The Celtics are scheduled to pay a record tax bill. Last year, it was worth it because they won the championship title. This year, however, they failed, and next year, they will be without Tatum. One of the rumored players out is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/h\/holidjr01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jrue Holiday<\/a>, and now, we know the trade price.<\/p>\n<h2>Jrue Holiday Trade Price Revealed, 4 Teams Should Pay It<\/h2>\n<p>Per several reports, the Celtics have a trade price of one first-round pick and some salary relief for Holiday. It is worth noting that the two teams that traded for Holiday in the past several years, the Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks, won a title immediately after. When the Celtics traded for Jrue, they gave <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/brogdma01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Malcolm Brogdon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/w\/williro04.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Williams<\/a>, and two first-round picks, one in 2024 and one in 2029. With the price of one first-round pick, the Celtics are losing half of what they paid. But salary relief is crucial for a team over the second apron without their franchise player for next season. Here are five teams that should consider paying the price for Holiday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Boston Celtics are reportedly seeking a first-round pick for Jrue Holiday, per <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HPbasketball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@HPbasketball<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHall of Famer Marc Stein reported this weekendthat Boston is in fact listening to trade offers for Holiday, something most people assumed.

What better way to increase their chances than trading for one of the most impactful players in terms of winning in the past five years? They have <a href=\"https:\/\/fanspo.com\/nba\/teams\/mavericks\/7\/draft-picks\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tradeable picks<\/a> in 2026, 29, and 31.

Washington<\/a>, along with a pick, could be highly intriguing for the Celtics. Alternatively, the Mavs could package contracts like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/m\/martica02.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-06-09_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Caleb Martin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/h\/hardyja02.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-06-09_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jaden Hardy<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/m\/marshna01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-06-09_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Naji Marshall<\/a>.

With their core players all over 30, this might be the time to cash some chips and try to get a championship-caliber player. They have <a href=\"https:\/\/fanspo.com\/nba\/teams\/golden-state-warriors\/10\/draft-picks\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tradeable picks<\/a>, but their challenge is finding contracts. With most of their salary tied up in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/butleji01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jimmy Butler<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/c\/curryst01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Steph Curry<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/g\/greendr01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Draymond Green<\/a>, the Warriors have only one more player making more than $10 million, and that is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/m\/moodymo01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Moses Moody<\/a>. Jrue will make $30+ million this year, making it hard to make a trade without getting a third team involved.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_144108\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-144108\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25804362_168404824_lowres.jpg\" target=\"_self\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-144108\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25804362_168404824_lowres-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25804362_168404824_lowres-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25804362_168404824_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25804362_168404824_lowres-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25804362_168404824_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25804362_168404824_lowres-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25804362_168404824_lowres-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25804362_168404824_lowres.jpg 1994w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-144108\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mar 29, 2025; San Antonio, Texas, USA; Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (4) shoots over San Antonio Spurs forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/s\/sochaje01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-06-09_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jeremy Sochan<\/a> (10) in the first half at Frost Bank Center.

There are already <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2025\/06\/07\/kevin-durant-spurs-trade-rumor\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">rumors floating around about a star trade<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/d\/duranke01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin Durant<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/a\/antetgi01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a>. But should they also pay the trade price for Jrue Holiday? With an <a href=\"https:\/\/fanspo.com\/nba\/teams\/san-antonio-spurs\/27\/draft-picks\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">abundance of draft capital<\/a>, the Spurs can easily find something for the Celtics. And because they are below the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/contracts\/SAS.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">salary cap<\/a>, they can take on Holiday\u2019s contract and send someone like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/barneha02.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harrison Barnes<\/a> the other way.<\/p>\n<h3>Los Angeles Clippers<\/h3>\n<p>The Los Angeles Clippers might be a sneaky suitor for several around-the-edge guys. They were one of the more interesting teams during the 2024-25 season. One of their strengths was their deep rotation. Last summer, the Clippers turned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/g\/georgpa01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paul George<\/a> into several rotational players. But with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/h\/hardeja01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James Harden<\/a> running the point, the Clippers need someone to take on the defensive duties. Enter Holiday, who can play off the ball and on the ball. It might cost the Clippers either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bogdabo01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bogdan Bogdanovic<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/j\/jonesde02.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Derrick Jones Jr<\/a>, or even both, to pull off that trade. But Jrue is a championship-experienced player who wins everywhere he goes. This might be the final chance to win a title with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/l\/leonaka01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kawhi Leonard<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Featured image: \u00a9 Eric Canha-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following Jayson Tatum\u2019s injury, plenty of people around the NBA believe that the Boston Celtics will have to shed some salary.
