Pelicans fire Griffin, eye Dumars as top executive
Dumars 是值得期待的人選，但不管是誰當總管，先做好選秀規劃吧！鵜鶘未來的是核心還會不會是胖虎？

New Orleans Pelicans 選秀：毫無疑問，找 Zion 的幫手！
第 7 順位的鵜鶘，選誰，還要看第 5、6 順位的爵士與巫師，才能下定論。但我覺得鵜鶘的最佳選擇是杜克的中鋒 Khaman Maluach。
身材的高度，正是鵜鶘隊最需要的人手，僅管去年，已選進了 Yves Missi，但兩名長人仍有不同。Maluach 最被低估的是投射能力，這點，是可拉開禁區對手防線的利器。
Y. Missi 是守優於攻，Maluach 則是更全面的長人。有球評不看好他的耐打度，甚至將他放在首輪中段。對於連續 2 年都挑長人的決策，其實，也不難，就是選 Maluach 來搭配這位杜克的學長 Z. Williamson。
若 Maluach 提早被選，我覺得鵜鶘仍有 Kon Knueppel 可挑。但這杜克雙人都被爵士與巫師雙雙攔截，至少還有 Tre Johnson 這名得分手可挑。
本季，鵜鶘好不容易得到正牌控衛 Dejounte Murray，沒想到只打了 31 場，竟骨折報銷。另一個後場大將 C. McCollum 也只出賽 56 場。新球季，只要這兩人健康，後場有很大的保障。
小前鋒也有雙保險，就是 Herb Jones 與 Trey Murphy，不管誰先發，都是可輪流發揮。
鵜鶘的新賽季，要著重在板凳深度，也許，可考慮續簽 Bruce Brown。但若留不下，就得期待菜鳥群的成長。
二年級的砍將 Jordan Hawkins ，得擔當領袖，多練組織，帶領長人 Yves Missi 與 Karlo Matkovic，再加上 Antonio Reeves 去夏聯磨練。Jordan Hawkins 與 Antonio Reeves 能把外線練得更穩，對來年鵜鶘的深度是一大幫助。

Pelicans want to make things work with Zion Williamson
據報導，Zion Williamson 能出席選秀抽籤之夜，就是球團重燃對 Zion 的信心。
One of the more underrated and undercovered storylines of last Monday’s lottery: The Pelicans asked Zion Williamson to be their on-stage representative. It didn’t lead to anything more than New Orleans scoring the seventh overall pick, but league sources insist that it was a significant development.
Amid no shortage of speculation about the Pelicans deciding to outright shop Williamson for the first time after six frustration-filled seasons, sources say that the lottery assignment was indeed intended to convey the message that New Orleans’ new front office, now headed by Louisiana native Joe Dumars, wants to try again to make things work with Williamson as the team’s centerpiece.

Joe Dumars 入主鵜鶘後，也許會做出回應，打造與過去幾年不一樣的感覺。

Zion Williamson sued over sexual assault, kidnapping allegations
我覺得 Zion Williamson 最後的結果會沒事，但惹得一身腥！
A woman has accused New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson of rape in addition to "sexual, physical, emotional and financial" abuse over the span of a multiyear relationship, according to a lawsuit submitted to Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday.
The woman, who is identified as Jane Doe, accuses Williamson of a "continuing pattern of abusive, controlling and threatening behavior" over the course of a relationship that started during Williamson's freshman year at Duke and lasted from 2018 to 2023.
管不了小頭，要拿錢來付。

The New Orleans Pelicans are trading CJ McCollum, Kelly Olynyk and a future second-round pick to the Washington Wizards for Jordan Poole, Saddiq Bey and the No. 40 pick in Wednesday's NBA draft, sources tell ESPN's Shams Charania.
看不懂鵜鶘的目的？年輕化？
The Wizards shift from Poole to the veteran McCollum, who has an expiring contract. Washington now is expected to approach $100 million in projected cap space in 2026. The Pelicans get younger with the additions of Poole and Bey.
Poole led the Wizards in scoring last season, pouring in 20.5 points per game to go along with 3.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in 68 starts.
Bey missed the entire season while recovering from a torn left ACL.
Bey 滿血回歸的話，鵜鶘還有賺，至於，Poole，我不敢想像。

Sources: Longtime Warriors C Looney joining Pels
Free agent center Kevon Looney, a three-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors, has agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
Looney, 29, has spent his entire 10-year career with the Warriors, who selected him with the 30th overall pick out of UCLA in the 2015 NBA draft.
原本鵜鶘無中鋒，從選秀挑一個 Derik Queen，自由市場又找一個 Kevon Looney 和堪薩斯大學落選的 Hunter Dickinson。

Pelicans, Jones agree to 3-year, $68M extension，大鎖，鎖定。
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herb Jones has agreed to a three-year, $68 million contract extension with the franchise, representatives Mark Bartelstein and Kieran Piller of Priority Sports told ESPN.
The 26-year-old has risen from a second-round pick in the 2021 NBA draft to a two-way stalwart for the Pelicans, being named to the 2023-24 All-Defensive first team. He is one of eight players with 350 steals and 150 blocks since he entered the league. Jones has ranked in the top 10 in defense against isolations over the past two seasons among players to defend 150 isolations, per GeniusIQ.
Jones also shot a career-best 42% on 3-pointers in 2023-24. He played only 20 games last season due to shoulder/labrum injuries, which were the fewest in a season in his career.
準先發，但更可能是擔任第六人，除非教練安排 Zion Williamson 當先發中鋒，這也並非不可能。
