If Joe Dumars didn’t force his hand last year, the Pelicans would have two top 8 picks in the deepest draft in a decade
He traded the 2026 Pacers 1st (5th) for the 2025 pick (#21) (NEEDLESSLY WHILE THERE WERE STILL GAMES GOING ON) and then combined that and their INCOMPETENTLY FULLY UNPROTECTED 2026 pick (now 8th) for Queen.
Had the Pels owned the Indy pick, Indy wouldn’t have tanked as hard, but also the Pels would have tanked harder, so either way Queen for two top 8 picks so that narcissistic dipshit could put his mark on the franchise.
Someone please run him out of town.
