It's 100% true, the Spurs thought he was messing with them and the Hawks called back twice to make sure that's what the Pelicans actually wanted to do. Literally every GM in the NBA was questioning the deal. If they pick was top-3 protected it still would have been made.

Now the Pacers trade? That one never made sense to me why you would trade a pick for a team that is still in season.


Without this trade to get a 2nd 1st in the last draft we don’t have Queen. The pacers pick was also top 4 protected (yes you can put protections)

That trade made more sense than our unprotected pick

So because you got a good player it justifies the gross overpayment?

Would you still have this same mindset next year if we give a top 3 pick to Atlanta?

Doubt it

to many degrees yes.

we don't even know what pick we gave up.

Certainly hasn't stopped the drama all the while ya'll turn around in the next sentence and mock dumars' ability to draft a top 2 selection.

Calm down now, Queen hasn’t played like one of the best 2 players from this draft class

Nobody is arguing that Queen will be a great player. It's the ignorance of the front office that will hinder this team going forward. Pelicans fans should have zero trust in Dumars putting this team together after that moronic trade.

The Pelicans could have about a 30% chance at the 1st overall pick right now. But Dumars is going to Dumars.
