“The Pelicans Are Playing Chess, Not Checkers 👀 | The REAL Reason Joe Dumars Decided to Hold Firm!
The Pelicans trading Jose Alvarado wasn’t just a roster tweak — it was a signal. A loud one. New Orleans is quietly shifting from emotional favorites to cold, calculated roster optimization, and that tells us a lot about what’s coming next.
Alvarado embodied the grit-and-grind identity fans loved: relentless defense, momentum-swinging energy, and a crowd favorite every time he checked in. But as valuable as that spark was, the front office clearly decided that emotional value no longer outweighs structural needs.
This trade suggests the Pelicans are prioritizing size, spacing, and lineup flexibility over redundancy in the backcourt. With CJ McCollum, Trey Murphy, and Herb Jones already absorbing perimeter minutes, Alvarado became a luxury — not a necessity.

Trey Murphy is a role player. He is a player you build WITH not AROUND

Nothing but Love will be scoping you out your show more to see what your all about every man deserves a chance, my observation is this team needs a proven wining Coach Jose would have been a better ball player with a good Coach him and Herb taking them long 3`s that`s playground basketball there position is placed bad Jose was trash as a shooter his place as Herb is to play defense get rebounds and do assist it`s not about role models, but a winning Coach.
