[Charania] Dejounte Murray will NOT play another minute for the New Orleans Pelicans this season. Murray intends to sit out until his trade request is satisfied.
I feel like this actively hurts his chances of being traded now lol
Having him sit out this entire season and then refuse the player option feels like the best case scenario for the Pelicans.
He’s not worth his contract, they’d have to give other teams assets to get rid of him.
Suns will give up assets to trade for him. it is known
lol what assets? We don’t have anything left to offer, otherwise you’re absolutely right.
Jalen Green is in danger
Green for Murray kinda makes sense for both teams? Bad fits on current teams, exchange one teams problem for another’s?
no one wants green for another year. pelicans dont have to do anything; they probably want a wink wink deal that Murray will decline his option and trade him for a 8th round pick and a pack of cigarettes. if they cant trade him its more likely he declines his player option.
Unless they want a straight up Jalen Green for Murray swap, we got nothing boss.
Can you trade someone for free?
I think there needs to be some return?
If it’s cash it needs to be at least $110k.
way more likely it’s a buyout than a trade, pels would have to add assets to get rid of that contract especially given the circumstances.
No way he gets a buyout when he’s got a $30 Million player option next season!
Doubtful he’s picking up his player option if he’s doing all this lol. They’ll find a mutual buyout price.
he is picking it up 100%, he just prefers it not at Pelicans.
Maybe a straight up trade for Porzingis and Moody from GSW.
Just an idea, I think it almost works salary wise
Kerr didn’t stand for Kuminga’s shit. Last thing he’ll do is let DJ Murray of all people fuck with his system.
Absolutely not.
No thanks lol. I’ve seen what bad vibes can do to a team
If he kept it quiet, went out there and showed out every night and worked with the Pels behind the scenes to get moved I’m sure they’d find a spot. Pels aren’t going anywhere anyways so they aren’t really under any pressure to sell low on him
Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner you are now pelicans!
Eh there’s some editorializing/guesswork with OP’s title. Shams didn’t say Murray is refusing to play, it’s more likely there’s a mutual agreement there.
Demanding a trade like he’s a superstar 😂
Y’all say this every single time, and every single time they’re eventually traded for reasonable value lol
Ben Simmons and James Harden did this with the Sixers and I read these same comments over and over again for months. It gets tiring after a while!
Pelicans must hate Rich Paul lmao. He pulled this shit again
Does anyone actually like Rich Paul? Lol
His clients except Nerlens Noel
lol what happened with nerlens Noel! That’s a name I haven’t heard in awhile
He turned down 4 years and $70 million from the Mavs and then never got another offer close to that
he got offered a massive contract and rich paul never told him about it and nobody else offered him anything remotely close
idk if youre really asking but after dallas I believe he signed with the knicks for thibs first season and made the playoffs as the starting center over mitchell robinson, and then re-signed with the knicks and was traded the season after to detroit to make capspace for the jalen brunson signing. after the league shortly after that, injured and getting older and didnt have the best frame
Adele maybe
They all love BBC in England
Jesus Christ
Double entendre
Niiiice
I’ve heard it’s more of an SPH situation with Paul
Man, talk about punching down your class.
His clients
Mat Ishbia
His clients LOVE him lol bro is a miracle maker and gets them paid somehow someway
Just ask GTJ
He probably threaten teams with withholding future free agents from signing with them if they don’t pay up.
I am sure that is exactly how he works
And that’s all that matters. He’s an NBA players agent. He doesn’t gaf how small market fan Timmy cried when he ruined his childhood team’s chances at contending - whether through getting a trade demand fulfilled or by getting some limited player overpaid.
Gary Trent Jr.
Idk why but I keep suspecting he’s hosting some Diddy style parties
Bron glazers
Lebron
Nope
His weed carriers
Gary Trent Jr most certainly does
GARY TRENT JR for sure
The crazy thing is Rich Paul initiated the original trade from ATL to the Pels with David Griffin, fucked us twice with this guy 😂.
