New Orleans Pelicans: Why are the Pels so dysfunctional?

It seems like not a day goes by where there isn’t a new rumor or some type of drama surrounding the New Orleans Pelicans.

Last season it was all about Lonzo Ball, and the Pels played the “will they, won’t they” game until eventually orchestrating a sign-and-trade with the Bulls for little return.

David Griffin blew that one, as he should have traded Lonzo the second he realized he didn’t want to pay him $20 million a season.

We’ve also heard myriad rumors about Zion Williamson, how his family was upset with the way the New Orleans Pelicans handled his injuries and how he might be looking to change teams.
