Remember that draft night trade between the New Orleans Pelicans and Philadelphia 76ers that people still talk about? The one that involved Jrue Holiday and Nerlens Noel? It’s still highly debated on if the Pelicans should have kept Noel and teamed up with superstar Anthony Davis instead of trading for potential All-Star point guard, Jrue Holiday. People bring up Holiday’s injuries, the potential Noel showed in his rookie season, and the Pelicans choice to consistently not develop young players as reasoning for why New Orleans shouldn’t have traded for Holiday. Those points are fair, but the injuries to Holiday have always been considered more freak injury than anything else.
