what Fletch reports. That’s the way to get most accurate Pels info haha.

He’ll push Becky Hammon if he hasn’t already. I can’t see his tweets

He pushed her already like two days ago. About the 3rd or 4th year in a row.

You can tell the people from the pelicans subreddit read Mackels tweet. They all hype up Becky and think she’s the best option out there yet when you mention other qualified or even more qualified assistants they have no idea who they are.

Fletcher is absolute trash and the city of New Orleans deserves so much better.

Kushner is still pretty good, but not as good as he used to be. He just seems mad and bitter and it comes across in his writing sometimes.

Yea Guillory and Andrew Lopez are great. Even though they may be “local” I think of them as national due to their publications.

I think that’s a justifiable tone to take. The franchise has been a fricking mess for the better part of a decade.
