Why don’t the Pelicans want the 4th pick? I know it’s not great but if you’re rebuilding might as well get more young players.

Seems like NO is gonna make the same mistake they made with AD in going all in trying to win with him early on instead of being patient and building through the draft

Because this is a 1 man draft and we have the 1 man already; the talent drop off from #1 to 2, to 3 and then to the rest of the lottery is probably the highest of any draft in the 2010s and the players available at 4 would be available around 8-11+ in an actually good draft. Y'all already forgot that we won this lottery despite winning over 30 games; the days of being unabashed trash for year after year in the hopes of getting a pick that allows you to draft an actually good player are over. Being deliberately uncompetitive and trying to lose every possible game with the new lottery odds is for losers trying to build desolate cultures of perpetual losing like Phoenix.

Also NOLA's problem wasn't trying to win with young vets like Indiana and many teams have done with great success; it was throwing away first round pick after first round pick year after year to do so. We own all our picks now and going forward so that is no issue; Zion + the AD haul+ a couple good veteran players like Jrue to instill a sustainable winning culture + owning all our own picks= best foundation of any team not already competing for a title. It is what it is :manny::PierreUMad:

The Pelicans have a completely new FO, and the Lakers deal is still spilling everywhere.

Meanwhile, we know Boston are in negotiations but we have no idea what's being offered.

Sounds to me like the Lakers are just being messy and incompetent again.

Then, leaks about Lakers being pissed about leaks... lmao

The Truth
Might be time to become a pelicans stan:jbhmm:

Unless LA gets Kawhi of course...


But NO gonna have Zo, BI, Zion, Randall, Most likely Reddish or another big to replace AD, etc....

David Griffin is a bum, NO is not a hot city for hoops but the future is looking bright:jbhmm:
