New Orleans Pelicans organizational dysfunction reaches crisis levels as the team sits at 0-6 with three losses by 30+ points, yet head coach Willie Green remains employed. Is this incompetence or calculated scapegoating by the front office?

Jake Madison delivers a blistering critique of the Pelicans' refusal to make a coaching change despite the team appearing to have quit on Willie Green. The discussion examines what the franchise can still salvage this season, including developing rookies Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen, increasing Zion Williamson's trade value, and determining Trey Murphy's ceiling. Madison explores internal power dynamics with executive Joe Dumars, analyzes the growing perception crisis facing the franchise, and explains why the long-term outlook isn't catastrophic if the front office can be trusted with asset management.

Tune in for an unflinching analysis of how the New Orleans Pelicans are wasting a critical opportunity to reset their season and why delaying the inevitable coaching change only makes everything worse.
