Jrue Holiday Traded to Boston Celtics

Summary

All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday is on the move once again after he was traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Boston Celtics. The deal was part of a three-team trade that also involves the Indiana Pacers. In return for Holiday, the Bucks receive Malcolm Brogdon, while the Pacers receive a future first-round pick.

Details

Holiday, a four-time All-Star, has been one of the most consistent players in the NBA over the past several seasons. He averaged 18.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game for the Bucks last season, and he played a key role in the team's NBA championship victory. The Celtics are hoping that Holiday can provide them with another dynamic scorer and playmaker, and he should be a good fit alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. The Bucks, meanwhile, are getting a young, up-and-coming player in Brogdon. Brogdon averaged 19.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game for the Pacers last season, and he is a rising star in the NBA. The Bucks believe that Brogdon has the potential to be a future All-Star, and they are excited to add him to their team.
