Jrue Holiday Owes Nothing to the New Orleans Pelicans

You know what this is about and, as I wrote earlier in the week regarding the medical staff, this also makes me a bit uncomfortable. It’s about him take a leave of absence to care for his then-pregnant wife, and people thinking he should take a discount and resign because the team allowed it.

It makes me uncomfortable because Holiday has repeatedly asked for privacy regarding his family. Which is something we here at Bourbon Street Shots have respected. And I feel a little bit as if I’m going against his wishes now, but it needs to be said: Holiday owes the team nothing for taking a leave of absence.
