Willie Green must put up results this season or else the Pelicans will be forced to cut ties.
Heading into the 2025-26 campaign, expectations are high within both the New Orleans Pelicans fan base and front office. After an abysmal 2024-25 season where injuries depleted the team and, as a result, they had a bottom two finish, both the front office and fans want a different result this year.
Obviously, last season's disappointment wasn't anyone's fault, as no coach in the world could have produced a successful year while dealing with the number of injuries the Pelicans had.
