2019 NBA Trade Deadline: New Orleans Pelicans would be smart to hang onto Jrue Holiday

Should the Pelicans consider moving Jrue Holiday by the trade deadline? If not, what kind of offer would change your mind?

Preston: I’d love to hold onto Jrue. However, if the Pelicans plan to go into a full rebuild with a package like the one being offered from NYK, or an army of picks from LAL, it makes sense to trade him for a future replacement, say a package of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, filler and future picks.

Kevin: No. Jrue is the perfect holdover borderline star to usher in a new era.
