Assistant coaches Casey Hill and Corey Brewer are among those who will not return, sources confirmed. The Pelicans are expected to move in a different direction with most of the coaching staff.

Separately, on the business side and not under the purview of Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations, Joe Dumars, T.V. Studio Host, Erin Summers, and Studio Analyst, Wesley Johnson are among a few in the overall broadcasting group who were let go.

Rivers and Dumars have both made so many dumb ass moves over the years that I’ve begun combining them into a singular, incredibly inept entity. I keep forgetting which team either guy is currently screwing up.

If they had their own pick, they would have been tanking and had better odds. The Pels were trying to win and still only finished 4 games ahead of the Jazz, lol.

Isn’t Queen at least good? We don’t know how Dybantsa will turn out in the NBA, but even assuming he’s great, it’s not like Luka for Marvin Bagley.

Brock-Lesnar

They just took Missi the year before, They already have Zion - the spacing on that team is horrific, and Queen does not compliment Zion at all, they have 0 rim protection with both on the floor. So they had to play for wins at the end of the season, if they just tanked they would’ve been in a spot to take a player that fits much better and has higher potential - it’s pretty straight forward.

While I don’t trust Dumars to do much right, this sub is all over the place.

You guys, rightfully so, have clowned the Pels org for years of being incompetent, and then Dumars fires everyone, and this place is like “this clown is the problem!”

And yeah Dumars is not great at his job, but this is good move from him. Our org has needed sweeping changes since before Griff was here. Glad this is happening.

There is such a thing as “Right Message, Wrong Messenger”. I don’t see anyone actually defending the people being fired, but the guy who’s been really bad deciding who to fire (to which no one has confidence he’s firing the right people) and how he’s escaping the consequences for his bad choices by firing others is why everyone is criticizing him and calling him the problem.

Because he might not be the only problem, but expecting him to be a part of the solution is really problematic.

I’m sure 20 of those people weren’t responsible for the product.

Pelicans have begun sweeping operations changes. President of Basketball Operations, Joe Dumars, has fired or declined to renew the contracts of over 25 people across multiple departments.
