This season has been anything but for the Big Easy. They entered the season with hopes of being outside playoff contenders. But fast forward to April- they ended 21-61, one of four 60-loss teams in the NBA this year. Injuries have been their Achilles’ heel, with Zion Williamson being the poster boy of regular hospital attendees. And to top it all off- their director of basketball operations, David Griffin, has been fired. This has begun the silly season at New Orleans- apparently, Zion and HC Willie Green are linked to a move away. So let’s break it down.
None of these decisions will be confirmed without a new director at the helm. They’re without one for the first time in six years, so they will be looking closely at a competent basketball brain to take them on the ascendency. Willie Green is still their manager, and his fate will be decided by the new director. But the silly season puts a spotlight on the players more than the manager. You know what this means- we gotta have a talk about Zion Williamson.
