I feel that were several players traded for very reasonable prices that could have helped us in a playoff series.
Who are some dudes traded that you think would be in an 8 ish man playoff rotation for us?

Gafford or Olynyk would definitely have increased the likelihood of winning any series. And both were traded for almost nothing

I think Gafford fits pretty well with his rebounding. Smallish lineup if they play him at the 5 but still more size than with Nance playing that backup role. I also don't really trust that Nance will remain healthy through the end of the season. With that said, I get that it puts us in the tax for this season and beyond so I'm okay with not trading for him. I do wish we unloaded Naji so his minutes would go elsewhere to players with much higher ceilings.

And I don't buy into the 8 man rotation stuff. Most teams go to 8 man rotations because there is usually a big dropoff after that. I don't like that the Pelicans entire front line depends on Zion and Larry's
health.

I also think this team is a lot closer to the top of the conference than most of this board.