Lol, Damn respect!
I hate him, I hate our organization, I hate everything about following this team
Bye Felicia
DJM is straight neoplasm
Bye Felicia still going strong 30 years later. It’s a trip seeing little kids say it nowadays. They arent quoting it from the movie. It’s just an old saying.
Pelicans are more than glad to not have to play him probably
Rich Paul is saving their ass. Murray sucks, and the team inexplicably continues to play him. Pelicans are way better without that bum playing another minute.
There were 62 million reasons to play him until the last few days. Not anymore tho!
Are you kidding I love Rich Paul rn. We are 3-0 when Murray doesn’t play. He is awful on and off the court.
If teams love your agent you have a bad agent
This one is fine. I thought it would take much longer. He can leave for free tbh. He’s approaching Eric Gordon levels of disdain at this point.
Nah happy not to watch this bum anymore
He did it with Peyton Watson, and now he’s playing like ass on the Cavs. At least he gets his guys paid but still, horrible management, super corrupt and pays off a lot of NBA media.
I really doubt this is based on Paul’s advice. Murray has been losing his mind on social media for days. I highly doubt he’s listening to his agent. He seems like a lunatic at this point
Blaming the agent for doing his job on behalf of his client. Folks lose their brain cells over Rich Paul here
You think rich Paul made Murray unhappy to be in New Orleans? Some people blame him for anything.
Murray doesn’t wanna be there and Paul is doing his job to help Murray as much as possible
He’s doing us a favor.
Yeah, he’s not worth his contract.
This gives the Pelicans zero incentive to trade him. If he refuses to play they don’t need to pay him. That’s better than anything teams will offer the Pelicans in exchange for him.
This is the way Rich Paul should always be handled, hopefully Klutch threats dont make the Pels cave.
As a pel fan, does it even matter if Klutch is mad at NO? We aren’t exactly a destination franchise
You’re right that it doesn’t matter, but Klutch will act as if NOLA will be seriously harmed by being denied their clients for the next decade. The FO is potentially dumb enough to cave.
We actually are better, right now this year, without him. He’s a part of the dumbest vet win now part of the two timeline was that inevitably destined to fail. Give fears the keys and give him his keys to drive home and stay there
This would be the best timeline.
Even if they aren’t paying him they’ll still have his cap hit on the books no?
Its kinda fine either way. Pels aren’t competing and they definitely shouldn’t give up assets to get rid of him unless its actually somehow a beneficial trade for them. Best case scenario he doesn’t pick up his option and they just let him sit at home or worst case they pay out next year and this dude fucks up his career a bit. Its dejounte so he’s probably just not thinking at all but you do have to wonder what he’s thinking by putting this in public since he doesn’t hold any cards here lol. What he should do is behind the scenes press for the trade and have some on the court production to help get him out of the door
I think so yes, the NBPA is very much opposed to letting teams free up cap space.
However, he is a negative asset, they’d likely have to give up assets to get rid of him, so just having him decline his player option increases his value for the Pelicans.
And the Pelicans aren’t good enough to make the playoffs, or bad enough to be in danger of being a bottom 3 team. So they really don’t have an incentive to trade Murray.
He’ll just get an injury. Everyone does this with trade demands.
Worst team in the league with him. Just regular not great without him so far
We were serviceable when he sat
addition by subtraction fr
More Fears minutes sound good to me
No kidding. He’s a malcontent playing poorly.
I was about say, I really wish he had waited until after the Grizzlies game to do this.
Pelicans better not pay him
I want to watch Joe Dumars and Troy Weaver attempt to handle this.
Dyson Daniels and 2 first round picks btw
Dang
Don’t look up what we traded to get him from SA. Those records should be sealed.
