Do Pelicans buy a pick in 2nd round? If so who should they get???

I’m good. Just save our assets for the next front office

I would love to be able to get Nnaji with just cash. But the Lakers paid $5 million to move from 47 to 40. I'm not sure the Pels can buy their way into a spot where anyone worthwhile would be. They are probably better off having a few dogs they like and call the ones that go undrafted like they did with Jose and Naji.

I mean Gayle moved up the list of billionaires. She should let us buy a pick lol

I didn't mean it like that, although have they finished paying Stan off? But I believe the limit on sending out cash per year is like $6.5. If the Lakers needed $5 million to move up 7 spots, what's the going rate if you have no pick or even future 2nd to trade since we dumped ours with Devonte? I'm not sure the Pels could buy their way into a spot above 45 even with max cash.

With how successful we've been bringing undrafted players on two way contracts, we would have to absolutely love someone for us to trade back into the 2nd. I just don't see it.

I think Matkovic and EJ will get their chance this year. Maybe a cheap vet as well.

If Leonard Miller drops into 2nd- that would be a steal.

Spurs got him. Traded to Minnesota.

I think draft night is over for us.

Would love to get back in and grab Trayce Jackson Davis from Indiana. Small-ball 5 who can score inside and pass, run the floor, etc..Think he's being undervalued because he can't shoot. But you need a guy who you can dump the ball into and who is a good enough athlete to guard small guys...
