The New Orleans Pelicans' disastrous start to the new season took a turn for the worse on Wednesday after falling to 0-4 with a 122-88 defeat against the Denver Nuggets. Now, coach Willie Green could pay the ultimate price amid reports that the front office is having serious discussions about firing him.
Eyebrows were raised when he started 37-year-old DeAndre Jordan against his former team, Nuggets, instead of fan favorite Yves Missi. Reports on Thursday have suggested that Green has fallen out with a number of key players in the locker room, and the front office is bracing itself for his departure.
“Several players have appeared disinterested and frustrated with how Green's lineups are being handled. These displeasures have been visible on the team's bench, as well as heard behind the scenes in the tunnel and locker room,” league sources told ClutchPoints, Siegel wrote.•

Furthermore, the report said, Zion Williamson has been seen engaging with associate head coach James Borrego, who is the likely interim coach if Green is fired.
With Willie Green's firing almost at a deafening point, fans shared their thoughts on the 44-year-old's ability to lead the team to success. Here are some of the reactions:
This what happens when you start Deandre Jordan in 2025
If true then yes he should be fired today. Players look defeated after only 4 games played. Gotta go
Im surprised he's held onto his job for so long
Joe Dumars now shitting his pants after giving away a 2026 unprotected FRP then seeing DeAndre Jordan in the starting lineup
Why don’t they trade Zion too while they are at it and just start over
Benched Poole and started DeAndre Jordan he might be cooked
