Kevin: I'm still in favor of trading down to acquire more picks, but only if we can still land Denzel Valentine. I think he's the next Steve Smith, but he's more exciting and emotional on the court. I'm worried about his knees, but I'm hoping that the minor surgery he had has fixed any and all issues. If the Pelicans can trade down to 9 with Toronto whom should be trying to land one of the coveted bigs (Bender, Chriss, Sabonis, Davis, or Johnson) while also getting their 27th pick, or trading with Denver for 15 and 19 or with Phoenix for 13 and 28 this is what the Pelicans should do.
