Celtics a long shot to acquire Jrue Holiday
Several reports have linked the Celtics as likely bidders for the defensive-minded guard. However, multiple league sources told MassLive they do not expect Boston to come out on top in what is guaranteed to be a competitive bidding war among contenders in both conferences.

Have had questions regarding the Raptors shifting their gaze to Jrue Holiday now that LIllard is done, but I don’t see it. Lillard offered a stagnant half-court offence instant spacing. For all of Holiday’s talents, that’s not one of them. Boston, Miami and LAC might be options. – 7:16 PM

Jrue Holiday can defend any perimeter player in the NBA. He’s a solid shooter. He’s comfortable as a point guard and he’s comfortable barely touching the ball. He’s maybe the NBA’s best teammate.
If your team wants to win, it should trade for him. I don’t care who else you have. – 5:46 PM

If Jrue Holiday is still on the Blazers on Dec. 15, the Lakers should absolutely call and basically offer “whatever you want besides Bron, AD and Reaves.” – 3:14 PM

If there’s a way to flip James Harden to the Clippers and get back Holiday, that’d be a win for the Sixers. Holiday would be a perfect fit with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. pic.twitter.com/jneLiH7bEL – 3:10 PM

This much is clear: Milwaukee is all-in on keeping Giannis (as it should be), and Portland absolutely was not going to give Dame what he wanted.
Also, Jrue deserves better. But if he stays in Portland, it’ll be one hell of a how-to-play-defense class for their young guys. – 3:09 PM

I’m interested to see how much animosity, if any, developed in Heat-Blazers talks. Jrue Holiday would be a brilliant win-now piece for Miami to turn around and acquire from Portland, which remains committed to young guards Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson. Gotta love the NBA! – 3:04 PM

But . . . this might not be over yet. With Jrue Holiday likely to be on the move, there remains a certain team that has spent the summer considering an upgrade at point guard. Of course, Joe Cronin would have to have that team’s number to call. Heat-Blazers Rumor-a-thon 2.0? – 2:49 PM

I wouldn’t expect the Trailblazers to get a huge return for Jrue.
Portland doesn’t have much leverage, he’s in his mid 30s, has a hefty price tag, and may very well leave your team next summer.
But I can’t wait to watch Milwaukee, easily the most exciting team this season. – 2:48 PM

The Milwaukee Bucks keep expenses neutral by sending out Jrue Holiday and Grayson Allen and bringing in Damian Lillard. Tax penalty is still projected at $50 million.
They also opened a roster spot so they could sign a backup point guard, like Cameron Payne. – 2:47 PM

Outlook on what the Bucks must fork over to the Pelicans from the Jrue Holiday trade looks grimmer today. Pelicans are owed an unprotected 2027 first. Also first-round swaps in 2024 and 2026, plus a 2025 first if it falls in the top four. – 2:27 PM

More on this storyline
Holiday has two years left on his deal, earning just shy of $37 million for this coming season along with a player option for 2024-25 that’s widely expected to be declined by Holiday per league sources. -via Booth Newspapers / September 28, 2023
The Blazers are probably seeking a package featuring multiple first-round picks and promising young prospects. Their return for Lillard currently features only one first-round pick and two pick swaps from Milwaukee, as well as Deandre Ayton. Clearly, their return is incomplete as they need to convert Holiday into future draft picks and players that fit their timeline. -via HoopsHype / September 28, 2023
