In the aftermath of the three-team blockbuster trade that sent Damian Lillard to the Bucks on Wednesday, one question emerged that had nothing to do with the future Hall-of-Fame guard: What does this mean for Jrue Holiday?
Just one day after Holiday said he wants to retire in a Bucks jersey, the franchise dealt his $36 million contract to the Blazers to match Lillard’s hefty salary. The Blazers, however, have little use for a veteran on a team steering into a deep rebuild — they are better served allowing young guards Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe to putter around the parking lot for a while.
