For what reason? Seemed like she had a good relationship with the players (not that it helped with Zion).

I assume she has something lined up because she seems universally beloved by the team.

Back when that article came out it said she played a big role as a mom-figure to Zion. I wonder if that ended up being counter-productive to his maturity development.

ETA: nvm I got her mixed up with Swin.

I find it interesting since she's been such a strong in house support system for him.

I wonder if she wanted do more than what her role was with the team. Maybe she was interested in more than just being a player development coach with an assistant coach title?

Or maybe we have no use for her if we plan on sending Zion packing

I'd assume she just has some other job lined up.

Probably why Griff had the meeting with Z. Which also makes it hard to believe hes getting traded

Jarron Collins was already #2 and now he's either #2b or #3 with Borrego coming in. I think this is the kind of thing Christian Clark was implying when he said a possible shakeup was coming even though it was just one coach being added. That coach was added to the top of the totem pole and the bench is getting crowded at the bottom. Weatherspoon may need to leave to advance her career.

Just curious why are they meeting at the saints facility? Or is it pretty normal for the pelicans staff to have meetings there too?

Shams' wording looks like it came from her agent, whining

Ballsy to fire a black woman

Gotta assume she has something else lined up

If she has something lined up why not just say shes leaving for whatever opportunity. This makes it look she was fired.

It's the opposite. If they were trading him they wouldn't have brought him in to break the news to him first.

She turned down a head coaching opportunity in the WNBA last year. We should be happy Fred Vinson hasn't left yet, because upward mobility is not very good with the Pels coaching staff. I wouldn't be surprised if Casey Hill started looking for other opportunities with Borrego coming in.
