He's not extending. Extensions under the current rules are worthless. That got fixed in the upcoming CBA but that won't be in effect until next year.
This. New CBA doesn't take effect until July 1st. We won't extend him and his agent won't let him give us anything concrete before the trade deadline. I just don't see anyway Jrue stays unless it is a significant overpay by us. I think SAC and LAL will push hard for him.

Seems like Dell should be able to read these tea leaves, no?

AD's quote made me think he'd be ok with trading him. Not that he'd want it, but he didn't sound very certain Holiday would return.
One of the reasons I didn't think they'd trade Holiday was how do you sell that to Davis? If he's iffy on Holiday returning then saying Holiday might walk is pretty good reason to trade him. They just can't trade him for a pick and tank. They at least need to get a usable player back.

Holiday is less so. He hasn't thought about free agency yet -- "not even a little bit," he said. The team is worried he will walk, and that his departure will leave Davis frustrated about the franchise's direction. "I'm gonna do everything in my power to keep him here," Davis said, "but it's a business decision, and he's a grown man with a family."

Do whatever possible to trade Jrue/Reke/Ajinca/Asik/and even Moore for expirings and/or draft picks.
DO NOT GIVE UP A FIRST TO DO ANY OF THIS, and then tank.
It would be nice to tank, have the 6th pick in the draft again, have something like the 20th pick, and then the two in the 30's. I still say we could get a pick from Chicago for Jrue. They either need to updgrade, and get someone like Jrue, or start trading away assets to get more draft picks.
Get Otto Porter Jr in FA, draft a PG with the 6th pick, center with the 20th pick, look for whoever has the most upside with the two 2nd round picks, regardless of position, like Blossomgame from Clemson SF or Justin Jackson from UNC SF.
