If they could go into the menu section and put this team on auto-gm, they would do it.
Hiring Joe Dumars and stripping the organization down to the bare minimum is as close to that as they can get.

re: Kamara going on Terron Armstead's show live at 6 tonight
Posted by eyeran on 5/4/26 at 6:37 pm to Chad504boy
Loomis has spent the entire offseason talking about Kamara like he's a free agent, when he's not.
Kamara's doing a clever job of being business as usual, talking about getting back in town, meeting the rookies, etc.
He's clearly not considering retirement and probably won't accept a pay cut, so he's going to force Loomis to decide whether or not he wants to get rid of a Saints legend who's just showing up to work.

As soon as he got fired everyone in NBA media immediately started mentioning the Pelicans. Windhorst said he expects Mosely to have a job soon. Seems like a pretty open secret at this point.
The Bulls just hired their president today. That leaves the Blazers and Pelicans. The Blazers owner is so cheap he might try to have AI coach the team.

re: It is going to be a bidding war for Rondo
Posted by eyeran on 5/4/26 at 4:51 pm to Islandboy777
I don't understand why Pelicans fans are acting like Rondo is some hot commodity in coaching circles.
I like Rondo and want him to be the hire, but no one else is even considering him.

The new tanking rules probably scare that off though

Damn Rajon the a-hole and Jarret the Gentleman
What a yin and yang
Also, isn't Rondo about to be an Olympic Quarterback?
quote:Yeah why not at this point. I want this situation to be as embarrassing as possible.
Hell, Gayle can save even more money if we just have Dumars coach the team himself, like the Walrus did. Why not?
I want to see if they even replace Erin Summers and We Johnson or if they just make Andrew Lopez do pre game, halftime, sidelines, and post game.

If Dumars cleans house and gets better results with 75% of the labor and costs, you know how big of a win that is for him?
This franchise sucks with the bare minimum staffing setup. Thinking you're going to cut even more and win is insanity.
Im sorry but Joe Dumars, his child, and Troy Weaver road tripping around the country to put a team together like its 1950 is not the way to compete with OKC or Boston.
Besides, these cuts aren't about operating more efficiently anyway. Its Dumars getting rid of shite he never believed in anyway, that allows him to run upstairs to the billionaires and brag about the pocket change he saved them.

There is likely more coming within the week. While it’s unfortunate because people will likely know someone, but wholesale changes need to happen.
Seriously doubt 63 year old Joe Dumars is rushing to replenish the analytics department.

Bey has DMV connections, so he definitely wasn't a throw in.
Detroit people warned us that Weaver has a weird fetish for guys from there or that played there, and sure enough he brought in FOUR different guys from there in his first offseason here(Bey, Dickinson, Peavy, Queen). 5 if you count Poole, who was in Washington with him.
If people want to know what the roster will look like next year, literally just google guys from the DMV

I didn’t watch the whole presser but Dumars did mentioned the possibility of getting into the first round. The only way we do that is by trading Herb/Trey/Murray.

quote:Just wake me up in a decade when the Dumars era is over, because this franchise has absolutely zero chance at success under him.
"If you look at both #1 seeds, he was critical in building both of those. You look at OKC and DET right now, his print is on all of that... If you see how those guys play, its what I have been talking about, and that's why Troy was my first hire"
-- Joe Dumars on Troy Weaver
This is the most nonsensical, moronic, delusional post season presser i've ever seen. This roster is not "talented" and we aren't "close" to winning shite.
This "we have to get tougher," bullshite is just Dumars exposing that he's still trying to build a team to compete with the 89 Pistons, not win games in the 2026.
He mentions wanting to be like Boston. They dont win because they have a bunch of tough guys, They win because they have shooters wrapped around the arena. We have Trey Murphy.

Definitely need a Kennard/Spencer/Merrill type on the roster though.
No good team in the league has only 2 or 3 good shooters on the roster.
Boston's been building their roster the exact same way for a decade. Tatum and Brown surrounded by a group of white dudes from DIII schools that never miss.

Pels should move into the 21st century and find people that can actually shoot the ball
We have one shooter on the entire roster and a GM the doesn't value 3s at all.

The two most incompetent front office people in sports are running this franchise.
I have no idea why people are so excited about them trading the few guys on the roster that we know can actually play.

Derik Queen has been a disaster for the last 3/4 of the season
re: Pels vs Magic Officially Official Game Thread 4/5/26
Posted by eyeran on 4/5/26 at 8:05 pm to Delusional
Dumars was trying to trade Missi
Queen will be a decent player.
Problem is, he's an undersized, unathletic, center that thinks he's a guard.
As soon as teams actually started treating him like a guard by putting wing players on him, the big games went bye bye.
His handle is a plus for a center, but nothing wing defenders cant handle. He's gonna have improve the handle and shoot the 3 much better to play the styles he's trying to play.

I for one, am super excited that Ren and Stimpy traded the opportunity at a generational player for the gift of watching Derik Queen fellate his mouth piece every night.
Atlanta's won 19 of their last 22 btw.

Nobody in the entire Pels building should be back next year. Coaches, players, front office, janitors...
But alas. We have the two worst front office guys in the sport joining forces to run the team.

So tired of watching Queen chew on his mouth piece and wave his finger around, bitching for calls every game.
