Holiday averaged 19.3 points and 7.4 assists in Milwaukee last year, and has plenty of value for contending teams thanks to his experience and high level defense.
PORTLAND, Oregon — The Portland Trail Blazers made one of the biggest moves in franchise history on Wednesday, dealing seven time All-Star Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks in a three team blockbuster.
Holiday averaged 19.3 points and 7.4 assists in Milwaukee last season, and has plenty of value for contending teams thanks to his veteran presence and high level defense. If Dallas is willing to part with Tim Hardaway and Richaun Holmes they can make the money work, and a future pick or a young player could be enough to get the deal done.The Celtics are already expected to be in the Holiday sweepstakes, looking to improve their perimeter defense after sending out Marcus Smart earlier in the offseason. Adding Holiday would help them stop Lillard and the Bucks in the playoffs, now a major factor for any Eastern Conference squad.
Miami's known offer for Lillard, Tyler Herro and two firsts, wasn't enough to get a deal done but could work in exchange for Holiday, while giving them the point guard and defensive presence they desperately need.The 76ers are interested in acquiring Holiday and presumably could do so as part of a James Harden package, with Harden getting rerouted to a third team - likely the Clippers or Rockets.
