New Orleans Pelicans content with their roster moving forward, forego any movement before the trade deadline.

It was a week of pure commotion for the NBA. Thursday’s trade deadline, compounded by major moves early in the week, stirred the pot across the league and teams couldn’t help but to get a taste.

Almost half of the league (13 teams!) partook in the mania this week, and trying to keep track of the player movements may have caused its fair share of headaches.

The best news to break this week for Pelicans fans? Jrue Holiday is finishing his season in New Orleans and is optimistic about the trajectory of this team.

I talked to Jrue Holiday yesterday about why he passed on jumping to a contender so he could finish what he started in New Orleans.

"Something I’ve always wanted is to be committed to a team and to grow together. I feel like we’ve got that here.” https://t.co/KiUdYXsqc1

We agree, Jrue. And we’re happy you’re staying along for the ride.

Next. Zion Williamson so far ripping through NBA. dark
