The chances of Anthony Davis staying in New Orleans are minuscule. In most of the hypothetical trades for Davis, the New Orleans Pelicans take back less than the $27 million Davis is owed next season. However, finding some trades to fill that space with NBA ready talent should be a priority. Jrue Holiday (28) will want to contend for the playoffs again very soon, and keeping him happy is paramount.
The Pelicans’ current roster has a few foundation pieces for a quick rebuild, of course starting with Holiday. Jrue Holiday has become the soul of the franchise, and is worth every bit of his $27,131,111 cap charge for next season.
