Pelicans need to blow it up...Fears is the future. Reed/Capela/filler/1st Rounder for Trey Murphy III.
The thing is they can’t blow it because of the Queen trade. If anything, I think they may be dumb enough to make a “win now” move.
I feel like I don't know what we need right now, and the answer might very well be "nothing, as long as KD stays healthy". We are in the top 5 of the power rankings with the other four of our starters being age 22, 22, 23, and 27 respectively, and a very deep bench (especially once DFS returns). That diagnosis might change by the time December 15th rolls around, or it might not. You might think "point guard play", but I don't want to take the ball out of Amen's and Sengun's hands unless things take a bad turn in terms of winning/point differential. What I'd mostly be thinking about right now if I were Stone is stability, how can we afford to keep as much of this group together as for as long as possible. Longer-term, you start thinking about who's going to replace KD, but that's not this season as long as he, again, stays healthy.
