The truth is, the whole NBA is moving away from traditional media. They’re following what everyone else is doing by capitalizing on the content creator era. If the @PelicansNBA were smart, they’d open up their space to local/regional creators. Free publicity for access. But 🤷🏾
The Pelicans went 26-56 last season and somehow followed it up with an offseason featuring no trades, no free-agent signings, and 14 of the same 15 players returning 😅
(h/t @RTNBA )
The Pelicans' 45% win rate and meager postseason success have contributed to the tepid interest. When unsuccessful, it helps to have media-friendly/savvy coaches & execs. The Pels have largely lacked those, with the exception of David Griffin & Alvin Gentry. Jamahl Mosley is a huge boost here. The Pelicans media relations team, led by Matt Ryan, has always been excellent. They can only do so much, though.
Spot on here. The Pelicans have a following of loyal, ardent fans. Unfortunately, the interest level is not large enough at this time and is reflected in the readership metrics at all of these sites. It's not about the quality of the local Pelicans coverage. Never has been.
NightCap talking about the Zion Williamson offseason:
“When Zion Williamson plays, he’s phenomenal. I wish he got more rebounds. If Charles Barkley can average double digit rebounds, so can you. He already can’t be stopped when he plays, i don’t care who you put on him. His trainer said they haven’t heard the whispers, then why does he have a weight clause? I bet LeBron doesn’t have a weigh clause.”
Ben Simmons shooting offseason 3s now has new competition.”
The Pelicans no longer have a dedicated reporter from the Athletic, ESPN, or the local paper.
Just makes me sad to reflect on.
The combination of an uninteresting team and how print media is dying across the country makes it tough for anyone to pursue this full time.
Yeeeah...not impressed with any of these dudes...
Dia falls asleep on defense and his shot selection is wild.
Zero rim protection so nah to all of these "bigs"..
#Pelicans (2-1) still have chance to advance to semifinal round, but must win today. They also almost definitely need to beat Cavs by significant margin (AKA in range of 20+). Among the 13 teams that are 2-1, Pels rank 12th in point differential (-3). But only LAL, Atl are 3-0
"Sources with knowledge of the Pelicans thinking"....
Those words right there should tell you, The "source" is not INSIDE the Pels at all...
Who TF has a anyone knows what someone is "thinking" if they not in the building??
I’ll die for New Orleans and the Pelicans you don’t get to shit talk my team at this level unless you were born here.
Insinuating that our entire staff is uneducated is so unbelievably disgusting.
