    Pelicans fans want Willie Green fired, Brandon Ingram traded after Thunder playoff sweep

    The New Orleans Pelicans reached the end of the road of their 2023-24 NBA campaign, and their fans are not happy with how the season ended for the team. It took the Oklahoma City Thunder just four games to take care of business against New Orleans in the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. Save for Game 1 of the series, the Pelicans looked thoroughly outclassed by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Bolts in the series, which concluded Monday night when Oklahoma City came away with a 97-89 victory in Game 4. New Orleans fans always knew that the Pelicans would have a tough time versus the Thunder especially since Zion Williamson could not join his team on the court because of an injury he suffered in the Play-in Tournament.

    Willie Green got a contract extension last year. He wasn't the only one who was extended.

    Willie Green is nearing the end of his third season in charge as the New Orleans Pelicans coach. “While Green was hired in July 2021, league sources say Green has multiple years remaining on an extension that had not been previously reported,” The Athletic's Sam Amick wrote Monday. According to league sources, Green received his contract extension last year. The trio of Griffin, Langdon and Green is aligned contractually, meaning that the expectation is that the Pelicans continue moving forward with much of the same power structure that has been in place over the last three years.
