With NBA owners seemingly more focused on European expansion than on adding teams domestically, speculation has bubbled up about the potential sale of the New Orleans Pelicans and the team being moved to Seattle (or possibly Las Vegas). Benson shot that idea down in an interview with Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune (hat tip ProFootballTalk). “Let me be clear about this: The teams are not for sale. That’s in capital letters. I want everybody to know the teams are not for sale. I get tired of people asking me [if they’re for sale]. I’m going to turn 79 in January, but I’m pretty healthy. I hear that people want to talk to me about buying the team. I’m like, well, that’s a waste of my time. That’s not going to happen. And people need to calm down about the team moving.”“It remai...

The Golden State Warriors picked up their second straight win over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night in dramatic fashion with a 109-108 victory that saw things get a bit feisty between the two Western Conference contenders. Naturally, at the center of it all was Draymond Green, who tried some of his usual antics with Victor Wembanyama but learned quickly the Spurs' young star wasn't going to back down from the challenge. Green started jawing with Wemby and tried pushing him around in the early fourth quarter ahead of an inbounds play, and Wembanyama responded with a vicious dunk off a lob on the inbound pass before screaming in Green's face. The dunk didn't count because they called the foul on the floor, but it was quite the response from Wembanyama, who continues to prove his "dog in...

This week marks the time the Mavericks move forward, and the storm clouds clear for fans. While the move to fire Nico Harrison doesn’t solve or restore anything, it matters to the health of the franchise in the short and long term, and lifts the collective mental health of those who follow them.This week’s Power Rankings Watch is a stark reminder that the product on the floor hasn’t changed. Not yet, at least. But it does alleviate any pressure that Harrison’s moves needed to prove a contending team. Now every move is about building for the future, building around Cooper Flagg.Needless to say, this isn’t the situation that Cooper Flagg envisioned for the start of his NBA career, as the chaos that led to GM Nico Harrison’s firing has weighed on everyone within the franchise. But there is a ...

With the gambling scandals spreading to Major League Baseball, all organized sports need to move fast or see corruption overtake their brands. News that two MLB pitchers were indicted in a pitch-rigging scheme that allegedly let gamblers win hundreds of thousands of dollars in prop bets followed the prior week’s NCAA announcement that six former men’s college basketball players had allegedly rigged games and provided illegal information to bettors. Last month saw three NBA stars — including Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups — busted along with various mafiosi in schemes involving crooked poker games and a massive prop-betting operation. At least one ex-NFL star was named in the poker capers. NBA president Adam Silver and league officials are reviewing betting guardrails with the...

The New Orleans Pelicans have finally fired head coach Willie Green after a 2-10 start to the season. Green, who managed a 150-190 record in his five seasons with the organization, was long rumored as being on the hot seat after allegedly losing the locker room and failing to produce consistent results.Now the search begins for a new head coach (James Borrego has been promoted to interim coach). But one has to wonder if that's where the organization needs to start.AdvertisementRotten coreIt's no secret leading Pelicans executive Joe Dumars has done a miserable job so far. Not only did he trade back Indiana's own 2026 pick during the playoffs (before the franchise lost Tyrese Haliburton to an Achilles tear) for the 23rd selection in the 2025 draft, he also sent out the aforementioned 23rd p...
