Forget the National Naysayers, Joe Dumars Unapologetic as He Aggressively Rebuilds the Pelicans

  • Joe Dumars led the New Orleans Pelicans through a rapid roster overhaul during the 2025 NBA draft and recent trades in Louisiana.
  • Dumars emphasized an aggressive strategy to reshape the team, aiming to establish its identity during key moments like the draft and trade deadline.
  • He traded CJ McCollum and Kelly Olynyk for Jordan Poole and Saddiq Bey, acquired a second lottery pick, and moved up to select Maryland forward Derik Queen.
  • Dumars explained that once they recognize a player with the potential to be a cornerstone of the team, they make every effort to acquire him, and Queen expressed that this demonstrated how much the organization valued and believed in him.
  • These moves reflect Dumars' commitment to aggressiveness and suggest the Pelicans plan to build a team capable of compromising opposing defenses with foundational talent.
