David Griffin has taken lead of the New Orleans Pelicans one year after the franchise experienced the highs of a playoff series win over the Portland Trail Blazers. His hiring has been seen as a sign that Gayle Benson will no longer run the Pelicans as one of the NBA’s most frugal operations. The Pelicans have a few more weeks until the most important offseason deadlines, so it will be interesting to see how the front office tries to turn things around.
Many that cheered for the tank job process wanted the reward of a higher draft pick.
