I'm starting to think that Alvin, Stan, or Dell are the ones behind all of these articles.

This part of todays madness could be dealt with pretty easily if someone from the local media would actually do their jobs and simply get a statement from Benson.

But this will probably just hang out there.

Looks like The Athletic deleted this headline (it was getting a lot of heat from local reporters including Athletic reporters), for this:

Can he get the Pelicans’ roster right?

Zion Williamson’s future in New Orleans — and potentially more — could be at stake this offseason

So you asked what it was based on and he gave you a quote straight from the owners mouth. Now you are saying you don't believe her? Have you followed how the team was acquired in the first place?

I realize billionaire owners aren’t ones to be bothered by the Hollinger types but Gayle needs to come out and address all this. Statement , video, presser , doesn’t matter . Use all of the attention on your franchise to your advantage. Send a message . Show Zion, the team, media that you truly won’t be punked and are All In on winning in NOLA.

If anything this just proves the other stories are BS


just because one story is unequivocally false, doesn't mean the Zion story is also false. that's just bad logic man


fact is this team isn't going anywhere. and Zion's family has been a pain since he arrived in New Orleans. if you want clicks right now, write something about Griff, Zion, or the Pels in general.

Yeah with Will Guillory involved, the other story at least has some truth to it.

Hollinger on the other hand is total trash.

I mean I was aware of the quote. And while I’m not saying she will sell, I don’t exactly think that quote is binding. So no I don’t believe her.

Did the ARod ownership group say they're never going to move the team in their opening press conference or any statements since?

I think it's clear they have a motive. I don't believe the smoke.

We have an NFL owner for an owner. As long as Gayle wants the team we’re staying.

Don't know why you got downvoted.

Those other stories have truth.
