Should the Pelicans move on from Willie Green?

[DLoMor]

What do you guys think? Seems like the Pelicans are trapped, like they can’t really improve or decline with this current roster so idk what will happen. Maybe they need to do a full on rebuild again? Idk

[ChipotleWest]

They can have Jason Kidd.

[jkvonny]

No

[JustBuzzin]

Wait you expected them to beat OKC without Zion?

[sfernald]

No, they need to build this team around Zion. Trade Ingram for better 3 point shooters.

Zion plus three point shooters all around would be a revelation. I love Herb, Naji and Murphy. Murphy should start.

Give Willie the right personnel before you kick him to the curb.He’s good. Some other team will snag him instantly if they do.

WTF

Year 1: 36-46
Year 2: 42-40
Year 3: 49-33

What on earth are you talking about? They've improved by leaps and bounds every year.

You really do make some brain dead threads my man.

Yes, i wrote a post after first 2 months, in january, after all-star break, before the play-in and this team had same problems over and over again.

This series had nothing to do with it, Thunder are bettwr team.

Willie is a great guy, i qould love to have him as defensive assistant, but he is not a HC in this league, he is just too nice of a guy.

As high as i am on Zion, you cannot seriously have watched this series and come away thinking he gets us over the top here. We got swept and didnt score 100 points once

This is a David Griffin issue primarily. He's the ultimate grifter of a gm (no pun intended). Basically doesnt want to build around our best player because it gives him psycho flashbacks of being in LeGM's shadow in Cleveland

We've come into the play-in all of those years lol, who cares about barely squeking into the playoffs and getting bounced early every year? "But at least our win total went up steadily every year of the regular season!"

he might not have put them over the top- but he gives any team fits. He is so strong and athletic that basically nobody can guard him

Your expectations are way too high.

Who the hell do you think yall should hire to replace Green (doing a great job and NO is injury proned)??

Do you know how many close games the Pelicans lost? If you haven't watched much of the Pelicans just say so instead of just looking at their record and assuming he's a good coach.

[zero rings]

Idk but they should 100% trade Ingram

Ive watched a lot of their games. Hes a good coach. They had lots of injuries as well. Finished with 49 wins (that would be top seed most years in the West). Should they have had 53 win? 3 seed?

Who do you think that they should hire to replace Green?
Ham? Doc Rivers?

Not sure how good a coach Green is, on surface, looks like he does a good job.

I just want to say how I hate this asinine "argument". "I watch the games" therefore I know more. Same as "I play basketball, therefore I know better than nerds".

Its not an argument. Argument would be something you would share that actually made you realize from watching or playing games. Gotta love people who all like, I watch and play therefore I know better, while not actually sharing what is exactly what they know...

Since you so well informed and have strong opinion, you can actually share your analysis what Wille Green does badly. This is why we have topics. And I swear if its "rotations"...

Every team loses close games all the time. What is the team that notoriously win most of their close games, maybe Denver?

[SNPA]

Zion for Sabonis

[TheNewEra]

ingram was beyond imagination bad. Need to move on

[Dubious Handles]

Zion is perma injured and Ingram is fools gold, tough situation but you gotta build around Zion and pray for the best

[PlatinumState]

Willie isnt the problem. Ingram is. He's a whole lot of nothing, owed 36 million next season. Zion played a record 70 games this season its bad timing he got injured in the play in
