Gee Balance/The Who Dat Daily

New Orleans, LA- ESPN’s First Take personalty Stephen A Smith mentioned a marid of of inside information on the Pelicans while breaking down the AD situation on its wednesday show. During the broadcast Stephen A mentioned several interesting comments from: the Pelicans offering AD the max to trade scenarios. The Anthony Davis trade saga is nothing new because its been dragging out the entire season, even caused in large part the implosions of NBA 3 teams seasons (Lakers, Celtics & Pelicans).

The kicker was while Smith paused to allow co host Max Kellerman to rebuttal his comments, sipping a cup of coffee interjected saying that “Jrue Holiday wants out too”. Holiday was one of the Pelicans key contributors last season averaging 21.2 ppg, 7.7 ast, 5.5 rebs in 67 games as a starter. He finished the season on IR after surgery to repair a torn core muscle. Holidays recovery & resuming of basketball activities is set in 6 weeks.

The Pelicans signed Holiday to a 5 year $131,805,000 contract including $128,130,000 guaranteed with an annual salary of $26,361,000 in which he is in the 2nd year of. The Pel’s considers Holiday a key member of the team BUT with the team securing the #1 selection in yesterday’s NBA’s Lottery things can change. The latest reports indicated despite a new VP of basketball ops & the #1 pick (Zion Williamson) AD remains unimpressed.

So let the games begin as the organizations scours the league looking for the best possible groupings of players and picks that can elevate the team back to respectability once again.
