“He’s the ultimate player-coach,” Wendell Carter Jr. tells ScoopB.com.
“He expects great things from his players and not giving everyone necessarily their freedom but he wants everybody to be great and he wants everybody to live up to what their potential is; and also he coaches you really hard especially on the defensive end. He wants guys to sit down and guard. He really doesn’t put too much emphasis on the offensive end but I think that’s the freedom you get when you sit down and get stops on the other end.”
30 of these jobs on the planet and we've got an unemployed guy debating whether or not he wants this one. Very Pelicans.
Remember how well it went when Mickey had to beg Pete Carmichael to take the Saints OC job?
You shoudnt have to go back and forth with guys to take the most premium positions in sports.

If they could go into the menu section and put this team on auto-gm, they would do it.
Hiring Joe Dumars and stripping the organization down to the bare minimum is as close to that as they can get.
re: Kamara going on Terron Armstead's show live at 6 tonight
Posted by eyeran on 5/4/26 at 6:37 pm to Chad504boy
Loomis has spent the entire offseason talking about Kamara like he's a free agent, when he's not.
Kamara's doing a clever job of being business as usual, talking about getting back in town, meeting the rookies, etc.
He's clearly not considering retirement and probably won't accept a pay cut, so he's going to force Loomis to decide whether or not he wants to get rid of a Saints legend who's just showing up to work.

As soon as he got fired everyone in NBA media immediately started mentioning the Pelicans. Windhorst said he expects Mosely to have a job soon. Seems like a pretty open secret at this point.
The Bulls just hired their president today. That leaves the Blazers and Pelicans. The Blazers owner is so cheap he might try to have AI coach the team.

re: It is going to be a bidding war for Rondo
Posted by eyeran on 5/4/26 at 4:51 pm to Islandboy777
I don't understand why Pelicans fans are acting like Rondo is some hot commodity in coaching circles.
I like Rondo and want him to be the hire, but no one else is even considering him.

quote:Yeah. That 4-10 range has basically been home for the Pelicans since they moved to New Orleans, so they might as well just keep doing what they've been doing for 20+ years and they'll have their best shot possible at the top pick.
The new tanking rules probably scare that off though

Hell, Gayle can save even more money if we just have Dumars coach the team himself, like the Walrus did. Why not?
I want to see if they even replace Erin Summers and We Johnson or if they just make Andrew Lopez do pre game, halftime, sidelines, and post game.

If Dumars cleans house and gets better results with 75% of the labor and costs, you know how big of a win that is for him?
This franchise sucks with the bare minimum staffing setup. Thinking you're going to cut even more and win is insanity.
Im sorry but Joe Dumars, his child, and Troy Weaver road tripping around the country to put a team together like its 1950 is not the way to compete with OKC or Boston.
Besides, these cuts aren't about operating more efficiently anyway. Its Dumars getting rid of shite he never believed in anyway, that allows him to run upstairs to the billionaires and brag about the pocket change he saved them.

There is likely more coming within the week. While it’s unfortunate because people will likely know someone, but wholesale changes need to happen.
Seriously doubt 63 year old Joe Dumars is rushing to replenish the analytics department.
re: Pelicans End of Season Presser
Posted by eyeran on 4/14/26 at 5:06 pm to Mickey Goldmill
Bey has DMV connections, so he definitely wasn't a throw in.
Detroit people warned us that Weaver has a weird fetish for guys from there or that played there, and sure enough he brought in FOUR different guys from there in his first offseason here(Bey, Dickinson, Peavy, Queen). 5 if you count Poole, who was in Washington with him.
If people want to know what the roster will look like next year, literally just google guys from the DMV

I didn’t watch the whole presser but Dumars did mentioned the possibility of getting into the first round. The only way we do that is by trading Herb/Trey/Murray.

"If you look at both #1 seeds, he was critical in building both of those. You look at OKC and DET right now, his print is on all of that... If you see how those guys play, its what I have been talking about, and that's why Troy was my first hire"
-- Joe Dumars on Troy Weaver
This is the most nonsensical, moronic, delusional post season presser i've ever seen. This roster is not "talented" and we aren't "close" to winning shite.
This "we have to get tougher," bullshite is just Dumars exposing that he's still trying to build a team to compete with the 89 Pistons, not win games in the 2026.
He mentions wanting to be like Boston. They dont win because they have a bunch of tough guys, They win because they have shooters wrapped around the arena. We have Trey Murphy.
