Last time we wanted to trade up in the draft, we were targeting Scoot Henderson. Maybe this team should refrain from moving up.

I'm not sure Bailey is going to be a winning player in the league. His shot selection is not great but I guess it can improve.

Perfect guy for Dumars since he’s not big on analytics.

Just because we say we are going to use the #2 pick on Ace Bailey doesn't mean that is True.

My biggest fear in this draft is that we trade up to 2 and take Bailey over Harper. Would be the Melo thing all over again.

Everybody needs to calm down. This is smoke. This is a story planted by the Sixers to drum up interest in their pick.

The Darko over Wade (Wade was better than Melo, sorry!) was a disaster for sure...but only in hindsight. Sort of like picking Zion #1. At the time, everyone thought it was a good idea, only for things to not pan out.

List of guys Pelicans have worked out or have scheduled to work out so far. The bolded guys seems to have been added since Graham left.

It would be sp Pels Life to spend a year and a half trying to trade Brandon Ingram because he doesn't fit only to sign his Great Value rookie equivalent.

I really think Ace Bailey is the epitome of empty stats guy. He's gonna bust.
