The 2025 offseason will definitely be a memorable one for fans of the New Orleans Pelicans. So much happened in such a short amount of time, as Joe Dumars was extremely active. While the 3 time NBA champion received backlash for trading away next year's first-round pick to draft Derik Queen, that was really the only move I thought was questionable.
As far as the 2026 NBA draft class goes, it is extremely top-heavy with names like Mikel Brown, AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer, and Darryn Peterson. Making it easier to understand why Dumars traded away next year's pick to get his guy.