What did they get😭😭😭
Hawks receive:
• Dejounte Murray
• Jock Landale
Spurs receive:
• Danilo Gallinari
• 2023 first-round pick (via Charlotte from New York, protected)
• 2025 first-round pick. -Carter Bryant at 14, after our pick was Dylan Harper-
• 2026 pick swap
• 2027 first-round pick
But the real win was that it tanked the Spurs in the standings, and sent a distress signal to Outer Space 👽
Spurs traded him for 3 first round picks (one of which became Carter Bryant), 1 first round pick swap, and Danilo Gallinari who was waived shortly afterwards
Honestly, Hawks probably came out of that trade better than the Spurs. Spurs only got Carter Bryant, Quaintance, and next year’s Hawks FRP. Hawks in comparison were able to trade Murray for Dyson and next year’s worst swap between Bucks/Pels, which is basically guaranteed to be lottery. I know I’d rather have the Hawks side of this whole thing.
That was when a solid PG was the one piece they were missing, though. Then he immediately tore his achilles, and their Center left.
When on earth have the Pels been only missing one piece.
Yeah, we’ve been looking for a proper big to pair with Z for years. PG was just another issue on top of it.
Wasn’t he supposed to be the missing piece on the Hawks too?
Sounded like a good deal at the time man. IIRC though Saddiq Bey was a throw-in for that trade and he’s become a fan favorite.
Ahh… that’s the stuff
I completely forgot about Dyson Daniel’s being a part of this trade until today. Rough.
Time is a flat circle.. This is a mirror image of the Suns situation with Eric Bledsoe, Goran Dragic and Isaiah Thomas.
Even down to one of the point guards tweeting out his trade request and complaining to Rich Paul.
Murray, Fears and Poole aren’t great players currently but they all deserve more PT than they’re getting. Anytime an NBA team rosters 3 talented PGs, it’s basically a ticking timebomb before one of them asks out.
Bledsoe just tweeting “I don’t wanna be here” is still top 5 funniest NBA tweets
Didn’t he follow it up by saying “oh I was just talking about the barbershop I was in” lmao
Bottom 5 lie all time
Nail salon
He was getting his asshole bleached
I don’t know what’s funnier, the tweet or his excuse afterwards claiming he was referring to the hair salon he was at at the time.
Yeah that was hilarious 😂. Like we were supposed to believe his haircut experience was so bad that he had to tweet that during it lol.
He was waiting for his girl at the nail/hair salon
The salon was one of the funniest nba moments in the 2010s forsure
C’mon man, he TOTALLY was talking about being with his girl getting work done at the hair salon
Enshrined in the header of r/arizonasportshell BTW
Sometimes when I’m sitting at work I think I don’t wanna be here, then it reminds me of this tweet and for a split second I smile and nod
I’m glad we’re all living the same lives. Sometimes I even guffaw lmfao
this dredged up memories of the terry rozier drew bledsoe beef where drew bledsoe even made an appearance at the garden. Feels like a lifetime ago
Him saying he was talking about being out shopping with his wife made it 1000 times funnier lol
Anytime an NBA team rosters 3 talented PGs, it’s basically a ticking timebomb before one of them asks out.
I’m in danger
Spurs have 3 talented guards, sure, but not 3 PGs, not 3 guys who can run an offense on their own
Well you guys are winning and have plenty of time. Just wait for Fox to tweet “I hate churros” one day and Klutch will handle the rest
Oh no.
The writing is all over the wall with our situation at least.
Hopefully we can get Fox out of there as the other two develop into their prime.
well, the situation is a little different if you are 1st seed vs. if you are the 15th seed.
3 talented PGs
????
TIL every bum in the league is a talented PG
Poole should not be in the conversation of a point guard who needs minutes haha.
Yeah Poole has regressed so much. He was never a main guy type of player, but I never thought he would be this bad after leaving Golden State. But I guess that goes to show you, there are levels to this.
How is his catch and shoot abilities though, asking for a friend.
Awful, he needs to massage that thing before he gets a good shot off lol. Sorry, yall are gonna have to look elsewhere.
