Pelicans screwed Anthony Davis

[scott0326]

Pelicans could still land number 1 and draft Embiid.

EMbiid and Davis - it's all over

Except for fact they traded pick for Holliday

Team without Eric Gordon this year- 6 wins, 1 loss

Wins over: Denver, Portland, Miami, Atlanta, Brooklyn, and the Clippers. Eric Gordon has never been in the long term plans, and we've been trying to move him. Nobody will ever take his contract though, so we're stuck with him.

Yelp, stuck with him for basketball reasons.

is it protected?

[Genaro]

For a small market team, I do feel like they tried to go all-in a little too early. I still think they need to move either Gordon or Evans. Tyreke cannot come off the bench, and Gordon has wanted out of town since the day they signed him.

I wanted to see the Pelicans try and move Gordon for Granger. Gordon would have been a perfect fit in Indy, and Granger could have filled a weak SF spot for the Pels.

I agree. They thought they could go to the playoffs this year, but it was best to them to don't trade their pick and tank this year.

[longtime lurker]

Lol you can't screw a player that's in his second year in the league. Pelicans would be a competitive team, they're just injured as hell. Signing Tyreke was idiotic though, they need to move him and the walking injury

is it protected?

It's protected, to what pick I'm not quite sure. I think most feel that unless they tank to save the pick Ala Golden State a couple of years ago (when they got Barnes) then they'll finish just outside of the protection and lose it

False, Pelicans are not tanking and if you check record since Reke has started. They've pieced together some wins, they'll probably finish good enough to give a 12 pick to Philly. Also pick is top 5 protected.

he never said they were tanking.

[B-Easy8]

Id rather have Jrue then Noel and a 10+ pick.

They should have tanked this year though and got another top 5 pick.

[anthonyRandolph]

well he said unless they tank, and I meant it as they will not tank. It's too late at this point and they'd just give Philly a better pick.

[Brizzly]

Should have never included this year's pick for Jrue. They are on pace to get the 11th pick, could very well get someone like McDermott, Aaron Gordon or Cleanthony Early.

I would say no to Aaron, homeless mans Blake Griffin.

[JohnFreeman]

They really mismanaged everything. The Jrue trade was terrible. Signing Reke LOL. Gordon? LOL. They should have kept Noel and dump everyone else excluding AD and tanked hard.


Wiggins-AD-Noel with max cap space to entice Bran.


PG- who cares
Wiggins
Bran
AD
Noel

You leave Reke out of this!

Take out Jrue and Pelicans could get a top 5 pick this draft. The question then becomes would you rather have Noel + Parker/Exum/Smart or Jrue Holiday. I know what I'd rather have

Like we would have a top 5 pick with the way AD is playing this season.
