State your affiliation, b*tch *****. Nobody knows who you are

Horrible trade for philly. Wtf are they thinking.

Wait....its Noel Nerlens, MCW, AND a first round pick next year for Jrue Holiday???

Is that right?


That's a score for Sixers. Wow.

"BLock shot party" LOL

Sixers obviously tanking this year, they will have their own pick and NO pick

I thought Philly gave up their pick as well.

Oh sh!t. Philly gangbanged the Pelicans **** :roll:

I don't know...I'm confused. :hammerhead:

if i was philly i would have trade thad young + 11 to get Trey Burke from minny

[QUOTE=Ballin095]Horrible trade for philly. Wtf r you think.[/QUOTE]

Amazing trade for Philadelphia.

What they had without the trade:

2014 season: maybe end up 41-41 or so. Get the 15th pick or so next year.
2015 season: more mediocrity at best
2016 season: more mediocrity

What they have now:

2014 season: miss the playoffs...get a lotto pick in next year's draft, and new orlean's pick
2015: start the year with Noel, maybe Jabari Parker, and another 2014 draftee (which is projected to be the next 2003 draft class)


Looks good to me.

AP sources have confirmed Pelicans' 2014 pick, sent with Noel to 76ers for Holiday, will be protected if its 1 through 5.”

Holiday is amazing...

I feel much better with it being 1-5 protected. I hope we go out and spend for a SF like Iggy to not even have to worry about making the lottery, or at least pushing for 7-8 seed.

I feel sorry for Vasquez. He's not a bad player, and had a solid season last season. :(

[QUOTE=leopoldstotch]I feel sorry for Vasquez. He's not a bad player, and had a solid season last season. :([/QUOTE]
I think he mentioned being fine with coming off the bench at some point. He'll still play a lot either way (as long as we keep him).

Damn, I really like Jrue as a player but we had to blow things up. The Sixers basically announced that they are in complete rebuild mode. Tank for Wiggins, Jabari Parker, etc. I think its a good trade for the team even if it will be a painful season to watch.

I think NO is now the most intriguing team heading into the season.

[QUOTE=DStebb716]For Jrue Holiday and a 2014 first. WOW.

Philadelphia sends Jrue Holiday and a first-round pick in 2014 to New Orleans for Noel, league source says.

I'm about as close to being done with the Sixers as close can get. If Sixers dont land this hyped up prospect Wiggins next draft it'll be official. I dont care what anyone has said in this thread (I didnt read) or on the forum. Noel is not worth this much.

Parker would be worth it too.

No clue on Parker. If he's legit then add him.

You can't get Wiggins, the pick is protected 1-5

edit: With the Pelicans pick that is

I'm sorry I am intoxicated. But what do you mean? Cant Sixers suck next year which is likely giving away their best player? Thus being in position to draft a Wiggins or a Parker since his name was tossed in the mix?????

If pick is protected 1-5 that means Sixers have a chance because they will only get either player drafting top 2-3. :confusedshrug:

What am I missing here

GoBB

This trade is exactly what you needed. You are doing what is needed to return to the elite - tank....and it just so happens you will likely have two lottery picks in a great draft.

It will be a few years, but it will be worth it.

I think you're thinking that the Sixers gave the Pelicans their 2014 1st Round Pick? No, the Pelicans traded their 2014 1st Round pick to the Sixers in the deal.

The Sixers got:

Nerlens Noel
Pelicans 2014 1st Round Pick (1-5 protected)

Pelicans got:

Jrue Holiday

**** it's so hard to be a fan of the sixers. we just get out of a big man with bad knees then trade our best player for another big man with a knee problem it never ****ing fails no matter who is running the team they make stupid move after stupid move. i can't wait to see jrue come back and shit on us. :facepalm :cry: :banghead: :banghead:

he knows that but we still have our first pick and by the looks of it we'll suck bad enough to get a top pick.

Damn I'm really drinking heavily. :facepalm Appreciate you correcting me.

Still dont like the deal as the Sixers have to tank to get Wiggins/Parker.

Sixers just got Glen Rice Jr. in the 2nd Round. Great pick.

I'm not sure how I ultimately feel about the Jrue trade, but the Sixers have still had a pretty good night.

They get Nerlens Noel, Micheal Carter Williams (to replace Jrue), Glen Rice Jr. (Was considered a First Round Talent) and a 2014 First Round Pick from the Pelicans.

Exactly! I love what the Sixers did.

Sixers killed it in this draft. Got a great trade made.

They'll be a playoff team soon.

Plus 76ers should be bad enough to tank next season and with a bit of luck land the number 1 or 2 pick to get wiggins/parker

Bye glen rice jr

I'm a Sixer fan and I'm in my early 40's so I've seen a lot of Sixer basketball. I didn't like Noel as the #1 guy in the draft but I like this trade a lot. The Sixers are going nowhere this year and this is a shrewd move for their future. I didn't like Holiday as a real PG and i feel like they got a good pass first PG in the draft and a really good shot blocker. They cleared Holiday's big ass contract off the books and got another draft pick out of it. I think it's a good gamble. They were going to suck anyway so might as well suck really badly. It's the unfortunate downside to a real rebuild. I'm totally down with it.

This sh*t is confusing.. I think I like what they did.. but it is a gamble and philly will have to wait and hope it pans out in the future..

But at least they had a plan on what they wanted to do to break this mediocrity we been stuck in..

hopefully this works...

I can't believe they traded Jrue... wtf. Dude is a great PG and is only getting better.

And people try to call me old here. :lol

Hopefully this works out. I like Jrue. And I get the total rebuild job after thinking on it.

how do you trade a rookie for a young superstar in the making? wow, the 76ers are crazy. i'm baffled how a team let's go of a great player that quickly. how will jrue and eric work out?

I think people are over-hyping Jrue. He's good, but let's not act like he's a franchise player. He was going to ask for a max contract and IMO he isn't worth it.

over-hyping? :wtf:

What do you mean ask for a max contract? Do you follow the NBA outside of S.A?

Jrue is already signed to a pretty good deal about 11 mil the next 4-5 years.

Jrue Holiday is overrated IMO. He had an average shooting percentage with decently high usage rate, along with the fact he played 38 MPG.

GOBB, you've always wanted this team to not stay mediocre, Holiday is a good enough player to keep them mediocre, but not good enough of an All-Star to get them over the hump or anything like that. As far as I'm concerned the Sixers fans should like this trade for next years draft where they'll have their own pick which should be top 5, and then the Pelicans pick which should be top 10-15 I think. Michael Carter-Williams has potential IF he can shoot the ball at all.

[QUOTE=Haymaker]I think people are over-hyping Jrue. He's good, but let's not act like he's a franchise player. He was going to ask for a max contract and IMO he isn't worth it.[/QUOTE]

He is signed to a 4 year $40 some million extension already so NO gets him for a discount over the next 4 years. I think it was a really good trade for the Hornets. They now have better talent and depth with a lot of young talent. They are the most interesting team for me going into 2013-2014.

I think the deal does make sense for both teams. Love Jrue as a player but I think the Sixers were destined for a decade of mediocrity without doing something dramatic to rebuild. I think in 2-3 years this trade will be looked at as a good deal (as long as we don't blow draft picks).
