In my opinion, this is SUCH a smart move by Sam Hinkie for a rebuild. You get Noel, who won't have much of an impact in Year One. You get possibly a lottery pick in 2014 and your own lottery pick that year is going to be very good. And you keep #11 this year.
Okay its the Pelican's pick. That makes more sense. Good move and you don't have to pay Jrue the max.
We see you Sammy H. Awesome move. 4 lotto picks in two years is how you rebuild a team by only giving up your marginal All-Star.
Okay Woj corrected it and said New Orleans gives them a 2014 pick, now this trade is a LOT better for Philly.
New Orleans is a SCARY TEAM right now. That team looks like a young SAS to me. They will be good for the next decade.

Looks like the Sixers now have their replacement for Holiday. Still don't know what the Pelicans are going to do with two high-level point guards.
