At media day, I asked Joe Dumars about the Pelicans’ sweeping FO changes. I clarified twice that I meant front office staff. He said, “I’m not sure who you’re talking about,” and answered about coaches. After I named medical and analytics, he cited alignment. Full exchange:

How could the head coach be so wrong. Not only is it impossible to sell tickets here, local businessmen don’t like the politics. Won’t someone think of the real fans, private equity?!

burning bridges with marcus smart just to turn around and sign collin sexton is…very on-brand for this lakers front office www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/rocke...

Marcus Smart to the Houston Chronicle: “First off, I played so well that the offer that was ultimately given didn’t match the way that I played,” he said, “especially when you see guys who played way worse than I did, the offers they’re getting. And then it wasn’t any security that we wanted that they were willing to do.”
