Pelicans Trade Holiday to Denver in Hypothetical: Should They?

New Orleans Pelicans: Proposed Jrue Holiday trade to Denver.

Holiday for a Platter of Nuggets

With all of the trade rumors flying, it is hard to keep track of who is going where. Most of them involved sending Jrue Holiday somewhere for a package of players or one big contract and a pick.

Bleacher Report recently proposed a trade with Denver that looks like this:

This is one of the better packages I’ve seen proposed for Jrue Holiday and would potentially make the Pelicans better now and in the future.

It does seem more likely that the Pelicans would try to trade Holiday for a bunch of players rather than just one big contract, as it would allow them to get the players they need without spending on free agents or taking on big money.

But would the Denver Nuggets do it?
