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.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Portland Trail Blazers have signed head coach Chauncey Billups to a contract extension. He was finishing his fourth season, which was his last guaranteed contract year.

Per the reporting of Chris Haynes, the extension will run him through the 2027-28 season.

“I’m just so happy, with what we’ve done and where I think we can go,” Billups said. “So much promise here. I’m pumped about it.”

“I just feel very good about where we’re at, and now I understand how long it takes to build a culture. I feel like we’ve done that,” Billups said. “I think the tell tale of that, for any coaches, is if at some point when your team kind of takes on your personality and how you believe the game should be played, I think you’ve gotten there.”

According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, at no point after Jason Kidd found out about the Luka Doncic trade did he try to stop the deal. It appeared he had no intentions of throwing himself in the middle to keep his franchise player in Dallas.

When the trade happened, Kidd publicly said he wasn’t involved in trading Doncic. Beyond that, he said Nico Harrison didn’t tell him until the eleventh hour.

“The trade was made and J-Kidd says he didn’t know about it until the eleventh hour, I’ll just say my understanding is he didn’t exactly toss himself in front of the oncoming train to try to prevent it from happening,” said Tim MacMahon on The Hoop Collective Podcast.

Since trading Doncic, Dallas finds themselves as a bottom-feeding team with a record of 38-42. Despite the injuries and numerous trades made, they found a way to claim the tenth seed in the Western Conference.

The Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns have been eliminated from playoff/Play-In contention.
