1. Is Wiggins better than Jrue? No so why pay him 5 million more AND be stuck with him for 3 years when Jrue can walk.
That's not the question. Is Wiggins, #2, and next year top 10 pick better than Jrue?

2. What makes you think holding up the cap with a lesser player in Wiggins gets us closer to a championship.
Not sure what this means, holding up the cap. I'm not concerned about the cap in the least bit. We aren't a big name FA destination. We have tons of draft capital, and i'd like more, not just to use it in the draft, but to use it to acquire better assets in trades.

3. The #2 pick doesn't guarantee you and all star player and this is even a less likely draft.
No it doesn't, but I would rather the chance at two top 10 picks as opposed to keeping Jrue. My reasoning is more in line with the fact that I think Hart can give us mostly what Jrue does.
And i'll say it again, every draft has at least 3 all star caliber players. don't tell me it's a down draft. The only reason people say that is b/c there isn't a clear cut #1, and we've seen so little of the prospects. That doesn't mean it's a down year, just that there is more uncertainty than normal. Even in the worst drafts, there's always an allstar in the top 3 picks..... ALWAYS.
The last draft to not have an allstar in the first 3 picks was 1998, with the Candyman, Bibby, LaFrentz. Pretty sure anyone would be happy with drafting Bibby, and there were 3 hall of famers drafted in the next 7 picks.

Ok the problem here is that the Pelicans just like most every team are tying to build for a Championship. You saying " it doesn't matter if take Wiggins we aren't competing" is just dumb. Why would we purposely make moves that could hurt our future? And once again your answer is NO Wiggins and #2 isn't better than Jrue. Because Wiggins cost more, isn't as good, and no one thinks the #2 pick in this years draft will be better than Jrue the next 2-3 years.
