Joe dumars is so dumb, his draft day trade looks even worst today than it was 3 months ago

Atlanta sending the No. 13 pick to New Orleans in exchange for the No. 23 pick and a 2026 first-rounder.

I am just laughing so hard that NO sent out the unprotected 1st round pick for Derek Queen. lol. That could be a Top 3 pick in the loaded 26 NBA draft.

However, I do think Zion could be a dark horse candidate to get removed from New Orleans this season. Just my prediction

Don't forget trading the Haliburtonless Pacers their 2026 pick back for pick 23 last year. That pick also looks like it could be very high.

Honestly when stuff that insane happens theories that the league made him their VP to do stupid stuff become appealing to me. It just doesn't make sense. Like there is a world where Queen is better than the pick they traded even if it is top 3, that's just how prospects work, but not protecting that still makes absolutely no sense, it would never happen. Pelicans project to be way too bad to do something like that. Maybe the NBA wanted to get more talent to the East somehow and will start next year. :lol:

I still can't believe Dumars traded the 23rd pick this year plus an unprotected 2026 Pelicans pick for Derick Queen.

Evan Mobley has 12.
Victor has 28

Royce O'neal took 70 shots this season. 59 of them were 3 FGA :lol:

Nets...Saraf started all 5 games, and got DNP-CD now :lol:

There is nothing young on that Nets team that isn't complete pile of s****.
Edgor should have been at college. That kid is so many years away from serious contribution anywhere.

Having less talent doesn't mean "not trying".

I have no problems with teams that try hard and just happen to lose.

Suns dominate the undefeated Spurs; what a win for a "development" squad.

Mark Williams is one of the few centers that can match Wemby's size.

Spurs shot the ball 19 more times than the Suns. Suns just happened to shoot 58% from 3. I'll take it as someone who doesn't want the Suns pick to be top 3, but not a win that is going to convince me it was anything sustainable IMO.

The Suns are a step above the tanking teams (Wizards, Pels, Nets, Jazz) for sure though. I've watched them a bit because I am obsessive like that and they play hard. And while I do think Jalen Green is mediocre, I think he will help because most games they need a little more offensive creation. And they have to try to win because they don't have their picks so that is something-- they can't lose on purpose like the others.