Poole’s bball IQ is questionable but I refuse to believe he’s a DNP-caliber player. He was productive in Washington, no chance a player his age fell off that quickly.
He’s 100% checked out in New Orleans and waiting for a trade/buyout
The only one of those that deserves more PT is Fears. Poole is ass and Murray is a main reason this team is 0-8 with him and he has had a terrible attitude his entire career
None of them deserve minutes, that’s the problem. I guess you could argue that Fears, because of his age, can play more for his development. But it’s not a great plan for winning this season so then why keep Zion and Murphy and Jones?
Weird take. None of those three are playing anywhere near more on a good team based on how they’re playing, right now they’re just guys at the NBA level.
Poole is not talented he’s one of the worst players in the league
So weird as a warrior fan I watched him carry games and carry quarters that had complete impact on our championship.
There’s this pocket of Warrior fans(or fans in general) that dont actually know basketball outside of searching up box scores.
Only thing that has changed for Poole is the system, not his skills.
Warriors offered spacing & mismatches that he hasn’t had since. If he goes back via buyout or whatever I promise you he start torching teams again.
He’s fallen off a cliff since the “punch” the dude is averaging 29.4/30/86 splits and has a 2.5⁄1.2 A/T ratio
Since the trade, nothing to do with being punched
Yeah, his numbers are pretty bad since he left the Warriors - but you can’t tell me he’s not talented It’s pointless to even say that.
29% is straight up disgustang
He ended up solid on the Wizards, hes just been booty cheeks on the Pelicans
Also not a PG.
He’s also more of a shooting guard right?
stfu
He’s shooting 29% from the field mate
I wish your dad only shot 29%.
foh
oddly enough he is probably going to the suns
A guard traded to the Pelicans wants to join the Suns and tries to leave. What year is this.
POR enters the conversation
Time is a flat circle..
Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff. Time works the same way.
Does Poole deserve more?
He makes more than Murray
lol you talking about the Eric Bledsoe nail salon tweet
Poole is ass
wow. wish he wouldn’t play another minute 8 losses ago
We are undefeated (albeit only 3 games) when he doesn’t play and 1-8 when he gets minutes
Guy absolutely wrecks the chemistry on court with his selfishness and laziness, spikes the morale on the roster, but he least he has driven up Pelicans social media engagement with his arguing and burner account
once he came back from injury and in the first game decided to not pass to Trey for a wide open fastbreak ally-oop and instead forced a reverse layup for himself instead I knew he needed to gtfo the team
I love the claim by Chams that he wants to play a “meaningful key role on another team”.
There is no team in the NBA where he could play a key role anymore since the new lottery roles mean there is no need for a tank commander.
he could play a meaningful role on any team that doesn’t have a starting PG
unfortunately for them, he doesn’t know his role though. guy thinks he is a 25 ppg scorer and doesn’t care about any other part of the game.
I remember offseason videos a few years ago of this guy banging the ball of dudes heads during one on one. He seems like an absolute dick
Doesnt he have beef with Paolo Banchero or something
that was banchero lmao
I guess he’s done it multiple times then which is crazy
He reminds me of those girls on Instagram with like 700k followers that are convinced they’re world famous. Like, dude, you’re not nearly at the level that’s required in order to act like that. And what team out there is going to want to trade for you when you’re publicly showing what an immature and arrogant turd you are? These people are not self aware
Apparently this definition also applies to Poole. 😵
any clip for that djm play where he didnt pass?
it was actually the first game of the season vs the Pacers. don’t have the clip though.
Hey, it’s Matt. Ishiba.
How does Jalen Green and our only remaining asset in the 21 century sound?
Murray is the definition of a player who vastly overestimates how good he is. Dude is delusional.
Murray: “I’m not playing for you anymore”.
Pelicans: “Thanks”.
That’s aggressive. when is the last time a player has done this? Can’t he be fined or lose game checks etc?
