If we had all this money and needed a guard so bad, then why did the Pelicans get him and we couldn't offer more?

The Pelicans gave up the right to Noel, who could be the best player in this year's draft and what will be a 2014 late lottery pick. Since the 2014 draft is going to be a really good one, this trade may very well cripple the Pelicans.
Holiday is a nice player, but not worth all that. Be very glad you didn't pay more. The Sixers will almost assuredly win this deal long term.
Yeah,
I would of been happy to throw in Brandon Knight or Stuckey and a draft pick or two for Holiday. Guy looks like he is on the verge of super stardom. Seems like the perfect compliment to Drummond/Monroe.
For that price, sure. Nobody wants Stuckey, or Knight though.
What the Pelicans actually paid would be more like Pistons giving Drummond and a 1st round pick.
As for Holiday, he is among the league leaders in TOs and he is a streaky shooter. He is not very efficient. Fun to watch, yes, but not a budding superstar. If you can get him for a reasonable price, he would help, but the Pelicans paid too much.
