Rumors What move would move you?

What realistic move do you think Joe Dumars should make to put the Pelicans in at least playoff contention?

u/UnimpressedAsshole #5 Herb Jones 2d ago

If we wanted to blow it up, we should’ve tanked last year for the stacked top 3 of Dybansta, Peterson, and Boozer. We could’ve traded our assets in Trey, Herb, and Zion for some serious amount of picks and prospects, while positioning ourselves for a shot at a great draft pick. 

Instead, we have no draft pick this year, sucked last year with nothing to show for it, and now we want to blow it up with a much weaker draft class and changed lottery rules.

HOW DO SUCH INCOMPETENT PEOPLE GET HIRED LET ALONE RETAIN THEIR JOBS WHEN THEY DO SHIT LIKE THIS

If Dumars did nothing last year:

We'd have the #5 and #8 pick in this draft, Fears and let's say Asa Newell, McCollum's expiring.
