It should come as little surprise that Jrue Holiday has heard his name sprout up in trade talks over the last few weeks.
With the Celtics needing to clear a sizable chunk of cap space to get under the second apron of the NBA’s luxury tax threshold, moving Holiday’s contract (three years, over $103 million remaining) would help accomplish that task.
The 35-year-old guard’s play did dip in his second season with Boston, but his championship pedigree and elite defense should make him the type of player that several other contenders would covet out on the trade market.
