Miami Heat Possible Destination for Jrue Holiday: Reports

If Jrue Holiday does decide to get out of New Orleans Pelicans, one of the places that he might end up could be Miami Heat.

A few days back, rumours of the Pelicans putting Holiday up for trade came up.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic now, Miami would be a suitable destination for Holiday. Before the start of the season, Pelicans and Holiday would have wanted to get a play-off berth. But things didn’t pan out as they would have wanted. With Pelicans off to a disappointing start to the season and the trade window now being open, Holiday might look for options among the teams in contention for play-off spots.

Among the teams, as reported by the Athletic, Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets seem to be the possible destinations for the guard.

Jrue Holiday has been a leader for the Pelicans-

In the absence of Zion Williamson, Holiday has stepped up for the Pelicans, becoming the leader of the pack. However, Pelicans struggles in the season might make him to force his way out of the team. Holiday is currently averaging 19.7 points, 6.5 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game in the season.

Holiday has just over a year left in his contract with the Pelicans. He will be free agent in 2021, before which he will be looking to make a mark in his career.

If he does join Miami before the trade deadline, he’ll be a good addition to the side that will be expecting to make it to the play-offs. Holiday could play alongside the likes of Jimmy Butler, making them stronger for the play-offs.
