After playing in New Orleans for seven years, the Pelicans [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/new-orleans-pelicans/] traded away defensive stalwart Jrue Holiday to the Milwaukee Bucks. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/milwaukee-bucks/] He was an excellent secondary star for them and is one of the most underrated players in the league. His former teammate JJ Redick recently spoke about how the trade was a win for both sides involved. Redick said he had a feeling this move was coming. He said, “He’s got a great chance to win a championship. A great chance to, at the very least, to win the East and play in the Finals, which is more important for him. For us, we get Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, and a bunch of picks. Both teams won that trade.” Reddick then praised his GM David Griffin for pulling off this trade and applauded the number of first-round picks obtained from the Holiday and Anthony Davis [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/anthony-davis] trades. Redick teamed up with Holiday for the first time in his career during the 2019-20 season. It wasn’t the most successful partnership since they didn’t make the playoffs, but any team would hurt to lose a player like Holiday.

Last season, the Pelicans were close to making the playoffs, and just missed out. Since they are a young team, fans expected them to fight for the bottom seed. But after losing Holiday, those hopes could be dented. This could mean that the Pelicans could take one more year to develop their younger players, before pushing for a playoff team status in the following seasons. They have Brandon Ingram [https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/i/ingrabr01.html] and Zion Williamson, who are their stars, and the team has a great support cast for this duo. With the picks they have received from the two big trades, they are well prepared for the future. There is a chance that they will have more clear-outs and trades in order to get future assets. Griffin has been doing a solid job with the rebuild since Davis left for the Lakers, and in a few years’ time, they will be a team to watch out for in the Western Conference.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Jrue Holiday 2021: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Jrue Holiday is a six-foot-four guard who plays for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/milwaukee-bucks/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Milwaukee Bucks</a> in the NBA. The sport runs deep in his family as his parents Shawn and Toya Holiday both played professional basketball for Arizona State. 

Holiday was born on June 12, 1990, in Los Angeles, California, and has two brothers who are also NBA stars. Jrue went down as the 17th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft and both his siblings Justin and Aaron came into the league, following his footsteps.

Being born in Los Angeles, Holiday attended Campbell Hall High- School in the city, where he emerged as one of the finest point guards in the country. He was named Gatorade Player of the Year and took part in the McDonald’s All-American Game in his senior year. 

Being a five-star recruit, Holiday then committed to play for UCLA where he was awarded starting privileges as a freshman. He <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/jrue-holiday-1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">averaged</a> 8.5 points and 3.8 assists as a freshman and jumped into the NBA after completing his initial year. 

It was at UCLA where Holiday met the love of his life. He met his future wife Lauren Holiday during a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/college-basketball/ucla-bruins/" rel="noopener noreferrer">UCLA</a> women’s game, and the pair hit it off instantly. They began dating in 2008 and tied the knot five years later. 

As for his virtual self, Jrue Holiday is an extremely talented character in the latest NBA 2K game. The creators have awarded him a rating of <a href="https://www.2kratings.com/jrue-holiday" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">83 overall,</a> and he will suit up for the Milwaukee Bucks from the 2021 season. 
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Jrue Holiday NBA Career</h2>
Holiday was selected by the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/philadelphia-76ers/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Philadelphia 76ers</a> in the 2011 NBA Draft. They exercised their 17th overall pick and signed the LA native, who turned out to be an impressive addition to their roster. His two-way skills shone brightly in Philly, where Holiday played for four years. 

He averaged 13.4 points in his stint with the Sixers and earned his first All-Star selection in his final year with the team. Holiday was then traded to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/new-orleans-pelicans/" rel="noopener noreferrer">New Orleans Pelicans,</a> where he missed a part of his debut season due to a stress fracture in his right tibia.

Holiday’s an efficient scorer and an excellent defender. The Pelicans lost him during the 2020 offseason when they sent him to the Milwaukee Bucks in a three-team trade.
