What's next for Saints if Tyler Shough is "the guy?"

DO NOT LET FOLKS GASLIGHT YALL INTO THINKING JORDAN DUMARS IS QUALIFIED TO BE IN A FRONT OFFICE ROLE EVEN AS A CONSULTANT. THIS IS HIS COLLEGE STATS. HE DIDN’T PLAY A SINGLE GAME FOR MICHIGAN AND ON 6 IN TOTAL.

Also shoutout to Shamit not only did I find out Dumars son is on staff i guarantee I and a bunch of folks just found out Troy Weaver’s son is also on staff. Franchise is rotten at its core right now.

These types of things are why no form of nepotism will be ok with me. It’s bad process and it almost never works.

The Pelicans' New Basketball Operations Consultant As Troy Weaver runs day-to-day operations, the unexplained involvement of Joe Dumars' son adds a new layer of ambiguity to the team's chain of command

NEW: For weeks, a mysterious figure was embedded in the Pelicans' inner circle. The team now confirms Jordan Dumars, son of EVP Joe Dumars, is a "Basketball Operations Consultant."

My story on the opaque power structure in NOLA:

Fire Patrick Beverley into the sun. He's been telling on himself for years, but I would bet my life that this isn't the first time he's physically assaulted a child *or* a woman.

Anyone that can strangle and assault their 15-year-old sister isn't someone that should be walking around free.

Folks truly don’t understand how BLEAK it is for the Pelicans now and next year. They can blow it up but what can they get that will make them better? And can/would you trust the people making the decisions and trades to make the team better?

Fully expect for the files to be altered so that Trump nor any right wing figure is implicated.

It’s only November, man.

A Preventable Disaster: How Pelicans' Indecision Torpedoed a Season Before It Began A locker room that quit, a staff bracing for the axe, and a firing that changes nothing

Big day in Pelicans land. I'll be attending practice later to see if we get Dumars or just Borrego. We'll do a live podcast around 3p in the afternoon.

Meanwhile check out these two pieces I wrote.

Love the way the rookies played in the second half but that lineup has absolutely no spacing.

I’m going to say it and try not to complain too much over the season cause I don’t see it changing much but I hate the Zion with the bench players lineup. Give that man some shooting when he’s on the floor at all times. Trey’s minutes would be handcuffed to Z’s if I was Willie.

cracking up at the commentary on this Furphy poster slam (via Pacers)

Really happy for Helena it was time for a change from the tragic tenure of the last regime.

I really want these people to go read a goddamn book and understand why these types of things are necessary in this racist ass shit hole country

On Fox News, the anchor Will Cain choked up on-air as he read aloud President Trump's announcement of the death of Charlie Kirk. "I don't know where we go from here as a news program," Mr. Cain told viewers, "and I don't know where we go from here in America." Megyn Kelly, streaming live on YouTube, was tearful even before the news was confirmed, sobbing with her guest, Glenn Beck of The Blaze. She described Mr. Kirk as a friend who supported her even when her relations with the MAGA world were strained. "I am so sorry to be bringing you this news," Ms. Kelly told her audience. Later

They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

Having grown up in this era, it's weird to me seeing these so-called patriots rooting for & supporting Russia.

People keep telling me to listen to a bill Simmons podcast and I’ve never gotten anything of value from listening to his whiney, nasally, trash ass Boston voice. I hate when people like him talk about shit he don’t know shit about. I hate that fucking dude bruh.

I've said it two different articles now, but the Pelicans need to pay the piper and go get a real starting center.

Missi, Karlo, Looney is in contention for worst center rotation in the league. One injury to that group and it almost assuredly is.

No point in letting the inevitable happen
