First of all, the premise of signing the contract between Pelican and Holliday is that the NBA broadcast contract will come into effect this year, and the salary cap will be greatly improved. Therefore, in this summer, we have also seen more and more contracts of 1 million yuan, and it is a very common phenomenon that the annual salary reaches 2 million US dollars.

Therefore, at this time, it is actually understandable that Pelican chooses to renew Holliday with the highest salary. Let's just say Holliday caught up with a good time. Although Holliday's performance in the Pelicans is not as good as that in the 76ers, he still averages 15+ per game. It can be said that in today's Pelican team, Holliday is also the strongest point outside Anthony Davis and Cousins, the combination of ice and fire inside. Therefore, it is obvious that Pelicans are still unwilling to give up a third scoring point, and they still need Holliday's organizational ability on the outside.

according to his potential, Holliday is still very popular. He is also the first post-9s player to land in the NBA, and he was also selected for the All-Star Game, so his resume will add points. And it is worth mentioning that in today's league, if Pelicans give up Holliday, there are many people who are willing to offer a big contract for Holliday, and it is obvious that Pelicans have not found a replacement for Holliday.

therefore, finally weigh the pros and cons. Pelican offered Holliday a top salary renewal contract, which is also in the hope that he can find a tacit understanding with the combination of ice and fire and form his own big three lineup. They are still very optimistic about Holliday's future.
