Jrue Holiday is the new Bradley Beal.
As long as the Wizards continue to signal their All-Star shooting guard is unavailable, Nuggets fans will salivate over the possibility of landing Holiday from New Orleans.
Despite Denver’s inability (or unwillingness) to land prior big fish in trades, this one might be more realistic. Holiday, the Pelicans’ star two-way guard, has one year left on his deal before having to decide on a $26.2 million player option. That is absolutely part of the equation for suitors like Denver and Brooklyn.
If the Pelicans are going to host a bidding war, teams want to know the likelihood Holiday will be with them for at least two seasons.
