Pelicans beat writer and John Hollinger are discussing possible deals for Jrue Holliday. They kind of agree, it would be best for the team to move him, because he doesn't fit the timeline of their main guys. Although they acknowledge, this is a very difficult decision, because he is incredibly liked and respected.
They see Denver and Miami as most possible suitors and they mentioned following potential packages:
- Gary Harris + 2 first round picks from Denver
- 2020 1st, Herro, Olynik, Silva and Okpala from Miami
I don't think any of this packages is really that great and Dallas might be able to compete. So, how about Kleber+Wright+Jackson+2020 1st+2025 1st?
We can't offer young guys with high upside as Herro, but we can offer two hard working guys that could help their bad defense and complement the two stars (Zion, Infram) and one half star (Ball) they already have.
Dallas on the other hand would become much more top heavy. Jrue is a very good fit with Luka and THJ and a starting five of Luka, Jrue, THJ, DFS and KP would be awesome. However, we would really deplete our asset chest to zero. MLE would need to bring a PF substitute for Kleber (Saric, Hernangomez, Crowder) that could also jump into the starting five, , but our bench would still lack a wing. So the bench would be Brunson, Curry, vet min wing, MLE, Powell.
Another option would be to jump into a three team trade with Denver, if Harris is not a player that would satisfy New Orleans because his drop in last two seasons. However, I believe he would be a very good fit on Mavs because of his defense. So let's say:
Dal: Harris
Denver: Jrue
New Orleans: Kleber, Wright, Denver picks
This kind of deal would be a roll of dice on Harris but we keep picks and MLE to fill bench or that 5th starter role.
