## Resource

New Orleans Pelicans signal a commitment to long-term success with bold front office hires. Amanda Green steps in as Executive Director of Strategy and Analytics, bringing Oklahoma City Thunder’s renowned organizational cohesion and salary cap expertise to the Big Easy. Meanwhile, Thomas Scott, with deep G League Ignite player development experience, is named GM of the newly relocated Lake Town Squadron—emphasizing sustainable growth and NBA-ready talent cultivation. Jake Madison breaks down how these moves echo Jamahl Mosley’s “don’t skip steps” philosophy, questioning if the franchise will maintain patience or chase instant success with splashy trades for stars like Jalen Brown or Ja Morant. Insights cover Green’s strategy-driven role, Scott’s development credentials, the Pelicans’ history with undrafted gems like Jose Alvarado, and how organizational alignment could reshape New Orleans’ roster construction. Will words translate into actions as the team faces pivotal offseason decisions?
