Even if you don't agree with the trade, have faith in Demps...

I love the trade, but some don't. We get a proven PG instead of a potentially good player in a few years (same can be said about the potential of the pick in next year's draft).
Even if you don't like the trade, the FO is telling us they want to win now. We could have taken one of the PG in the draft and say the best SF in next year's draft and then sit around a few years while they all develop, but Demps said the time is now.
There is no doubt on my mind that this move is not the last move before the start of this season. Demps will get us at least one more piece of the puzzle and try to win now. The Pelicans will be much improved from last year, and the wins will attract free agents to come here in the future on the road to become champions.
Its time to forget about tanking and future lottery picks and start thinking about what seed we will be in the playoffs.
In Demps I trust.

I liked the attitude and I would like to be dick and say that if you would have read this board at all you would see that this opinion has been thrown out every which way, but I'm too classy for that.

Noel WILL be a bust. Every PF and C in the league is going to be able to box his 200-lb frame out easily, he has Andrew Bynum's knees, and rookie Dwight Howard's post moves.
You can argue the pick for next year.

I don't hate the trade, but I don't know if it makes total sense. I like Holiday, but I think we could have signed comparable PGs (Ellis, Jennings or maybe Teague) for about the same or less money. Plus still draft an impact player (McLemore) and keep future picks. Now we have less cap room to try to fill a major hole (SF or C). I don't think it's bad, it's just a way I don't agree with.

Good for you. I don't drink the kool aid for any FO guy. Demps has and will make mistakes. I don't judge him too harshly. But I don't believe blindly and this board was made for us to discuss these type of moves. If we don't break them down, then what's the point of coming on here.
