clearly you gave up too much.
It's not clear yet. That was the price required and Holiday is a good fit with where I think this roster is headed. In the nixed CP3 trade your Rockets were about to really overpay for Pau Gasol because that move would allegedly deliver Nene as a free agent. You can't look at individual moves in a vacuum. I've been saying for a few years that the pieces acquired make sense with a 2015 judgement date. If Monty/AD can pull off making the playoffs this year and Demps can pull off turning Gordon into a decent SF next year, I'm not going to complain about a roster like this:
Holiday/Smith
Tyreke/Rivers
Green (probably doesn't matter which one)/2015 pick (We're making the playoffs and keeping the pick)
AD/Ryno
Asik/Ajinca
Give me Holiday, Tyreke and Asik over MCW, Vasquez, Lopez, and Saric every time.

That roster is not that much better, if at all, than what they have now. The Greens are not missing pieces.

It was dumb to agree to a top 6 protection. Just like the Rockets pick protection is dumb.
As for fit, I agree. But 2 top 10 picks for a (small) good defender and secondary ball handler is steep. You really think MCW can't be 80% of that?
Say they draft MCW, they can still get Evans, perhaps only by moving Vasquez. Lopez is still in play to protect Davis and be moved. Asik still becomes available; only now they can use Lopez's great deal as bait. Or dangle the 2015 pick and move Rolo in a separate move for a 3 (Clips were desperate for a 3rd big. Hello Jared Dudley). They still have 2014 pick to use as they want (McBuckets or Gordon or Saric or trade)
MCW/Evans
Evans/Gordon
Dudley/McBuckets
Davis/Anderson
Asik
Plus, likely a little more cap space to help round out the roster and likely attractive trade assets for a few years in McBuckets/MCW if a star guy wants out.
