Jrue Holiday is about to be a free agent. He’s also a new father whose wife, Lauren Holiday, had brain surgery mere weeks after giving birth. In six short months the Holiday family will have a chance to determine where they live for the next couple years. The New Orleans Pelicans, smartly, gave Jrue all the time he needed to support his family in the weeks after Lauren was diagnosed.
Some may believe the Holiday family “owes” the Pelicans. That’s foolish in my mind. The Pelicans acted how we would hope any reasonable employer would act.
