I am glad for BI.

It must have been tough for him this season dealing with all the talk of him being traded for AD.

And then he appeared to turn the corner by posting all-star numbers after the all-star break, only to have the blood clot issue curtail his season.

If he is cleared from the blood clot issue I think he can be an all-star player. BI and Zion could make for an elite pairing.

A part of me thinks this is what this new "woke" NBA wants.

But it's killing fans in middle America...the same organization lost two franchise players to LA. Probably going to lose a third.

This league needs to be careful. We're all fans and want to love basketball at the highest level. Please let the small market teams share in that. :(

Holy ****, I voted for the Lakers in the poll, but that was before I saw the picks beyond #4!!! That's a huge haul for Nola, great deal for them, capitalizing on the short-sighted Lakers looking to appease LeBron while he's still playing. Good job by David Griffin to recognize that the Lakers aren't valuing those future assets like they should.

Nah this is the case of a win win for both teams, for the lakers picks like that are really not very important, for a team like the pelicans they are crucial.

for pels,
not an ingram fan
if that 4th pick becomes donovan mitchell good then it starts to look better for the pels
zion just got the best teammate in lonzo who can unlock him, they'll be fun in transition, though i see spacing issues in the half court
just don't think it's enough for AD but if boston didn't want to give up tatum, then this was probably the best offer
so you have a bunch of good blue chip starters, just need develop/find a star


for lakers,
i don't fear an AD lead side because he's not alpha enough but next to bron, you have a contender, prob is bron's age which shortens your window, after bron though you still have a peak AD and being that it's LA, there shouldn't be problem finding other stars to come play with him

despite the circumstances, any time you give up a future HOF at his peak, that's a loss in my books
In reference to our title winning year

I remember when people said that Boogie and AD are finals bound when that trade happened. How'd that work out?

When was this lol? Only a madman would have thought they were beating Golden State.

Dude, this was a trade, bro. Man, if they sign another player, that's free agency, hombre. Dude, bro, cmon. What do you want LA to do, not TRY? I wish this were like the Heatles, Sir. We had to give up players and a bunch of picks, tho, I will say you never know how that crap's gonna work out. It's certainly within the realm of possibilities that NO gets a higher pick than LA, but winds up drafting a bust while LA gets a late gem. A draft pick is a pig in a poke/pie in the sky/2 birds in the bush.

Broseph.

The Pelicans did great on The Draft Pick haul.

Not only did they get one pick outright past 2021 but those pick swaps will come in handy for New Orleans.

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy.

So LA still has their 2020 pick; and likely the 2022 pick, the 2023 pick, and the 2025 pick?
