No word on picks yet. Most people are speculating a future 2nd. Possibly a “fake” one.

Griffin is getting universal praise in NBA circles. It’s pretty amazing.

Marks will be hard to beat, but if we make the playoffs convincingly, there's a legit argument there.

I’m not sure how plugged in Josh Hart is to our inner workings.

I see he was a 3rd overall player

Can someone give me an updated how many #1,#2,#3 overall players the Pelicans have now? Or high first rounders in general..

Pretty wild..

No BS but I think Favors can shoot 3’s this year. He has a solid mid range jumper. He reminds me of a younger Horford kinda. I like it but if we trade for him do we have his bird rights also?

considering Horford was never going to be in our long term timeline and if he got his way would have been a burden by year 4 on our cap space...yes, yes I am.

Yes. We do have his Bird rights. I’m ignorant to Bird rights. How does this help us?

In a vacuum, great move. Assuming he won't cost nearly as much as Horford.

Griffin has earned his past this month good lord. He has successfully done what NEVER happens. He traded away a top 5 cornerstone player in the NBA and skipped the entire rebuild phase. As this roster stands right now it will be a playoff team next year. The only thing I can see left to do maybe is try to find a trade partner for Moore to get his salary off the books and using the money to sign a legit backup PG. I’m not sure if they want to go into the season with Frank Jackson as the only other PG. Elfrid Payton would be absolutely perfect in that role if they could get him back.
