Will trade the championship guard! The Celtics are powerless

Meiji Fischer: Green Kai is listening to Holiday's trading quote.

Due to operational pressure, Green Kai's salary + luxury tax expenditure may exceed $500 million in the 25-26 season, and Tatum's Achilles tendon ruptured. The team's hopes for the championship at least next season are extremely slim. There have been voices from the outside world that they have made big moves this summer offseason, and Holiday, who will be 35, will be the first target to be shot.

Not only are they old, Holiday's competitive form has also declined seriously this season, averaging 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 interruptions in the regular season, with shooting percentages of 44.3%, 35.3% and 90.9% in the three events; in the playoffs, they averaged 9.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4 assists in the three events, with shooting percentages of 48.3%, 34.6% and 69.2%. The contract that Holiday is executing will expire in the summer of 2028, and its annual salary will reach US$32.4 million, US$34.8 million and US$37.2 million respectively in the next three seasons. Obviously, at his current level, it cannot match such a high salary.

In short, it is predictable that Green Kai chose to let go of Holiday, but thanks to his rich championship experience and still online defensive level, this guy is a hot spot in the trading market, and teams such as the Clippers and Mavericks are interested in getting him.

The Mavericks are most likely to want to win Holiday, because Irving has a torn ACL in his left knee and is designated to miss most of next season. He urgently needs a starting point guard to replace him. The former has had a collaboration experience with Brother Davis during the Pelicans.

For 16 years of NBA career, Holiday's total salary is as high as US$287 million, holding two championship rings (Bucks & Green Kai), 6 best defensive lineups, two All-Stars, and two Olympic gold medals...

Holiday has never been a superstar, but it does not prevent him from having a nearly perfect career. I wish him good luck in the future, even if he is really traded by Green Kai, he will burn out his last heat!
