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 )
Has Pelicans ownership quiet quit on fans?
1) no promotional calendar for season
2) stopped having open Pelicans NBA draft watch parties and quietly started hosting closed door local food influencer ones (like 40 people)
3) no marketing for new team slogan. Just #pelicans
I somehow hadn’t connected the dots between the ~$49M Kawhi got from Aspiration and that being the difference between the max the Clippers could offer and the max that the Raptors could offer to this point. I literally smacked my forehead when that was spelled out today, lmao.
Mickey Loomis fireable offenses, in no order
1. Trading up for Johnathan Sullivan
2. Trading up for Marcus Davenport
3. Trading for the Trevor Penning pick
4. The Jairus Byrd contract
5. Hiring the 8-28 coach
6. Refusing to fire the 26-53 coach
1/???
In 2022 Kawhi Leonard played in 26% of games due to “right knee stiffness” before the reported $1.75M delayed payment was made by Aspiration
The day after it was deposited, Leonard went on to play 82% of the Clippers total games to close out the season

By simply being in this post, Kawhi has done more to endorse the US Open than he has the company who paid him $50 million to allegedly be their spokesperson.