Yeah, I believe both in a case where he demands a trade and sits out.
Weird play for him, imo. I know he’s a former all-star but he’s been below that level for a while and it’s hard to find teams that need point guards because his time in Atlanta kinda proves he can’t really play next to another one because he can’t shoot and his defense has fallen off a cliff.
I mean any player can ask to be traded and that info will eventually be leaked (I think FOs are fine with this because it gets other FOs thinking about trading for their guy). The actual issue is if they announce it themselves, like Kai Jones did on twitter
He did retweet the Shams tweet, though, so that seems like a violation.
Miami needs a pg
He’s not good enough for this kind of demand. Who even wants him at that number? He’s not efficient and is certainly a negative asset.
At this point if he wants to get out there I think a buyout would be his only chance, but if he’s not going to play New Orleans might as well let him sit and not pay him at all.
No no no. This is fine. Please don’t play another minute. I would much rather root for our young guys on our way to a lottery pick than watch him hog the ball and slow our offense down some more
Wild that so many are against Murray here. Pels are one of biggest jokes in entire league.
Guess dejounte has time to shitpost on Reddit since he’s not playing basketball
Two things can be true at the same time. He has been mostly pretty shitty for us this year. Then he decided to start going after the media after valid criticisms. Then, his burner account got exposed this morning. Something is not right in that locker room, and he’s at least a major part of it. We will see how the team adjusts, but the first fix is getting him off it.
No way you’re actually trying to defend Murray here. Part of the reason the Pels are one of the biggest jokes in the entire league is because they traded real assets (aka Dyson Daniels) for Murray and Murray sucks.
We are undefeated with him out of the lineup. He called the coach a bitch on the court. He has to go.
We actually don’t want him playing but we should fine him anyways because fuck this clown
They’re following the nhl playbook on this now
He’s been watching NHL too closely lately
Jimmy butler? I feel like this happens once a season or so. Didnt Poole say he’s unhappy too? This team sucks
Ben Simmons.
He at least faked an injury didn’t he?
He said it was due to his mental health.
Which fell a bit flat when he insisted he still be paid in full.
Ben Simmons claiming mental health might had been real though. Especially if you consider the situation with his family at that time.
I don’t remember if he faked anything or not but they were actively fining him for sitting.
The injury was real but the issue is that became kind of like Porzingis’ PTOS where Ben stopped showing up and participating in 76ers team activities
Kawhi Leonard. Don’t ask me how i know.
“I don’t wanna be here.”
Both, lose game checks and fines
Pelicans have this effect on players.
AD walked so Murray could sit. #blessed
Yes he can
that’s all folks
Like half of the men’s US national hockey team has done it in the last year.
Jae Crowder did it on the Suns a few years ago not sure if anyone since
i mean jimmy butler quit on the heat but they just suspended him, I think
Ben Simmons did the same thing and cried that he was injured and got all 30M even tho he didn’t play
I believe it when people say DJM is a bit of a diva but there’s gotta be something crazy this coach is doing. Makes me wonder wtf was going on in Orlando this whole time…
30 year old guard who hasn’t been particularly good for 3 full seasons thinks he has leverage
ok then, best of luck to ya
Also getting paid twice his worth. He has no real value.
He’ll be out of the league once this contract runs out.
Scariest thing about this request is I bet Vivek is rubbing his hands rn.
Its less he hasnt been good cuz he has been pretty good, he is just always hurt
He has not been pretty good.
I remember a time a few years back where the Lakers and Hawks were discussing a trade for Murray, and the Hawks demanded Reaves be part of the deal. Holy crap am I glad the Lakers didnt agree to that.
I would hate eaten Pelinka from toe to nose if he did that deal
Just swallowed his ass whole like a snake
There were plenty of Laker fans who wanted the trade done.
