Chopper City in the Smoothie King Center. New Orleans Pelicans 2025-2026 Season Thread.

I am having #ideas regarding the future of a certain so called franchise player/BBL connoisseur and how we could aquire draft capital

Unfortunately the only front office executive dumb enough to give up real assets for Zion already works for the Pelicans

Vivek and the Sacramento Kings still exist.

The reason dumar wilded out during draft night was pretty much this, Mr Moriah has this season left and it’s not a good start. D Queen and fears look good for yall, good building blocks to start on

Queen better be the next Jokic for what he gave up. Also, he shoulda dealt Zion if he really believed in Queen like that instead of holding onto him.

I don't want to encourage the bozo behavior of Dumars and Weaver, but Queen is insane

They traded a first rd pick next year for a player that would’ve been a top 5 pick next year if he went back to college.

TWO first round picks in the 2026 draft. Besides their own, they gave Indy back their pick in the Finals.

Two potential top five picks in an even more loaded draft. That's why Queen has to be an MVP to justify that trade. It's not that kid's fault but Dumars fukked that up like crazy.

They gotta move Zion to make up for the picks

The way queen is looking in the nba. Where do you think he woulda be picked in the nba draft next year.

Would you take Queen over two guys in the top eight (potentially top five) of the 2026 Draft?

If i had pick 3 or 4 and 6 or 7 yes i would trade it for a player i thought was 1 or 2 in the draft.
