Queen going to the Pelicans.

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


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


The #23 pick and a 2026 pick (the better out of New Orleans and Milwauee).

Dumars must really like Queen.

What he's done this last week is fireable.

Unprotected 1st for a mid round pick is insane, just playing Russian roulette

Dude is selling off future firsts for the 12th seed.

EDIT: Holy sh#%, does Joe Dumars know that the Pels play in the West!? Is he making these moves thinking he is in the East? :lol:

It's Dumars. Even if you give him a #2 pick, he will draft another Darko :D

If Atlanta was bad next year (I expect them to be a playoff team), the Spurs had the right to swap with them. Now they have removed that issue. They have the Pelicans unprotected 2026 pick. That is almost assuredly going to be a lotto pick. I had them at 14 in the West pre-offseason and that's only if Utah tanks again. Only Sacramento has a worst short-term outlook than New Orleans. They're still relying on an injury prone Zion and Trey Murphy and Dejounte will miss 75% or more of next season due to his Achilles tear.

It's a lot of bad in the Big Easy right now. Just trade Herb Jones and complete the cycle of suck.

Aaaaaaaw look at Sorber! SO MOVING!

Very happy for him. Great spot.

Big talent. Was my next choice after Bryant.

I don't remember him much. What should I know?


Good size. Good shooter. Wasn’t asked to do anything but shoot in college. Ball skills are questionable. Projects well as a defender since he can really move his feet. A lot is unknown as far as potential imo

I think Noa is a fine pick (even though I wanted KJ), but Bulls should've done the trade with New Orleans (instead of Atlanta).

You know, if I watched college ball, I would probably be excited for some of these prospects. They are truly just names right now. I can’t even pretend to be happy or envious of teams.

He's more of a center. He has a huge wingspan though.
