Jrue Holiday

PG, New Orleans Pelicans

Marc Stein of NY Times is reporting that the Hawks have emerged as a potential trade destination for Jrue Holiday in multi-team trade scenarios that would involve Atlanta's No. 6 pick in next week's draft.

Holiday is expected to decline his $27 million option for 2021-22 and become a free agent after this season but that doesn’t seem to be an issue for the Hawks who are looking to accelerate their rebuilding window. No further details are known at this point but Jrue looks to be a great fit next to Trae Young and would give Atlanta the necessary veteran leadership they are lacking.
