No More Bally Sports for the Pelicans and now the games are available over the air for free, except for the ESPN and TNT games.

Also this gives the Pelicans reach all over Louisiana and the Gulf Coast, instead of being locked to the 350,000 in New Orleans, you have access to potentially 7 million people across the Gulf Coast.


The Pelicans left Bally Sports and partnered with Gray TV so they could dramatically increase their TV audience.

Last season, the Pelicans showed 10 of their games on free, over-the-air TV. The seven games they broadcast on WVUE-TV Fox 8 drew an average of 46,057 TV households, which represented a 260% increase compared to the average number of TV households that watched the team play on Bally Sports.

It’s conceivable the Pelicans could more than double their TV audience in the first year of showing games on the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network. The Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns both shifted to an over-the-air TV model before the start of last season. Utah’s local viewership increased by 39%, while Phoenix’s shot up 69%, according to Sports Business Journal.

There was no legal way to watch Pelicans games for free when the team was partnered with Bally Sports. Now, there is. Anyone with an antenna in the Pelicans’ three-state coverage area can watch the team play on the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network.

I don't even know what to say about the trade

It's like so :dunno:

I don't see how eithers a winning player, and don't Randle and Rudy clog the lane?

That trade for Rudy was bad, because he won't be tradeable until it's his last year....and you can't even play. The new cap is forcing them to trade him.

Am I bugging?

But how come when a white athlete leaves like the last 2 knick fan favorites - get traded over money and playing time...

The fans NEVER EVER FAULT THE PLAYER.

But historical a black athlete leaves or gets traded for the same reasons - they get killed.

Its sad and goes to show, how there's double standards and racism still exist when it comes to black athletes getting traded or decide to leave when on the other hand a white athlete doing the same thing gets praised.
