The New Orleans Pelicans are openly discussing star Jrue Holiday in trade talks and several contending teams are pursuing, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

Any time I hear something like team x is "openly shopping" a player, I think sabotage from another team. There is no benefit for it to leak you are trying to trade a player. Someone is trying to muddy the waters.

Might not end up meaning anything but just putting it out there. Now there's a space for all the Jrue rumours.
Personally I tend to agree with Shamit here: even if Jrue has turned down an extension, there's no reason for the Pels to leak that. Feels like it's coming from elsewhere, which means it could be just stirring the pot. Still, worth keeping an eye on.
