Jrue Holiday trade one year later: A success on every level for Boston Celtics

Locked On Celtics - Daily Podcast On The Boston Celtics

It's been one year since the Jrue Holiday trade, which obviously worked out perfectly for Boston, but it also had far-reaching effects around the league. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm explore how the Celtics' foresight in acquiring Holiday (and Kristaps Porzingis) anticipated the new CBA restrictions, reshaping their strategy in the NBA.

This episode highlights Holiday's seamless integration into the Celtics' system, showcasing his elite defensive skills and calming influence in the locker room. We also examine the ripple effects on the Milwaukee Bucks, who might regret trading him, and speculate on the Los Angeles Clippers' missed opportunity, leading them to James Harden instead.

Join us for an engaging discussion on the strategic brilliance of the Boston Celtics and the broader implications for the NBA. Tune in for unique insights into how these moves have impacted the league.
