I'm talking about the result of the lottery. Its good luck the pick wasnt higher
What? It has zero effect on this team if the pick landed at 8 or at 2 or at 4 so it didn’t matter. Result is the same either way. Dumars just has less people calling him a complete buffoon….
‘Lucky’ for him I guess

They gambled with the higher probability and won. They get Derik Queen for an 8th round pick, which given his performance last year and his potential is pretty good value at 8.
* #8 and #5

Everything fine and dandy? Not only are they calling for you to buy Pelicans season tickets but also Saints season tickets. Glad everything is great.

Who the frick said that? I'm just pointing out the small good luck we had with the pick not hitting and making us look worse.
You guys just want to be miserable as frick about it all and its exhausting. Stop wasting your energy on it and see what we do in fa. Move on.

I get it man, you have no faith in the org if any, and I feel the same. I'm still going to hope we change for the better. Otherwise why be a fan? Why be so negative all the time?

We gave up the value of the 5th and 8th pick in this year's draft to get Queen.
How did we know the value then? Pelicans offered this trade to 9-12 and none accepted. If they did, wouldn’t you think they do the trade? Also who knew Haliburton would get hurt and their pick be #5 after the finals? Geez. It’s like you think the Pelicans can see into the future. Who thought we be this bad with this team?
You said he’s still a project and not worth it. But he’s shown the ability to hit 20/20 and a triple double. You said he did it because he’s on a bad team but legends like Duncan and Jokic said he’s a special big man. Comeon now.

I’d say most of the entire league thought so. I posted a discussion of on air experts saying they thought this was a bottom 5 roster before the season.

You can use this same logic for us. We clawed our way out of last place because we had no incentive to tank. If we don’t make the trade and control our own pick, we absolutely tank and end
up with a top 3 pick in this draft.
This is 100% correct; though to be more correct we would have had top 3 pick odds going into the draft lottery.
