Jeff Duncan @JeffDuncan_ Ok, gaining some clarity here: #Pelicans get Holiday & 2nd rounder this year (No. 42) for Noel & the Pelicans' 1st-rounder next year.
Yeah both Vasquez and Holliday are starter-caliber point guards. They're both near the top in assist per game. Good problem to have though.

Orlando could use Vasquez. Afflalo for Vasquez works for everyone. Affalo good backup for injury prone Gordon. Vasquez-Oladipo-Harris-Davis-Vucevic is a real nice core for Orlando.
Thats a great trade for the pelicans. It makes them deeper and you can play both vasquez and jrue together for stretches. Make no mistake though Jrue is the much better player.
I'm very high on Jrue but you're not going anywhere with him as your first or second best player. Im sure Hinkie knew this and he's banking all his chips for next years draft and mortgaging his own future since it's not like he's getting fired after one year.
