Hundreds, nay thousands, of trade machine proposals were thrown around the interwebs by Pelicans fan, yet nobody got it right. Jarnell Stokes for a protected 2nd round pick was not the move Pelicans fans were hoping for. Some wanted a guy who could help them win now, others wanted a young prospect, and most wanted draft picks for guys like Ryan Anderson or Eric Gordon. But at the end of the day, nothing of significance happened, and fans are understandably disappointed, because this is what the rumor mill does – It gets our hopes up, only to let us down.