That and giving up Rui + a FRP for bum ass Wiggins.
what if he’s into that?
u/Imkitoto said “I would have eaten Pelinka… ass whole like a snake”
You have to be a different type of stupid to do something like this because of your ego. He’s risking 30m this year + 30m guaranteed next year in a cap environment that won’t give him anywhere near that again in his career
If you read his tweets I fully believe he is beyond this stupid
He’s gonna be one of the guys who are broke 2 years after they are done playing.
Yea, this is not a good gamble on his part, especially since he has no good tape in the last several years.
Dude is going to sit himself into losing an NBA contract after his current one expires. What is he thinking?
He’s not the thinking type
Uh, isn’t this not allowed under the new cba? Like a player can’t publically demand a trade? And if he’s sitting then can’t the team just not pay him?
He can’t, but his agent can. One complicating issue is that he has retweeted the trade demand, which seems like it violates the CBA.
Yeah just he did some really dumb stuff his agents are doing whatever they can to salvage value for him and by association, themselves
Enjoy the fine buddy
The Dylan Larkin special
And Hellebuyck
For whom tho? dats 30m+ this year and then a player option for another 30m+ next year. Unless its for salary dumping, i cant see a trade happening soon
People keep saying Green for Murray straight up but I think that’s an ass trade for the suns, last thing we need is a guy to tank team chemistry and Greens contract will be a slightly bigger expiring next year which we can use to eat a slightly bigger contract and get a slightly better pick.
Honestly outside of the off court drama I dont think its terrible for the Suns. His fit with Booker would be better than Jalen Green. Almost equal amounts of years and money. Its hard to say whether Greens 36m contract next season is more attractive than Murray’s 32ish m contract as expiring bait.
I like the extra 4m because the only way we can get better is by trading for bad longer term contracts and that 4m lets us get a slightly worse contract and hopefully slightly better assets.
Not like the trade changes our ceiling of a first round exit anyways and I dont trust Murray to not be a cancer in the locker room
Shhh don’t tell your FO this
Murray is gonna be on his best behaviour since he’s not a complete dumbass and knows he can’t be doing this shit on a new team. Also next year is a contract year so I’m sure he’ll be fine as well.
I mean he’s publicly requesting a trade after being one of the worst players on one of the worst teams. They’ve gone 3-0 without him and 1-9 with him and his plus minus is terrible.
Im not so sure he’s not a complete dumbass and locker room cancer at this point. Its not like he has seasons of great play to give hope to him being anything.
Tons of teams lining up for a cry baby diva who isn’t even that good anymore.
A trade request 12 games into the season is pretty rare. Vibes must be truly terrible in New Orleans.
The vibes don’t even seem that bad other than this nutcase. And when he wasn’t playing, the team was winning and had good synergy.
4-0 without him, winless with him playing
It’s genuinely one of the craziest stats of this season I think. Tonight is the barometer—it we win tonight we might be championship contenders.
Ok let’s slow down a bit now lol
The fourth game was with him. 3-0 and 1-8
He’s definitely establishing himself as a legit “addition by subtraction” guy.
Literally 3 weeks ago I was excited that people don’t know this team is really fun and I can go see games for less than the cost of a Po-boy.
Then he came back and they started getting frustrating again. And now it seems to be infecting the rest of the team.
Pelicans Austin Rivers flair acknowledged
Murray is a fucking moron. I’m going to guess if there are bad vibes, it’s coming from him. He shot his mouth off in San Antonio and Atlanta also.
That dude on twitter must have really pissed him off
Hes the guy making vibes bad
I think this is a Murray problem. The dude has barely played the last couple seasons and thinks he has any leverage to pull this?
Bro was born to be a Sacramento King
lol my first thought too.
He’s gonna be wearing purple in a couple of years
Now this makes a lot more sense than the Heat.
Can the Pels refuse paying him? If he refuses working it seems fair. What if they just bench him for the rest of the season?
Yeah happened with Ben Simmons
Yep. Failure to perform services. Conduct detrimental. Etc.
