Clippers trade proposal lands Jrue Holiday from Celtics Can the Clippers and Celtics come to an agreement on a potential Jrue Holiday trade, years after LA whiffed on getting Holiday?

This offseason, major changes appear to be afoot for the Boston Celtics this offseason. Facing a slew of potential financial troubles brought forth by the second tax apron, the Celtics front office may have to trim player payroll, especially with Jayson Tatum’s injury making it very unlikely for the team to compete for a title next season. To that end, one of the likeliest Celtics to be traded away is Jrue Holiday, which could perhaps pave the way for the Los Angeles Clippers to acquire him.

The Clippers have no choice but to keep on squeezing every bit of juice left in the Kawhi Leonard core for at least the next few years. The Oklahoma City Thunder have control over their picks until 2027, and they then owe rights to their 2028 and 2029 first-rounders to the Philadelphia 76ers courtesy of the James Harden trade. Holiday may not be the player he once was, but he is still a winning player and one of the best defenders in the league, which would make him a good acquisition for LA.
