While Jrue Holiday continues to be in trade rumors, what it would take to land the two-time champion is starting to become clear.

What can the Boston Celtics hope to get back in a Jrue Holiday trade? The Celtics are widely expected to try to offload salary before the 2026 NBA trade deadline as they stare down the collective bargaining agreement (CBA)'s dreaded second apron penalties triggered by Boston's historic payroll and tax bill.

During the 2024-25 NBA season, Holiday played in 62 games for the Celtics. He averaged 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, while shooting 44.3 percent from the floor overall and knocking down 35.3 percent of his three-point attempts.
