Pelicans fans need to shut down any talk about bad trade.
You got Derik Queen because of that trade. No way he should have fallen that far. He was, at worse, the 3rd best player in a truly stacked draft.
I feel increasingly confident that Boozer will never be as good as Queen. Not sure about Dybantsa either, though I think he has a better chance.
The only one that I feel has a good chance of being better is Darryn Peterson, who has only played 3 games so far.
In general, I find it hard to believe that the NBA draft class of 2026 will be more stacked than the class of 2025.
So unless Atlanta gets the no. 1 pick, you should feel good about Dumars making that trade and be willing to defend him against critics.
