Grizzlies fan here, saw this knowing Memphis and Grizz are also currently negotiating lease renewal and it’s not going anywhere and I think their lease expires the same as Pels…
It’s inevitable but everyone wants to stick their head in the sand.
End of the day, organization is trash. Fan base will never really get around them as they will never have a reason to. I’m numb to it. They can go and that’s cool.
Unless you’ve got news Gayle Benson has died, this is just Bill Simmons talking out of his ass. The team is not going anywhere while she’s still breathing.
man you know how great life would be right now if the dude we drafted back in 2019 just stayed healthy. none of this talk would be happening. here we thought the future was bright after the 2022 playoffs and briefly being the first seed the season after. but here we are back to relocation talks
Man I hate off-season sports media.
The team hasn’t been competitive for the most part. They have all of the support when they are winning. Who wants to spend money to be frustrated and disappointed
Bill Simmons is such a dipshit.
Fuck Bill Simons! He has a hate boner for us, always has. First it was we HAD to trade A.D. to the Celtics, now it’s Zion. Dude is a bum.
Bill Simmons lying about new Orleans sports again.
Jazz were in town for 5 years. Hornets moved here in 2002.
His math ain’t fucking mathing
Everyone in here defending the pelicans, but what the fuck have the Pelicans done to deserve our defense other than their location? Seriously?
They don’t listen to the fans on hirings, ownership supports pedophiles, the stadium isn’t the nicest, the GM is an idiot, we retain a coach we hate. Seriously, why do we defend this franchise other than loyalty to a logo?
His know nothing ass didn’t say a word about the browns or lions sucking for 50 years but here comes the loser again trying to punch New Orleans sports
On tomorrow’s show, Bill Simmons discusses why the 2014-15, 25-57 Boston Celtics would have beaten the 73-9 Warriors.
First time in history r/nba is defending the Pelicans.
Respectfully, Bill Simmons can get fucked
Cool, fuck everything about Bill Simmons. Dude ain’t got shit to say so tries to rag on every team except the Celtics.
Bill Simmons giving a negative take on the Pelicans?? Whaaat?? Color me shocked!
Bill Simmons is a dumbazz fuck him
The Warriors were just as bad for just as long, until they turned it around.
You can hate this take all you want, but the fact remains that this is a terrible franchise. Poorly run, injury riddled, terrible coach, insanely poor hire in Joe Dumars, retaining maybe the worst coach in the league because Gayle doesn’t want to spend any more money, one playoff series win in the last decade. It’s not ridiculous to think that maybe this franchise would be better off somewhere else.
Honestly just end my suffering and let me stop caring about the worst of the big 3 American sports leagues tbh
F$&@ that; just contract the Celtics and call it a day.
