The New Orleans Pelicans, led by Joe Dumars, have parted ways with two top execs from David Griffin’s staff as front office changes continue.

Dumars also said of players who are a distraction or unreliable, "You have to set standards — and you can’t waver from those standards."

If Pelicans ownership is fed up and ready to move on from Williamson, few would be surprised. But it wasn't Dumars' job to relay that message on Tuesday, if so.
