Call me crazy, but Id rather have the proven NBA guy rather than take a chance on the 5th pick in a weak draft.

I'd also rather not tank for another season to get a shot at a now high school senior... These guys fizzle out all the time, and the NBA has a very high bust rate when it comes to the lottery

And we have no idea what Dell, Monty, Benson and a rebrand will do for FA attractions to this franchise... Since they've been here they've been handcuffed by a shitty owner who couldn't give a frick about winning... All he was concerned with was not paying luxury taxes. Lets give these guys, who are highly regarded around the league, a few years to build this thing before we tank for a high school senior... This team can't afford another awful season, showing no improvement... If you dont agree, go look up recent attendance numbers

Kudos. No shite.

There are all kinds of variations on building a team in a market like N.O. And not every player has the exact same motivation or goal. I've predicted some surprises this offseason and I'm sticking to that prediction.
