Mickey Loomis will have a larger day-to-day role over the New Orleans Pelicans, according to a report.

Loomis has been general manager of the NFL's New Orleans Saints, but he is taking a step back from the football operations.

Dell Demps has been general manager of the Pelicans since 2010.

The New Orleans Pelicans have won three of four games as they're starting to figure out Alvin Gentry's system.

Anthony Davis had 24 points, 13 rebounds and three blocked shots in their win over the Rockets. 

"We're just trusting each other, helping each other, talking to each other," Davis said. "We're starting to have a better understanding of our defense, our assignments our schemes and what we need to run against certain teams."

Ryan Anderson remains a viable trade piece for the New Orleans Pelicans, according to sources.

The Pelicans continue to listen to offers for Anderson, who is in the final season of his contract.

Anderson acknowledged a week ago that he is unsure about his future in New Orleans. 

The Pelicans believe they may not be able to re-sign Anderson in free agency.

Jrue Holiday is two weeks away from having his minutes restriction lifted.

Holiday played 29 minutes on Monday, a couple more than the restriction allows for.

"We cheated a little bit ... I didn't think two minutes was going to make a major difference in that situation," Gentry said. "We've got two more weeks to go and everything's lifted. For Jrue, it'll be a little bit easier for him because in certain situations where he gets going, we have to then turn and take him out because we have preserve some of the minutes. When all of that is lifted, the consistency in his game will be better also."

Holiday currently has a PER of 29.0 during the month of December.

The New Orleans Pelicans have denied shopping Ryan Anderson.

The Pelicans are exploring trade options and engaging with other teams but have merely listened to pitches on Anderson so far.

Anderson will become a free agent this offseason.

The New Orleans Pelicans have interest in trading for Markieff Morris.

The Phoenix Suns and Pelicans have held preliminary talks on a trade.

Morris' pending felony aggravated assault charges, however, remains an obstacle to a trade.

The Pelicans would like to pair Morris with Anthony Davis.

Morris has been hounding the Suns for a trade since they traded his brother, Marcus Morris, to the Detroit Pistons in July.

Morris has fallen to third on the struggling Suns’ depth chart at power forward.

The Pelicans are willing to part with Ryan Anderson in a deal. Anderson is making $8.5 million in the final year of his contract.

The New Orleans Pelicans have inquired about a trade for Solomon Hill.

Hill is not in the future plans of the Indiana Pacers.

Quincy Pondexter remains sidelined as he recovers from knee surgery and Hill would give the Pelicans depth at small forward.

The New Orleans Pelicans continue to struggle to start the season, losing on Tuesday to the Memphis Grizzlies despite the return of Tyreke Evans.

"We have to play together, harder and tougher," said Anthony Davis. "We are just trying to find a way to win. Whatever we have to do to win. We need to become closer as a team and believe in each other. We need to stop playing selfish basketball."

"We are not competing from start to finish," Alvin Gentry told reporters after back-to-back losses at the Clippers and Jazz. "Some kind of way as a coach, I've got to get them to do that. Or I'm going to have to play guys that do. I've got to play guys that will compete. Five guys that will compete. I've got to get them out on the floor."
