The New Orleans Pelicans have five picks in the 2021 NBA Draft, which is mercifully here.
This hasn’t been the quietest offseason, as there have been rampant rumors about Zion Williamson being unhappy, a big trade and now news that Jaxson Hayes was arrested.
I’m not going to speculate on that except to say that this offseason already feels like it has been a thousand years and we’re not even to free agency yet.
The Pelicans now have the 17th pick in the draft instead of the 10th after trading Eric Bledsoe and Steven Adams to Memphis in exchange for Jonas Valanciunas and some cap space.
