I guess Dumars is betting that we make the playoffs and MIL does as well. It's interesting to see Dumars making big bets right off the bat.
We had one of the worst seasons in franchise history last year and just gave up control of our draft pick next year for the 13th pick.

Rookie Lebron wouldn't get this team in the playoffs.

This is one of the worst deals i've ever seen. We could lose in the play-in next year and have the pick jump into the top 4. And we gave it away for the 13th pick...

Dude couldve at least put top 3 protection on it. It's the 13th pick for Christs sake. Did he even try to haggle.

Nothing irrational about it. This trade is on par with the Luka trade.

Seeing how many assets it took for them to land Queen, Weaver and Dumars must believe Queen will be a franchise type of player.
Take him at 7 then instead of the tiny undersized PG

Personally I think we are a playoff team next year
No combination of rookies is getting this team to the playoffs.

How the hell did they just waste all this capital on a freaking undersized 6’9” center?

This is such a garbage franchise from the owner down. Just sell the damn team and move them. Take the Saints with them too

I have been following this shite show since the Charlotte Hornets years. If this turns into a top 3 pick, I might finally move on for my own sanity.

Are you listening to yourself? If they lose in the play-in, barring some insane ping pong action, their pick will be somewhere around, I don't know, 13?

It's amazing how many people assume the balls will swing the Pels way when in their entire history in NOLA, which is about 22 years now, their card has been pulled for any of the ping pong picks twice.

This is about as bad a trade on paper as it gets.

I am perplexed. Someone justify it to me.

Why didn’t Silver block this trade? The Hawks are to the Pels and the Eagles are to the Saints. We are gifting other teams championships by being so incompetent.

There is no justification . They fell in love with a player . Ppl do stupid things for love .

This qualifies as a stupid thing.

This! People need to chill. Fears is going to be good. Queen might be good but who knows yet.
