Another CBS guy puts us as one of his winners. LINK

quote:

WINNER: Pelicans
The Pelicans acquired one of the NBA's marquee young point guards. Holiday, 23, might help New Orleans finally soothe the loss of Chris Paul from two years ago while giving them another key player to build around.
Holiday averaged 17.7 points and eight assists last season and is beginning a four-year, $44 million contract extension he previously signed with the Sixers.
"He's shocked," said Holiday's agent, Tony Dutt. "He understands it's a business as well. He's OK. It is what it is – something we didn't expect."
The Pelicans might explore trading disgruntled shooting guard Eric Gordon. Point guard Greivis Vasquez also is coming off the best season of his young career.
"Jrue will be great for us," Gordon said. "Very excited."

I said last night in full view of Jester, so you know this dude is going to hold me against the griddle on it: If we spend our cap right and don't have major injuries, get 2/3 Gordon, we go 4th - 6th seed in the West.

That's adding, say, 20 wins. With the dead money coming back to life, this move, internal improvement, and enough money to flip a guard for a SF of quality, we can see a vastly different team.

Also, Monty is now officially on the clock.

Also also, Bill Simmons got told. Hilarious.
