Full quote:
“When Griffin floated the idea of pick swaps, Pelinka said he’d consider it. A few days later, the two spoke again. Griffin then convened his front office in a conference room to provide an update. He told the group that the conversation had taken an odd turn.
According to multiple Pelicans basketball operations staffers, Griffin said Pelinka had told him that Jeanie Buss didn’t know what pick swaps were. At first, Griffin assumed this was just a bargaining ploy; after all, it was common for GMs to blame their owners for holding up negotiations.
But then, Griffin told his group, Pelinka posed a question: If their roles were reversed, how would Griffin go about explaining pick swaps to his boss?”
Well of course they do, if there are GMs that are dumb enough to believe an owner can´t grasp the concept of pick swaps. Probably told Nico, Jeanie doesn´t know what draft picks are.
