Celtics considering trading Jrue Holiday despite title

The Boston Celtics could put an end to cooperation with the experienced Jrue Holiday already this summer. Although he was one of the key players in the campaign for the title last year, things are different now. After the championship celebration, the club decided to offer him a new, huge contract - but now, it seems, they are regretting it.

Holiday signed a new four-year contract in which his salary increases each year. Next season, he will earn as much as 32.4 million dollars, then 34.8 million, and in his 38th year - an incredible 37.2 million dollars! That's exactly why the Celtics want to trade him to make room in their budget.

Where could Holiday go?

Boston has been negotiating with several teams for some time now, but has yet to make a concrete offer. Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks are mentioned as potential destinations. All of them could be interested in the experienced two-time NBA champion, although they would have to "swallow" his huge contract of over 100 million dollars.

The problem for this great NBA player is that he is plagued by injuries more and more often. This season, he missed 20 games in the regular season and three more in the playoffs. However, when he was healthy, he made a solid contribution; averaging 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 31 minutes of play. He is especially useful in defense, where he still dominates.

It remains to be seen if any team will take the risk and take over his contract, but one thing is certain; Boston is considering new options, and Jrue Holiday could wear a new jersey this summer.

He will certainly be an interesting topic in the coming period, and his next destination will certainly attract the attention of fans, who are eager to see what decision this great NBA player will make.

This summer, in general, we could see a lot of changes in the world of the NBA.
