I will note, the Pistons GM also came from the Pelicans. We’re all very happy with how hes done so far.

I think the Pelicans front office has no issue producing talent for OTHER front offices, their own is where the difficulties are lol

Yeah it seems this dude will be the main analytics guy and has worked for Miami too.

We’ll really never know if this is a good hire, just gotta trust the new owner.

You should look at the list of former coaches and front office members from the Pelicans… They are everywhere. Tim Connelly, Chris Finch, Bryson, Trajon, ect…. It’s the ownership that’s the problem. They get good talent in the building.b

It’s just ownership. Griff put together a great staff, but Gayle tied their hands behind their backs. Then she fired Griff and Dumars cleaned house. We are going back to the Stone Age. We will have the smallest staff in the league. Only maybe the Dundon Blazers might rival it.

This gets repeated every single time a Pelicans front office person gets hired. It’s so tiring. Trajan left and made the Pistons the #1 seed. Bryson Graham left and executed the second best trade of the last year and then got hired to run the Bulls.

The front office personnel was never the problem. It’s always been ownership.

The comment you made has been repeated on literally every thread from every person who left the Pels FO. It’s just tiring. People act like the analytics guy is the reason the Pels suck and not cheap and incompetent ownership.

“After graduating from the University of Southern California, Ramadas spent more than a decade with the Aerospace Corporation before his first opportunity in the NBA With New Orleans.

“He’s a literal rocket scientist,” a Pelicans source told ESPN.
While working for the Pelicans, Ramadas implemented Al and coded models to aid the front office, the source told ESPN.”

According to Pelinka, they were looking to hire 2 assistant GMS, 1 for analytics/cap expert and the other one for draft and pro scouting. This sounds like it’s the analytics/cap hire based on the background

Never heard of assistant GM, must mean Pelinka is on the hot seat

[Charania] The Los Angeles Lakers are hiring former New Orleans Pelicans vice president of strategy and operations Rohan Ramadas as an assistant general manager under president Rob Pelinka, sources tell me and @mcten . The Lakers have interviewed candidates to bolster their front office.
