re: Pelicans back at a crossroads: Trade the No. 6 pick or build for the future?

For me, I have 3 categories: A) Player straight up for the pick B) You take the pick and you also take Tyreke C) You take the pick and you also take Asik In category A, my bottom level guy is someone like Jabari Parker. Maybe they have enough forwards and want a PG. I would trade 6 for Jabari or Middleton. In catgegory B, I would trade Tyreke and the pick for Demarre Carroll and pick 27. I add a little salary but get a MUCH better fit. Then, I still get a rook at 27 In category C, I would take Brook Lopez or Thad Young. Give me either of those guys and unload Asik, and I am fine.
