Fire Griffin, then Green (1 Viewer)

[dvdman]

Gayle Benson has to do the right thing right now and fire both Griffin and Green. The team has way too much talent to be playing this poorly. It’s a total embarrassment so far this season.

What's the rush? It's as effective as a tank.

I will say that I hope Gayle (or someone can tell her) that it seems that too many around the Saints and Pelicans are comfortable with sad results. How does that sit with her?

Half the team is in street clothes. They might as well stay at the house.

28 points at half to the knicks is embarrassing no matter who you have or don’t have.

But you might as well keep Willie for the tank.

I think it is Griffin that needs to go first, and then ride out the season with Green and let the new GM evaluate the org top to bottom the remainder of the season. His whole approach of getting “good humans” and building a “family” culture is BS and we have a locker room of players concerned with themselves and not the team that they are paid by and play for. DJM coming in and BI simultaneously going out smells off, and makes me think that he was in there primarily auditioning for another team and now wants to be healthy for that. Makes sense for him, but time to move on from him and Zion or change his tune on the max, which ain’t happening. We can get a decent return for Zion, and rebuild around that, DJM, and our young core. The Zion/ BI core has been a massive failure, and we need to move to the next idea of building a contender. Griffin isn’t the guy to do it

It's on Griff. When you think about what Griff could have done with the assets he received from trading AD, it's depressing.
Griff isn't the right guy to do so.

Firing them might be a drastic move, but if things don't turn around fast, it might be the only option. This team should be doing way better.

I agree with this timeline/order of operations. It signals that Gayle understands the whole thing is broken and has to be replaced, but it preserves the tank, which should be our top on-court priority for this season.

From what I've heard.

Griff is probably going to save his job due to the situation with Ingram trade.

Brandon Ingram sabotaged a trade to Utah for pretty hefty package by refusing to take a contract extension. The contract extension was valued at near max.

Completely derailed the off-season.

The only way Griff gets fired is if the season bottom out badly and another 40 humiliating loses and Ingram/Zion demand a trade.

The "Gap Year" rhetoric has been getting used exhausting lately and don't be fool. This won't be a gap year. It'll be a reset.

That doesn't surprise me, and is somewhat out of Griff's control but the bottom line is that he is about to be on his 4th coach in 6 years. At some point that repeated failure has to land on him.

You saw what we had to go through to get Dennis fired and Loomis is still employed...

 

[GrandAdmiral]

Loomis is still employed...

For now...

Need to trade BI and Zion.
