Philadelphia sends Jrue Holiday and a first-round pick in 2014 to New Orleans for Noel, league source says.

Wow.

Good deal Philly. Way to be aggressive.

Anthony Bennett goes #1 overall. I don't think anyone saw that one coming.

I didn't, but I do think he is the best player in this draft.

 

[Carp]

Philly gets Noel.

 

[Smitty]

Philly gets Noel.

Who is your PG now?

Feel like you should still keep Bynum.

I guess Trey Burke, Michael Carter Williams and CJ McCollum are all still available.

Broussard is reporting Nerlens Noel will be traded to the Sixers for Drue Holiday. A 2014 pick is involved as well.

 

[Carp]

Horrid to deal Holiday.

 

[Smitty]

Wow, so get this...

It's Noel to Philly for

Jrue Holliday
#42
And a 2014 first that is LOTTERY PROTECTED.

That's a fucking steal for Philly. They've guaranteed they don't give up the pick in a strong draft next year if its a lotto pick.

 

[Smitty]

Horrid to deal Holiday.

Nah, I like it given the glut of PGs available for them heading into pick 11, which they did not trade away.

 

[Carp]

If Philly gets Burke though...I am cool with it.

 

[Smitty]

If Philly gets Burke though...I am cool with it.

He's gone. But Michael Carter Williams or CJ McCollum are there.

 

[Carp]

Nah, I like it given the glut of PGs available for them heading into pick 11, which they did not trade away.

You underrate Holiday.

 

[Smitty]

You underrate Holiday.

You overrate him.

You're getting two players for the price of one and both of them may end up as good as Holliday.

 

[Carp]

He's gone. But Michael Carter Williams or CJ McCollum are there.

I'd prefer McCollum.

 

[Carp]

Fuck.

 

[Smitty]

I'd prefer McCollum.

Ooops, also gone.

Well.... Michael Carter Williams then.

That kinda sucks for Philly.

 

[Smitty]

ESPN just announced that it's the SIXERS that are getting the 2014 first round pick from New Orleans.

But that can't be right. If it is you have to love it.

 

[Smitty]

Unsurprisingly, Michael Carter Williams is the Sixers pick.

 

[Carp]

OK...I can deal with this.

 

[1bigfan13]

I'm hoping OKC goes with the kid Olynyk from Gonzaga.

But I'd have no problem taking Shabazz Muhammad.

 

[Smitty]

OK...I can deal with this.

Yeah, you are getting Noel and a 2014 pick. That's awesome, that pick could be gold.

That is a nice haul for Holiday considering you got Michael Carter Williams. I think that's a great deal for you guys.
