Big changes are coming to the New Orleans Pelicans but one thing needs to happen first
After a playoff sweep big changes are coming to the New Orleans Pelicans this offseason. Jake Madison makes sense of what David Griffin said about the Pels direction this offseason. But big changes won’t happen unless ownership commits to potentially paying the luxury tax. Jake also thinks the big changes aren’t trading Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, or CJ McCollum.

Should’ve traded BI 3 years ago
Fire Griffin for his mismanagement
Unless the Pelicans commit to spending beyond the luxury tax by the trade deadline, I cannot see remaing a fan after that. Don't tell us that you are determined to win and then go cheap on a roster that can't and won't win.
embarrassing playoffs. No fire, no heart, no sense of urgency
They need to get rid of Zion's big fragile ass
Maybe we should be in the East. Shorter travel and we can be a 4-5 seed. Put a team in Seattle and set us free! 😂
B.I / Trae
CJ / decent center
Every dayer comment
Trade Willie because the small ball doesn’t work and we didn’t use Jordan and ej liddel as well
Great show! Love the new intro
Is there a group or is it just Gayle Benson in charge of the Saints and Pelicans? Who does Benson go to for advice? She doesn't know anything about business or sports, she was gifted this franchise.
Bring BI off the bench?
It’s incumbent on ownership to up the ante in order for this team to go to the next level.I think BI came back from injury too early and it was to the detriment of the team. It was compounded by the injury to Zion. However, I’m of the opinion that coaching played a major role in the late season collapse.
Everyday listener here as well Jake!
Every dayer!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭
Hot little change to the show intro!
I only watched Z's end of season interview. Mught watch a few other ones because of Locked on Pels episode today .
Every dayer
This show needs a co-host. A ex-NBA player for credibility
Worse owner, worse management and terrible coach = failure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How long do they need to see that BI, CJ, and Zion don't work. Stevie Wonder can see that!
Whadya know, the only two franchises that have never made it to a conference finals have never paid the luxury tax either 😂
I'm hoping we make a bigger move than signing Zeller like last season 🏀🇬🇧
Dyson at point
Please trade BI to Gsw and gv the key to street clothes Z 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Let's see, Houston was nothing until VanVleet
Minnesota didn't come together until Conley
Indiana was barely afloat until Haliburton.
New York didn't take off until Brunson.
The Clippers didn't jell until Hardin.
And, Memphis is nothing without Morvant.
You can build the fastest Formula One in history, but if you have no driver, the car's useless.
POINT GUARD!!! POINT GUARD!!! POINT GUARD!!!
This is why I want to see if Dyson can beat out Herb for his spot. Defense is there. Brings facilitating to the starting line up. Can he attack the rim and create for others, will be the question if he can. If the answer is yes, it’s a move you don’t have to go out and make.
A healthy LONZO BALL might be what the doctor ordered..
And No, this is NOT Lavar Ball!
BTW..CJ as the 6th man next year should be the move
Revisit convos with Dejounte Murray?
Trading BI is really the only real answer now. You cant say were gonna make some big moves, but then say you expect Z, BI, and CJ to all be back next year. If they're all back, we didn't make any big moves
