Atlanta Hawks: 4 trade candidates to target with the No. 6 overall draft pick

Jrue Holiday

Much like trading for Victor Oladipo, I’m not sure if the No. 6 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft would be considered “too much” for another potential rental. This time, Jrue Holiday who is reportedly being shopped by the New Orleans Pelicans.

That aside, the fit seems to work with Holiday. His skill-set is ideal to stick next to Trae Young, as Holiday is another veteran “star” that can score, distribute, and defend at a high level. Holiday has played both guard positions over the course of his career and would be a great compliment to this roster.

If he proves to be a great fit with this team, the Hawks could always try to extend Holiday beyond this season and hope he takes the long-term security. The fact that Holiday would be viewed more as a rental than as a long-term play would be the concern here.

Though, if both sides could come to an under-the-table agreement, perhaps this is something that could work out.
