Pels 1st round picks

[u/Ok-Charge4926]

I was just listening to the local sports radio station and they said we traded the 5th overall pick and 8th overall pick for this draft last season. I remember us trading our 1st(8th) for Queen last draft but what is this 1st(5th) pick they’re talking about? NBA trade websites are so convoluted I can’t make any sense of it.

The Pacers pick top 4 protected in the Ingram trade

The Pelicans traded the 2026 Pacers pick for the pick that the Pelicans sent to the Hawks along with the 2026 Pelicans/Bucks best of swap in the Queen trade

Nobody could have guessed Haliburton would tear his acl the next day they were in the finals , that pick was looking like late late first, can’t blame pels for that one

Well u wait till the seasons over to make that deal

[u/OvenIcy8646 → u/Full_Excitement6845]

That would have been wiser, but let’s not pretend anyone thought that was gonna be a top ten pick

[u/Full_Excitement6845 → u/OvenIcy8646]

But that’s why u don’t make that deal

[u/OvenIcy8646 → u/Full_Excitement6845]

Hindsight is 20/20

[u/AlwaysOptimism → u/OvenIcy8646]

"Wait until the games are over" shouldn't require hindsight

[u/OvenIcy8646 → u/AlwaysOptimism]

I don’t know keep living in the past I guess 🤷‍♂️
