It's clear that the New Orleans Pelicans' first offseason under the leadership of Joe Dumars hasn't been picture-perfect. Many fans and media members, including myself, have voiced concerns about some of the moves Dumars made this summer. However, ESPN's Kevin Pelton took the criticism too far in his most recent piece.
The article was titled: "NBA offseason grades: How every team fared before 2025-26 season". In this article, Pelton assigned a letter grade to every front office for how well they did this offseason, with A+ being the highest and F being the lowest.
