I’d rather reporters ask about this instead of “falling ratings” or all star formats whenever Adam Silver is in public. They’re doing a disservice to the community they’re trying so hard to entrench themselves into by looking the other way. Charlotte and even Sac to a lesser extent, too.

Bleak read.

Shades of bringing back Byron Scott after the Denver series, only to fire him 10ish games into the next season.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

If i was a Pels fan/believed in giving my money to Substack this would be a must get. Appreciate the insight

fearthebrown.bsky.social•66 days ago

Thank you. Did I miss some recent news about Substack?

okafork.bsky.social•66 days ago

This is probably just a me thing honestly. Know they platform nazis and white supremacists even though it’s against their terms. Trying to be better this year on what i give my money to. But gladly watch yalls YouTube show when it drops so thanks for posting here!

fearthebrown.bsky.social•66 days ago

Appreciate that thank you. Honestly I didn't know that about them. Sucks to find out.

Every platform is gonna have their own “group” or extremist so until web 3 is a real thing and everyone can fork their own platform and get paid in micropayments or whatever, there’s only so much you can do. Independent journalism needs a home and just cause others poison theirs, you do you.

I’ve always thought the franchise was cursed

I now realize that it is actually three raccoons in a trench coat, pretending to be a franchise

This post was 🔥

pelicanfever.bsky.social•66 days ago

Great article! I imagine everyone that reads that strongly considers no longer investing any money or time on this franchise.

Great read Shamit. Thanks for covering this team so well.

ericrmusic.bsky.social•66 days ago

I once had hope…..

theunrestcure.bsky.social•66 days ago

Man, we went from a disappointing season to the season of disappointment. Endless pain …

timwearing.bsky.social•66 days ago

If I’m Cooper Flagg and the Pelicans win the lottery, I’m going back to Duke. Of course, same goes if Charlotte or Washington wins. Those franchises are perpetually doomed.

markrichard3324.bsky.social•66 days ago

Great piece dude. You deserve a ton of props for your reporting. This is the second straight season where the pelicans have telegraphed their intent to trade a cornerstone player. Can’t help but think that hurts their leverage in negotiations. Just another sign of incompetence and dysfunction.

Rough read but good job my guy

chrislap.bsky.social•66 days ago

Phenomenal piece from Shamit. Willie has been dealt an awful hand 3 of the 4 yrs he’s been in Nola and won 49 gms the year his hand was ok. But he by no means has made the most of what he’s been given so if he’s lost the locker room (Trey, Herb, Dejounte, Yves) then you gotta move on.

njav1ral.bsky.social•66 days ago

Makes me sad to read this. I’m not sure how much longer I can take being a fan of this franchise. Especially if Willie is coach, Zion is gone (in this manner), our pick is bad and Benson is the owner.

mrblahablaha.bsky.social•66 days ago

Thanks for summing it up I think as fans we’re all on the same page. We’ve matured a bit more since the dell demps era and you’ve done a good job of representing us.

sghoet597.bsky.social•66 days ago

Why does it feel like they are just riding out for that Expansion check and selling soon after?

lakerships.bsky.social•66 days ago

League needs to take it from them so it doesn’t happen. Expansion is years and years away. But nobody is brining any light to it until there’s real rebellion and action by a fanbase that’s fed up

sabreenajm.bsky.social•65 days ago

This was excellent

fearthebrown.bsky.social•65 days ago

Thank you!

icebirdmail.bsky.social•66 days ago

If they trade Zion, could they trade Trey and Herb with him as a package (I like the Spurs as a destination) so I could follow all the players I like on another team? If the Pels want to be mediocre, they should just fully lean into being a low-salary team that rents out cap space for draft picks.
