The annual SB Nation Blogger Mock Draft is complete and the New Orleans Pelicans first pick, selected by myself in concert with the rest of The Bird Writes staff, can be found on Ridiculous Upside. This is my second go around running the Pelicans and, unlike last year where we had no real draft capital, we've been able to make significant changes to the roster. At least in a hypothetical sense.
There is so much that goes on behind the scenes for this process. Most trade discussions, unlike what I suspect occurs in the NBA, are done via email.
