Herb Jones' Make-or-Break Season | New Orleans Pelicans News

Herb Jones' Make-or-Break Season | New Orleans Pelicans News

The Pelicans are rolling with nearly the same roster, led by a new head coach Jamahl Mosley, as they aim to bounce back from a rough season. Herb Jones, once an All-Defensive standout, is facing mounting pressure at 27 — his production has dipped for two straight years, his shooting down, his scoring under 10 PPG. While injuries may partly explain his slump, his defensive game needs to be paired with a return to his signature three-point shooting to justify his $23M salary. With Mosley’s defensive-minded approach, can Jones rediscover his two-way dominance — or is this his last chance to prove he’s still worth the contract?

Pelicans' Shooting Legends Honored | New Orleans Pelicans News

Bleacher Report ranked the 99 greatest shooters in NBA history, going beyond stats to honor pure shooting touch across eras — and four New Orleans Pelicans/Hornets legends made the cut. Current Pelicans president Joe Dumars, Steve Smith (who stayed lethal late in his career), CJ McCollum (a deep threat during his time in New Orleans), and Buddy Hield (before his trade) all earned their place. JJ Redick also made the list, lighting up the scoreboard with his three-point prowess in his Pelicans stint. These sharpshooters carved their legacy in the city, proving New Orleans has always been a breeding ground for deadly marksmen.

Warriors Stuck Without LeBron or Murphy | New Orleans Pelicans News

Warriors’ LeBron chase failed, now they’re eyeing Trey Murphy III—but New Orleans wants three first-round picks and a young player, a steep price for a solid, not superstar, performer. With limited assets to trade, Golden State may stick with the same roster, hoping Draymond Green returns and Curry carries the load once again.

Pelicans Eye Gafford Trade | New Orleans Pelicans News

The Pelicans may finally land their starting center with a potential trade for Daniel Gafford from Dallas, who could pair perfectly with Zion Williamson. In return, the Mavericks could send Jordan Poole and draft picks to New Orleans, while also gaining cap space to build around Cooper Flagg. The deal would give the Pelicans immediate defensive presence and rim protection, even if it means taking on Caleb Martin’s contract — a move that could be worth it for a team desperate to turn things around.

Murphy Too Expensive for Blazers | New Orleans Pelicans News

Portland’s pursuit of Trey Murphy III hits a wall—New Orleans demands a brutal trade package: three first-round picks and a young player. While Murphy’s scoring and shooting would upgrade the Blazers’ frontcourt, the price is steep, especially after their recent moves and crowded backcourt. Golden State’s two-pick offer was rejected, signaling New Orleans’ hard stance. Portland’s not biting—this deal’s just too costly for a developing star.
