Should the Celtics Keep Holiday?…
Crack open those coconuts and tune your ear tuba, because we’re diving headfirst into the whacky whirlpool of the Deal or No Deal showdown! The Boston Celtics have to decide whether to hang onto Sr. Holiday — the dude who dribbled his heart out all over the parquet floors — for the 2025-26 NBA season. Jrue Holiday, the defensive dynamo, and three-point slinger saw his shooting stats take a rollercoaster ride in 2025. He averaged a cool 11.1 points per game — just enough to keep the bowling pins spinning, but alas, his knee and shoulder decided to tango with the injury boogeyman mid-season, making his hamstring scream for mercy during playoffs.
Jrue, the man with the basketball plan, has voiced his desire to snuggle into his favorite Boston spot like it’s Grandma’s rocking chair. “I still want to be a part of this heavy-hitting championship circus,” he trumpeted at his season-end soapbox. But oh, those Celtics! With their wallet strings sweatier than a hot dog at halftime, Holiday’s name keeps peeking out from the rumor mill piñata. Mavericks, Kings, and Clippers are stampeding with trade offers as if Jrue’s the golden goose of the NBA!
Dallas Mavericks are ready to arm-wrestle the salary puzzle to snatch Holiday, rumors led by Mark Stein insist. Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings are eyeing Holiday as their new floor general with starry dreams, even if they must juggle Malik Monk and Jonas Valanciunas to paint the court green. Out west, the Clippers, still licking their wounds from losing the 2023 Holiday dash, have marshaled a new trade brigade with Bogdanovic as their chosen chip. And why not? Toss in Derrick Jones Jr. and Kris Dunn, and you’ve got yourself a spicy hoops casserole ready for Boston! Verdict? Deal! Though in the magical land of basketball fantasy, Jrue’s Celtics journey is nearing a twisty-turny end — it’s a chapter the league won’t forget soon!
