No. 1 pick Sabrina Ionescu inks multiyear deal with Nike

The New Orleans Pelicans are wrapping up one of the worst seasons in franchise history. That has some believing that front office leader David Griffin and head coach Willie Green could be wrapping up their tenures with the team.

Griffin took over the Pelicans front office in April of 2019. Under his leadership, New Orleans has made two playoff appearances and has had two winning seasons.

Green led the team to both of those playoff appearances and both winning seasons. However, in four years on the sidelines, Green has gone 148-179 overall.

It’s unclear where Pelicans ownership, led by Gayle Benson, stands on the futures of Griffin and Green. There has been tension in the organization in recent years. That’s arisen from transactions Griffin has made and some of Green’s playing time decisions.
