Analyzing the New Orleans Pelicans leadership situation if Jrue Holiday is traded

It’s official, Shams Charania reported yesterday that the New Orleans Pelicans are actively shopping aging fan-favorite Jrue Holiday. This is a move that clearly has a lot of logic-based in it, but I can’t say that it doesn’t deserve some questioning.

I’m thinking out loud here, but is this really the right time to move Jrue Holiday? And is it possible that the New Orleans Pelicans actually whiffed on the right opportunity to make a deal?
