NEW:
Per sources, Celtics trying to move into the lottery. Illinois guard Kasparas Jakucionis said to be a target.
Plus: Jrue Holiday reportedly very unhappy being dealt to Trail Blazers. Another trade possible.

Drew Peterson and other younger #Celtics loved playing with Holiday: “Another cliche thing is, ‘I want to be like Jrue Holiday,’ but it really is a guy that’s perfectly embodied fitting into a role.”

Asked Drew Peterson last week what he’s learned from Jrue Holiday. Boston’s younger players loved Holiday as they tried to pull things from his game: “He’s just always there in the big moments.” @TheGardenReport pic.x.com/iRFx7OOTWJ – 1:06 PM

The list of players who’ve won a ring with more than 1 team is short. It’s interesting to me that this feat feels like just an * for some players’ careers whereas for others it DEFINES them. I put Jrue and Caruso in the 2nd group – portability personified as @ElGee35 might say. pic.x.com/FqjdBBoCIP – 11:26 AM

Jrue Holiday could be the first domino to fall for salary slashing Boston. Sam Hauser, a 40-plus percent three-point shooter, has generated strong interest. Hauser will begin a four-year, $45 million extension next season. – 10:35 AM

I once wrote a story on why Jrue Holiday appreciated Chauncey Billups during Holiday’s VERY brief time with the Blazers a couple of years ago. Seems relevant now: nytimes.com/athletic/53352… – 2:24 AM

More on this storyline
Yossi Gozlan: The Boston Celtics have reduced their luxury tax penalty by nearly $210 million by trading Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday for Anfernee Simons and Georges Niang. $238 million in total savings so far and are now $4.5 million below the second apron. -via Twitter @YossiGozlan / June 24, 2025
According to one source close to the situation, Holiday is “pissed” he’s going to Portland. “Now, if he winds up staying there, I’m sure he’ll be the professional he’s always been and make a positive contribution,” said the source. “But he’s not happy with this deal. I’ll be surprised if Portland doesn’t move him on if they can, because right now he does not want to go there. -via Heavy.com / June 24, 2025
Bobby Marks: Trading Kristaps Porzingis now puts Boston under the second apron. The Porzingis and Jrue Holiday trades save Boston a projected $180M in tax penalties. -via Twitter @BobbyMarks42 / June 24, 2025
