On a peaceful Thursday afternoon, the NBA media were conducting Zoom interviews with potential draft candidates, and noise surrounding the Celtics was minimal. Then, CelticsBlog alumn Kevin O’Connor dropped a bombshell on Twitter.

The notion of Jrue Holiday being on the trade block isn’t anything new as the Pelicans look to completely embrace the Zion Williamson timeline.
