Here is a collection of all of the Jrue Holiday trade rumors the New Orleans Pelicans should consider.

The New Orleans Pelicans have been one of the most popular teams this offseason, especially since it was reported that they are shopping Jrue Holiday in a trade.

The Pelicans trade rumors have been flying ever since, and it seems like just about every team is in on the action.

We took the liberty of collecting rumors surrounding eight different teams, though there are reportedly even more than that trying to pry Holiday away.

We left out teams like Dallas and Portland, who have been mentioned in rumors but don’t really have the necessary assets for a trade.

Teams like the Suns and Bulls were also left off this particular list, though they could be players for Holiday if they are desperate to get back to the playoffs.

Here are the eight most reasonable trade rumors for Jrue Holiday, in no particular order:

#8: Indiana Pacers

The Pacers have been involved in rumors because two of their best players (Myles Turner and Victor Oladipo) have expressed dissatisfaction with the team.

This one seems like a longshot but it would be an interesting swap.

The Pels replace Holiday with a younger version, pick up their starting center and still keep their lottery pick in this year’s draft, where they could add the best wing available.

I don’t hate it but it’s more likely the Pels would need a third team to make an Indiana trade work for everyone.
