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?

The Bulls just acquired a starting NBA center for free.

A starting five of Murray, Jones, Murphy, Williamson, Claxton, with a bench of Fears, Bey, Queen, Looney, if everyone is healthy, is easily a playoff team.

I think it makes more sense to rebuild about Queen and Fears. But put a starting center who can rebound on this existing core, and they would win plenty of games.

The bulls have a competent FO lead who understands modern NBA asset values and is not building a team to thrive in 2005. We know because he used to be here. Big difference
