Jrue Holiday’s debut season in Boston has been a blast, as the veteran guard is reportedly looking to extend his stay with the Celtics. Despite his happiness in his new home, Holiday still harbors some bitterness over how his time with the Bucks ended.
After being a crucial part of the Bucks’ championship-winning team in 2021, Holiday was unexpectedly traded to Portland in a deal involving Damian Lillard. The abrupt nature of the trade left Holiday feeling blindsided, expressing on a podcast that he wished he had more notice given his dedication to the franchise.
Luckily for Holiday, he never had to suit up for the rebuilding Trail Blazers. Boston swooped in just days later, acquiring the two-time All-Star in a trade that sent shockwaves through the league. Since joining the Celtics, Holiday has seamlessly integrated into the team, helping them secure the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
While Boston may have to face off against his former team in the playoffs, Holiday is determined to make the most of his time in Beantown. If the Celtics were to overcome the Bucks en route to a championship, it would undoubtedly make Holiday’s journey all the more satisfying in his new home.
