If they waited another 24 hours, they would still have 1 of those picks.

Dumbass probably would’ve gave them both up for him anyway

You can’t just gloss over him giving up what looks to be a lotto pick for a very marginal prospect

There was no reason for him to make the bet he did.

But ultimately this all lies at the feet of the stupid bitch that inherited this team

I think the biggest issue is the process. Why trade the 26 pick for the 25 pick that early on and NOT be content with a prospect at that spot. Then force yourself to into a trade again to grab Queen. It like they did it on whim. I don't mind the players but the path they took to get there is all wrong.

Kind of like the Penning/Olave draft. The process to get there was bad.

Dumars then traded more picks, and took on more future salary to make a pile of shite roster into a pile of shite roster with no f hope


I could never be an owner of a franchise because I would be firing people so fast when decisions are made like this. Decisions like this screams incompetence and whoever makes them have no business leading any franchise. Even though Dumars had no business being hired, if Gayle was paying any attention at all to his moves, he should've already been fired. There's no need to wait any longer for him dig a grave the Pels will take years to pull themselves out.

Did you not get 2 players in 1 draft? You lose one because you traded up.

You used 1 pick on him, that’s 1 pick.

You used a 2nd pick to trade up to get him, that means he cost you 2 picks.

Fears cost 1 pick

You gave up 1 for him you got your pick a year earlier
No, you gave up 2. #23 (which was acquired using a 2026 top 4 protected pick of a winless team) and our 2026 unprotected pick. That's 2 1st rounders for 1 player.

He did so because Weaver's son is friends with Queen. Such a pathetic reason to trade away the franchise's future picks to appease Dumars' incompetent friend Weaver.

To be fair, Griff did this. This roster is straight trash and wouldn't win shite even with a decent coach.


Griff definitely contributed to this trading multiple firsts and DD.

No one told Dumars to trade the Pacers pick which was absolutely retarded. And then put no protections on our first.

Another absolute retarded trade.

That has nothing to do with the comment that he demolished the team in 6 months and as I said he might have screwed the possibility of brighter future (and for that he should be held accountable). But regarding the current status of the team he definitely tried to fix some of the holes left by Griffin.
But his biggest fix should happen today and if he doesn't have the balls to take actions or is stopped by Gayle, than it's a different story.

The Pelicans acquired the #13 overall pick from the Hawks, who had originally selected Queen with that pick. In exchange, the Pelicans gave Atlanta the #23 pick and an unprotected 2026 first-round pick.




I think you should aim that towards yourself dumb dumb you swapped one pick so you gave up one. Yall just like making it sound worse than it is.

You don’t have queen without ATL. Its no possible way you get him without atl you’d pick 23rd.


Thats a swap your slow as frick. If you gave up 2 picks you have 1 first round player without queen.

What is there for him to answer for? This is exactly what we expected when he was hired. Poor play on the court and head scratching roster decisions off the court. The person that needs to be questioned is who hired him.

Honestly, this is true.

"How surprised are you that this team isn't able to compete. In hindsight, where did the assessment of this team's potential go wrong?"

Mic Drop!!!! It will take someone with big balls to ask a competent question. This reminds me of the media for the Biden Administration. Look what happens when nothing but softball questions are asked.
