@PelicansLead Of the players, not the acquisition cost. The acquisition cost of Queen is an F-!!!
English
@ewbsoccer Not necessarily, remember this is also not allowed under the stepien rule (teams can’t trade back to back) first round picks — unfortunately it would be a Herb Jones package (if the goal is win now I wouldn’t suggest this), maybe a Dejounte Murray + Yves Missi combo, we’ll see.

I’m guessing in the late teens to early 20s range, going to be doing some prospect evaluations for Substack as to who I’d think would be a good fit for the Pelicans so stayed tuned!

Sources: The Pelicans are expected to pursue opportunities to acquire a first-round pick ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft. New Orleans currently does not hold a first-round pick after previously trading the pick prior to the 2025 draft in a move to trade up and select Derik Queen.

@ProPelsTalk How about go right and score with your right hand in the restricted area?
English
@WillGuillory LOL!
Easy to say but does that mean? Moving up to 30? How when they only have 58?
That statement is a complete dodge of the horrific decisions to trade away Indy’s 26 1st AND their 26 1st for 13 in 25!

Dumars says the Pelicans do have a chance of moving into the first round of this year's draft if they wanted to.

@JeffDuncan_ If an article on “Sweeping Changes” for the Pelicans doesn't mention how dismal everything the new Front Office has done in just one year is and their lack of communication with the fans about their vision (assuming they have one), then it’s not talking about the real problem.
English
The Pelicans finish the year at 26-56. All things considered -- injuries, expectations -- it's fair to call it the worst season in franchise history.
Sweeping changes coming on Airline Drive...

@ProPelsTalk Disappointed in what was given up for him AND his low level of athleticism in a ‘high level of athleticism needed’ league.
English
@RodWalkerNola As if he would work for this Titanic shipwreck of a franchise.

You can scratch him off your #Pelicans head coach wish list.

Sources: North Carolina intends to hire longtime NBA coach Michael Malone as the school’s next basketball coach. He’s an NBA Championship coach with the Denver Nuggets from the 2022-23 season and has won 510 games as an NBA head coach.

@ProPelsTalk The issue is Zion versus Roster Construction. If he had a bunch of 3&D guys around him and a rebounding center, the Pels would be better. So we are back to a Front Office problem because the Pels pieces don’t fit well together.

Once again, good player. Not worth 42 million dollars
Pelicans Smark.@LaRocca504
Crazy to say when we’ve seen him impact winning in the past

@NateSilver538 What is the total number of tweets? I interact with none of these tweets, so I suspect they are a fractional percentage of all tweets.
What percentage of each sources‘ tweets are not political? Let’s use James Woods. He is red but an actor; he likely tweets about acting, too.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.
English
@ProPelsTalk In order of importance, the biggest change needed this offseason are:
1. Ownership,
2. Front Office leadership, and
3. Roster construction (made worse by the Front Office).
So what will happen? There will be a coaching change to a worse coach like Ham or Ollie.
English
@ProPelsTalk Fears is not the problem! The problem is the front office!!! Examples:
- Trading two early 2026 1sts (unprotected) for #13 in 2025 and picking Queen. Queen is similar to Zion and therefore Queen can’t play with Zion.
- Trading two expiring contracts for unplayable Poole.

Quick film review on the progression of Jeremiah Fears. He’s giving me hope for the future

New Words!!✍️
The Pelicans organization is nearing decision time on interim HC James Borrego. I believe it would be a major mistake to dismiss his body of work this season, and an even bigger one based on who the front office likely has its eye on. (Link Below)

@Tina39096492 @NOLAJake How do you explain the fact that the Pelican are 1 of 4 NBA teams with less than 30 wins the last two years?
English
This game probably confirms the worst thing possible for the Pelicans. You're not terrible, you compete, but you just aren't good enough to actually be a playoff team
Playing hard is great. But it doesn't outweigh a lack of shooting, defensive rebounding, and other small things
English
@ScottDKushner @JPrestonSports Then Congress finds a way to put a bandaid on the problem they created and kick the can down the road for a future Congress to deal with.
English
@ScottDKushner @JPrestonSports The system is insolvent because Congress spent the surplus in the 1970s and made it insolvent. The people getting social security right now have been told their entire working life ‘there probably won’t be any money for you when retire‘ while they were paying into the system.

My only remaining political stance is we need to means-test seniors for the government assistance they receive.
Because this is nonsense.

New Penn-Wharton study shows per-capita federal spending on each age group: Seniors: $43,700 Children and young adults: $4,300. Clearly, the answer is to eliminate the FICA cap, use all "tax-the-rich" revenues on more SocSec & Medicare costs, and push that ratio to 15:1. 🙄
