Pelicans Stay Quiet After Draft

The Pelicans stayed quiet during the NBA draft, defying fan expectations for big trades — especially after top prospect Ament remained on the board. Their high asking prices for Trey Murphy and Herb Jones — reportedly matching Desmond Bane’s haul for Murphy and two first-rounders for Jones — likely scared off contenders. With Jones’ health and offensive decline adding risk, teams balked at the steep cost. While past moves hinted at risky aggression, staying put may have been the smarter play, letting them focus on building draft capital instead of potentially costly missteps.
