[quote]The Pelicans can choose to take the No. 17 pick from the Lakers, or they can wait a year and take their unprotected 2025 pick. The latter is the expectation at this moment, but New Orleans has until June 1 to make a final decision. [/quote] Ok. Found the answer....

On another note. Weren't we supposed to decide if we are deferring the Lakers pick today also? Anyone has any clue if they did or not? Still seeing mock drafts with the Pelicans picking with the Lakers pick....

I'd imagine the job is going to Borrego. JJ isn't going to be respected by LBJ. It'll be a Nash situation all over again. The Lakers need an offensive X and Os guy. ...
