Some people thought this package was an overpay for CP3. How do you feel about this package for Jrue Holiday?

Lakers get Jrue Holiday

Pelicans get Kyle Kuzma, Danny Green, Quinn Cook, and the 28th overall pick

The trade will work financially in the offseason once the Lakers renounce the rights to some of their free agents. Jrue and AD are good friends with great chemistry. Jrue/Caruso/LBJ/AD/McGee looks like a squad that can run it back for another title.

The Pelicans save about $6.6 million in salary, add a pair of expiring contracts, and re-unite Kuzma with his old Laker buddies. The first round pick sweetens the package.

Do the Pelicans need more?

Honestly I like the sound of it - if we can replace Danny’s shooting with a FA signing, then it really works out for both sides especially if jrue doesn’t want to resign with the pels.

The same package be fair for Jru Holiday but I think that other teams would come in with a better offer. Teams like the Knicks have a bunch of prospects and picks which the Lakers don't. Once the Lakers make a trade like this either for CP3 or Holiday Lakers are pretty much stuck with a big 3 of Lebron, AD, and CP3 for at least 2 years which isn't actually bad if you think about it. Lakers could then sign players on the cheaper side.
