NBA Rumors: Pelicans Discussing Jrue Holiday Trade With ‘Several' Contenders

The Pelicans are reportedly discussing a Holiday trade with "several contending teams," per The Athletic's Shams Charania

We still don't know when the 2020–21 NBA season will actually begin, but that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from running as we approach the draft and free agency. 

The Warriors and Timberwolves could trade out of their respective spots atop the draft, while a slate of contenders could make a splash in free agency. There should be plenty of player movement ahead in the coming weeks.

The Pelicans are one team that could undergo a roster makeover before the start of 2020–21. New Orleans is reportedly discussing trades involving guard Jrue Holiday, and "several contending teams," are interested, per The Athletic's Shams Charania. As Zion Williamson enters his second season, it appears as though the Pelicans are fully committing to their youth movement.