Our FO messed up a lot but his on & off court behavior really did the franchise a solid giving us a get out of jail free option that didn’t exist before
100%. He could’ve just kept up the act and pocketed $60m+ but now he wants to blow it all up to protect his ego
Indeed. Currently happening to Porzingis in GS.
Man, dude just seems like an aggressively unlikeable guy
Dude clearly joined the Team USA hockey group chat
Then you don’t get paid lmao
Shit is lame for the fans. I wish players understood that without fans, there wouldn’t be a league.
I’d assume whatever pelicans fans are left would be cool with Dejounte not playing
Yes. The 12 of us see this as a positive turn of events. We would like to get to expectation-free basketball and complaining about the Saints O-line until we start talking about the Draft again
Yeah this is best case scenario right now. He’s sucked and has given negative effort out there
We’re 1-8 when he plays and 3-0 when he doesn’t.
True. But I can’t imagine too many people are Dejounte Murray fans. I can’t believe that the the Spurs and Hawks got assets for him, especially the Hawks.
I legit think spurs saw this a mile away and was gonna dump him even before the ACL. Dude is a nutcase that lacks the awareness to realize where he is talent wise to the relation of the league. Dude is a very oft injured with about as bad of injury history as anyone in the league, that is a non-shooting point guard who’s calling card was playing good defense has been gone since leaving the spurs.
Dude is delusional.
Spurs for sure noticed the question marks. There were murmurs about these concerns as soon as he was traded. I am guessing a lot of teams saw red flags based on where he was drafted versus where many thought he should be drafted (but maybe those were mostly basketball related).
I’m surprised the Spurs ever had him. He was a nutcase before making it to the league and they’ve GENERALLY avoided these players.
shit bruh I wish the fuckin league understood that. the way they seem to treat fans as a secondary (or even tertiary) factor compared to advertisers and networks is insane
The NBA has effectively been turned into those randomized animated horse races that people can gamble on. It’s no longer about the sport.
Nobody’s going to the arena to watch Dejonte Murray cmon
It might actually be good for the fans because sometimes fans need a villain.
He has been lame for the fans, this is actually the first thing he has done Pelicans fans are excited about.
Do Pelicans have fans?
I’m not holding it against him. New Orleans is arguably the worst managed franchise and has been for over a decade+. Even Zion, while he has had his own issues in his time there, is always very PR-friendly talking to the media and even his media sessions are showing a lot of contempt with the organization and team. I’m not gonna fault a player for wanting to play meaningful basketball when a franchise has shown for years how unserious they are, just with their decision making.
If their ownership doesn’t want shit like this happening they should look in the mirror and reevaluate their front office and completely clean house. It’s been known this has needed to happen.
I’m hopeful for Pelicans fans that something like this actually makes positive changes to the organization.
Lol we just did that. And then hired Joe Fucking Dumars.
DJM leaving is already a positive change for the organization. Nobody likes him and he sucks
What are you talking about.Fans love this shit, this is the drama that gets clicks.Now I bet more people are going to tune into pelicans games to see if he’s there and see how the team reacts with him gone and see what the team says about him. Etc
Lots of stuff are lame as fans such as so many ads during the game but it’s a business first and foremost. Players, coaches, teams etc all have money as their top priority, only ones who don’t are the fans.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is a cis rant ad? I know what all three of those words mean, but couldn’t imagine the scenario where they’re used in context with basketball fans.
I think it was a typo for “constant”
Yeah, that has to be some weird autocorrect lol.
Meant to say many ads.
Sorry to all 3 pelicans fans
Congrats on the improvement, Pelicans fans.
Aight I totally believe that was his burner account that was discovered now😭
Connor Hellebuyck walked so Dejoutne Murray could run
Did injuries ruin him or did he just never pan out the way people expected?
All 11 Pelicans fans rejoiced
its 11 because it turns out the 12th was just Murray’s burner
What a head case diva
