Possible Dallas Mavericks' Trade Target Taken Off the Market
Possible Dallas Mavericks' Trade Target Taken Off the Market originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Dallas Mavericks are expected to have a busy offseason. In addition to extending center Daniel Gafford for a three-year contract, the Mavericks are going to draft Cooper Flagg with the first overall pick. Advertisement With a well-rounded core of Flagg, Gafford, PJ Washington, Anthony Davis, and Klay Thompson, the Mavericks are expected to hit the ground running next season, although Kyrie Irving, who is still recovering from a torn ACL, might not be able to return at all next season. That leaves a glaring hole at point guard. With scorers like Davis, Washington, and Thompson on the team, the Mavs don't need a 20-point-per-game floor general, and free agents like Chris Paul, Tre Jones, and Dennis Schroder should be able to fill the gaps. Of course, Dallas could trade for a point guard, and as the Boston Celtics looked to cut salary, Jrue Holiday was the most realistic target. A high-level shooter and defender, Holiday fits Davis and Thompson's timelines while leaning into Nico Harrison's "defense wins championships" mantra. He is also a proven winner. However, the Portland Trail Blazers struck first, sending Anfernee Simons and two second-round picks to Boston for Holiday, who is expected to raise the team's floor while providing mentorship to Scoot Henderson, who remains a project. Advertisement Perhaps Portland will try to flip Holiday at or before the trade deadline, although by then, the Mavericks will have likely already found a temporary Irving replacement, making them uninterested in adding the two-time champion. Of course, in order to land Holiday in the first place, Dallas would have to give up a key player, which they would likely have been reluctant to do, anyway.

Why Did The Celtics Trade Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis? What's Next?
The Boston Celtics have been among the busiest teams in the NBA this offseason, making multiple trades in the days since the NBA Finals ended, but not for the reason a fan base of a contending team would want. Over the past week, Boston has traded away six-time All-Defensive guard Jrue Holiday and skilled big man Kristaps Porzingis for returns that, without context, left much to be desired. Boston's Trades Traded Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons and two future second-round picks Traded Porzingis to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team deal with the Brooklyn Nets for Georges Niang and a future second-rounder Why did Boston make these moves? Are the Celtics, who just won 61 games last season and the 2024 NBA Finals the year before, blowing it up in the wake of Jayson Tatum rupturing his Achilles tendon during the team's second-round series loss to the New York Knicks? Here's an explainer of the Celtics' transactions and what could be next. The Celtics were a second apron team Boston was one of three teams to exceed the second luxury tax apron, which bars teams from executing a variety of transactions, last season. Penalties for exceeding that threshold include not being able to make sign-and-trades, sending out cash in trades, using trade exceptions and using a mid-level exception, among other negatives. In addition, the Celtics were repeat luxury tax offenders, meaning the financial penalties would be even higher. Boston's two stars, Tatum and Jaylen Brown, have seismic contracts that push the franchise's payroll to extremes to begin with: Tatum begins a five-year, $313.9 million deal ($62.8 million average annual value) next season, and Brown is one season into a five-year, $303 million deal ($60.6 million AAV). The Celtics also extended guard Derrick White to a four-year, $118 million deal ($29.5 AAV) last summer, a contract which begins next season. Why Holiday and Porzingis were traded Holiday averaged 11.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and one steal per game, while shooting 46.4/39.2/87.2 per season over his two years in Boston. Porzingis averaged 19.8 points, seven rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, while shooting 50.2/39.2/83.8 over his two years in Boston. These trades had nothing to do with basketball, and everything to do with future savings. Holiday, who turned 35 earlier this month, has three seasons remaining on a four-year, $134.4 million deal. Meanwhile, Simons, a respectable scorer in his own right who averaged 20.7 points per game over the past three seasons, is entering the final season of a four-year, $100 million deal. Holiday is due to make roughly $32.4 million next season and a combined $72 million in the two seasons that follow, whereas Simons is due to make roughly $27.7 million next season and then hit the free-agent market: Boston got out of Holiday's contract. Porzingis is entering the final season of a two-year, $60 million deal, while Niang is entering the final season of a three-year, $25.5 million deal. In other words, Boston goes from paying Porzingis roughly $30.7 million next season to paying Niang roughly $8.2 million. The Celtics are now out of the second apron. What could be next for the Celtics? As for impending matters, Boston has the No. 28 and No. 32 picks in the 2025 NBA Draft, which begins on Wednesday night. Meanwhile, big men Al Horford and Luke Kornet are each scheduled to become free agents, with teams allowed to negotiate with players outside their roster starting on June 30. In all likelihood, Tatum, Brown and White will return, but given the combined $123.4 million average annual salary dedicated to Tatum and Brown — along with Tatum presumably missing next season — Boston would likely listen to a fair or overwhelming trade offer for White.

Jrue Holiday ‘pissed' to land with Trail Blazers after Celtics divorce
Jrue Holiday apparently hopes for another quick stay in Portland. The ex-Celtic is 'pissed' he's with the Trail Blazers after Boston moved him in a cost-cutting maneuver, longtime Celtics reporter Steve Bulpett wrote Tuesday for Advertisement Holiday previously spent four days as a Trail Blazer after being traded by the Bucks and then acquired by the Celtics in 2023. 'Now, if he winds up staying there, I'm sure he'll be the professional he's always been and make a positive contribution,' a source told Bulpett. '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. 'I'm sure if he has to go to Portland, he'll end up going and it'll be OK, but right now they want to be somewhere else. But with that contract, it's not going to be that easy.' Jrue Holiday during the second-round playoff series against the Knicks. NBAE via Getty Images Advertisement Holiday, 35, played a pivotal role in the Celtics winning the 2024 championship, but Boston is retooling after being a second apron luxury tax team, and also facing the realistic possibility that star Jayson Tatum will miss the entire season after tearing his Achilles in the second-round playoff series loss to the Knicks. Boston thus kicked off its moves by sending the respected veteran to Portland, where he figures to bring needed experience and defense to a young team hoping to become a Western Conference contender. It's understandable, though, that Holiday would allegedly be upset since he'll be 36 years old next season and surely would prefer to be on a sure-fire contender with his career winding down. Advertisement Holiday has won two titles in the last five years, one each with the Celtics and Bucks, and is entering his 17th season in the league. The Trail Blazers, should he remain, will be his fifth team. Portland, even if it takes the next step, is a long shot to come out of a loaded Western Conference, which includes the reigning champion Thunder, a Rockets team now employing Kevin Durant, the Nikola Jokic-led Nuggets and the expected Lakers tandem of LeBron James and Luka Doncic. It's certainly possible the Trail Blazers could once redirect Holiday to a contender, just like in 2023 when they acquired him from the Bucks in the Damian Lillard trade, and then sent the point guard to the Celtics in exchange for two players and two first-round selections. Advertisement The Celtics followed their Holiday trade by sending Kristaps Porzingis to Atlanta in a three-way deal, and there is plenty of interest in Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe. NBAE via Getty Images Sam Hauser and Anfernee Simons, acquired in the Holiday deal, could also be moved, per ESPN.
