Debating Holiday's game and its value is fair. But they traded two mid to late lottery picks for a 23 yo who has proven himself to be a good player. He hasn't entered his prime yet!! If they had sent picks for an Iguodala S/T I would agree with your position. The team is young, locked up, and flexible on the court and on the cap sheet. It might not work, but it's not a franchise killer.

that right there

1. The Pelicans have not killed their cap.
Gordon, Holiday, Evans, Anderson account for ~ $42MIL this season. Parker, Duncan, Splitter, Ginobili accout for ~ $40MIL. Each team has a promising young player on a rookie contract and then various cheap role players. The Spurs have $52MIL on the books for next year, the Pelicans have $53MIL.

Your math is off. The NO crew is over 45 million and the SA crew is under 40 million. I'm have to bring up the talent difference of the greatest PF of all time, a top 3 PG and maybe the greatest 6th man ever, combined 20+ all-pro and all star appearances or the fact they have all never missed the playoffs and were just in the finals versus one combined all star game, 2 guys that have never played on a winning team much less made the playoffs and two guys that weren't even top 3 guys on playoff teams... It's a bad comparison.

I guess we are going to keep debating this. Everyone says the team is flexible. Who can they trade? Davis is untouchable. Holiday is or should be solid. So why would they flip him. Anderson's value is up and down (supposedly they couldn't even swing Asik for him). Gordon and Evans contracts are scary for most teams. Rivers is really the most attractive asset and what could he really bring back right now? I just don't think these big contracts are as easy to move as everyone thinks they are..
