Is it? What has Holiday done in the last 4 years for this organization? He's been hurt, often played sparingly when his status was up in the air, and took his sweet arse time to the start of last season when we absolutely needed him.

The team supported all of everything, marketed him to appease his little ego, and isn't even being considered in the offseason by Holiday. It's a pretty shite move.

Consider, Paul George is at least telling the Pacers now. If the Pelicans had known last season Holiday was going to completely leverage the Pels to leave in the offseason, there's likely zero chance he's still on the team. But he didn't cause he's simply not "max no matter what good".

But from a matter of straight line perspective, Holiday is screwing the Pels way more than George did, and he may not even be done.

What if he goes into the offseason and drags the Pels along for the ride, using their offer as a baseline for where he wants to be? Is it THAT improbable of a scenario right now? The Pels being days behind other teams in Free Agency to make him happy? What if the team doesn't meet with other players to try to show Holiday love? These aren't ridiculous scenarios and Holiday knows what he's doing as much as Demps is dumb for getting played.
