re: Pelicans/76ers Trade would have gone down if Bennett or Oladipo were there too

there would have been 5-10 minutes of pure anger before they announced the trade if Bennett would've been our pick
The site would have crashed. I can't even imagine how the reaction.
And I have to think that if all three were gone, we probably would have gone Burke. Simply for the fact that we traded for a PG, so the front office must have thought that was the need.

Not sure about that. I think it's pretty obvious basketball ops was entering the draft with two thoughts:
1) We don't like anyone in this draft.
2) Benson says win now.
With those two things in mind I think they would have taken Noel and tried to ship him for something, somewhere.

Yea im not so sure about that either. Its not like we traded for a rookie, unproven PG. We traded for 1 of the top young PGs in the league with plenty of room to grow and playing on a good contract. Hes a better player than his contract $$.
I think we would of taken Mclemore too, or just kept Noel.. And considering weve been so active in FA this summer, try dishing Gordon if we drafted Mclemore.
And I get that the 76ers are in tank mode. But, they arent going to be that bad next year. Still have solid young players in Turner and Young with MCW. And Nerlens will play some. I dont think they get a top 5 pick. And i seriously doubt our pick is top 10. The 76ers might of shot themselves in the foot.
