New Orleans Pelicans Rumors: Is proposed trade for Jrue Holiday enough?

The New Orleans Pelicans will have suitors for Jrue Holiday, including the Brooklyn Nets.

The New Orleans Pelicans have been involved in a lot of speculation and trade rumors this offseason, most of them revolving around Jrue Holiday.

The Hoop Collective podcast threw even more gasoline on this fire by discussing which teams might be good fits for Jrue Holiday in a trade.

The name that kept coming up was the Brooklyn Nets, which makes sense given their current roster makeup. With two superstars already on board and a good cast of role players, adding Holiday would make the Nets one of the favorites to win the Eastern Conference.

Brian Windhorst suggested a trade package for Jrue Holiday that would likely entice the New Orleans Pelicans, but would it be enough?

Here are the basics of what Windhorst suggested:

In this trade, the Nets get their third piece. Holiday fits well with what they already have and would give them the quality roster depth they need to make a run at a title.

The New Orleans Pelicans would be getting back two exciting young players who definitely fit the mold of what they need going forward, but would it be enough to move on from the face of their franchise?

Let’s take a look at why each time might or might not make this trade.
