David Griffin, Willie Green Could Be Terminated This Offseason

According to Marc Stein, the New Orleans Pelicans are wrapping up a very underwhelming, injury-riddled season and could be expected to make some personnel changes.

The current front office leader, David Griffin, has had his actions called into question. Current owner, Gayle Benson, has questioned Griffin’s decision-making in transactions made over his tenure.

For Green, who is their current head coach, Benson has questioned how he operates his game-to-game rotations/lineups. Cobble that with his overall coaching record of 148-179, his four-year tenure may be coming to an end.

Despite winning two seasons and going to the postseason, Benson may make a change to how things are ran in New Orleans. This would target both Green and Griffin.

Most recently, the Denver Nuggets fired general manager Calvin Booth and head coach Michael Malone. Plus, the Memphis Grizzlies fired head coach Taylor Jenkins.

New Orleans’ future will be closely monitored this upcoming offseason.
