1. Do you want a late first, and for what?
Jake Madison: If they give up this year’s second round pick and next year’s, sure why not? The quality of players is going to be higher at the end of the first round than the second. But for anything more substantial than that (assuming Benson buying a pick is off the table) then I’ll pass. I’d rather save assets for making moves during the season.
Mason Ginsberg: Not particularly. The Pelicans would be better off making a similar move to what they did last season – adding another second round pick, and then packaging it with their current pick to move up earlier in the second round.
