New Orleans Pelicans are giving the franchise to the Jrue Holiday for the next two seasons, not Zion Williamson. David Griffin’s master plan should benefit both players. Holiday is already voicing his satisfaction with the changes around the franchise.
Those quotes also highlight the shortcomings of the Dell Demps regime. Gayle Benson either did not trust Demps to make the changes Griffin has implemented, or Demps never had the ideas to present to Benson and Mickey Loomis. The structure of the New Orleans Pelicans organization is no longer as confusing as some of Demps roster moves.
Specifically, regarding Holiday, the New Orleans Pelicans handled the Holiday’s tragic family emergency with grace and understanding.
