When there's smoke, there's fire. In this case, we are once against discussing the possible (eventual?) link between Joe Dumars and the New Orleans Pelicans. These rumors have lingered now for years. Fletcher Mackel of WDSU thought Dumars was going to take control in February of last year. Ken Burger of CBS Sports came back to Dumars in January of this year. Justin Verrier of ESPN went to the Dumars well a couple weeks ago on the Dunc'd On podcast.
Add Stephen A. Smith to the list. About 41 minutes in (and I'm sorry for linking a First Take podcast) Smith and Skip Bayless discussed the recent resignation of Sam Hinkie.
