    There's no turning back for AD. Not after wearing the That's All Folks shirt. [​IMG]

    He's not a raw player. Dude has instant energy, instant motivation, instant athleticism. Zion isn't a just-drafted Capela or just-drafted Giannis.

    Zion will play with his twin Randle.

    I guess LeDone already knew this was coming when he tweeted something like "you'll see bla bla"

    Pelicans really got the N.1 afterall @J.R. lol

    I was hoping he was going to the East. The Rockets had problems with the Pelicans with just Anthony Davis.

    The fix is in Lakers 2% gets 4,? Pelicans get #1 when they're franchise player wants to leave

    That was rigged!!!

    Its like how Cavs were (repeatedly) compensated after Lebron left. New Orleans are now being compensated for the anticipated departure of Davis.

    It so easy to make the process transparent and "better for TV", that the only reasonable excuse for not doing so is to manipulate it.

    Personally prefer a system where every team has an equal chance every year (or modified by how high you have picked in recent years). But I abhor a system that rewards mediocrity and poor performance.

    Me too. I was not expecting the top 2 picks being in our division. Our division will get really tough soon
