Noel
This is such a stupid argument........ we were NEVER going to take Noel..... we were going to take Trey Burke so it's really dumb to compare Holiday to Noel.....
With that being said, I would've taken Jrue over either of them.

Jrue does not equal Noel or Burke.
Jrue plus an extra $8 million against the cap plus forfeiting a top 8 draft pick last year (because we'd have been really bad again and have had 12 less wins) equals Noel or Burke.
I realize we couldn't have done this because Benson (God bless him, seriously, but...) calls the shots and thinks you can "win now" in the NBA like you can in the NFL, but the smart play would have been to take the insane value in Noel (consensus #1 before injury), rest him like the Sixers did, get another great pick last year, bring him along this year, then flip him for a major piece for next season.
That's what San Antonio would have done IMO.

Yeah, but Noels fits what we do perfectly.
