New Orleans Pelicans HIRE Jamahl Mosley! | Did They FINALLY Get It Right? | James Skrmetta Reacts

The New Orleans Pelicans have officially hired Jamahl Mosley as their new head coach, and James Skrmetta is breaking down EVERYTHING you need to know about the move. Is this the right hire for Zion Williamson and the future of the Pelicans? Could Jamahl Mosley be the coach who finally brings stability and a winning culture to New Orleans basketball?

In this video, James Skrmetta reacts to the Pelicans hiring former Orlando Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley to a reported five-year contract. After leading the Orlando Magic to three straight playoff appearances and building one of the NBA’s best defensive teams, Mosley now takes over a talented but inconsistent Pelicans roster featuring Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy III, Dejounte Murray, Jordan Poole, Herbert Jones, Derik Queen, Jeremiah Fears, and Yves Missi.

James breaks down:
🏀 Why the Pelicans targeted Jamahl Mosley
🏀 What Mosley accomplished with the Orlando Magic
🏀 How Mosley’s defensive philosophy fits New Orleans
🏀 What this means for Zion Williamson’s future
🏀 Joe Dumars’ vision for the Pelicans
🏀 Whether this hire can finally change the culture in New Orleans
🏀 Expectations for the Pelicans heading into the 2026 NBA season

The Pelicans are coming off a disappointing 26-56 season, but this move signals a major shift toward player development, defensive toughness, and long-term team building. Can Jamahl Mosley unlock the potential of this young Pelicans core and return New Orleans to playoff contention in the Western Conference?
