In a recent interview with one of the New Orleans Pelicans' biggest fans who sits courtside every home game, he said this in reply to a question about if he thinks Nick Malone has done a good job for the Pelicans:
"Well, that's a difficult question. On one hand, I do think he's trying hard, but it's just not good enough. There's no transparency. Miss the playoffs for 5 straight years, win a ship, then it's back to mediocrity and now he's rebuilding again. I'm glad we won a championship but honestly I think it was a fluke. The track record proves it. I'm ready for a new GM. We need a GM who's willing to go for it every season and when we aren't going for it all, we know exactly where we stand as a team. Someone like that GM in Charlotte. Now that's a damn good GM."
