It's really interesting to see the lack of influence LeBron has on this current generation. KD's near the top when it comes to most of the bigger players but it makes sense since "bag" work is all the rage with the kids...I swear I heard a Jokic reference before LeBron with Queen. Really shows that certain gifts just can't be duplicated.

Like I posted yesterday, there's no point in the New Orleans Pelicans existing anymore. They have no fan support, their arena is a dump, their medical team stinks, and nobody wants to play there.

It is officially NBA Siberia. Go there to see your career slowly die until you get traded and get revived.

Queen going to the Pelicans.

Hawks lost their picks to San Antonio for Dejounte Murray. Got them back with New Orleans. Laughable.

Spurs really need players of Carter's archetype. Great pick. We'll get out backup C in free agency

Queen is a good fit for Atlanta. So this pick was just traded for a future first?

Queen isn’t a rim protector, and the Pelicans have Zion Williamson at power forward. Plus, the Pelicans look like a lottery team this season. Just an odd decision.

I don't get the Zion/Queen fit at all. Feels like a Zion trade is coming.

That would make the decision to trade their pick unprotected even more strange.
