Something major has to happen tomorrow, if not late this evening after the final game. Both Griffin and Green cannot return. Someone, if not both, have to be released.
Until recently, the thinking was that Griffin would be given another year and Green would be released. Griffin has drafted fairly well and gets high marks of the organizational infrastructure he has built. But very recently, there has been smoke that ownership loves Wille Green and that Griffin may not return. I do not understand the attachment to Green, who may be a great human being, but I have never felt at any time during Green's tenure that the Pelicans were playing above their level of talent, and to the contrary, I have thought often that the team was underachieving because of coaching. I still think that Griffin gets one more years and that Green will be released. But the status quo is unacceptable. Something major will happen no later than tomorrow afternoon. Ownership has had months to dwell on and decide what it wants to do once the last game is played. The Pelicans play their last game this afternoon.
