Following the blockbuster Damian Lillard trade, Jrue Holiday found himself on the move once again, this time to the Boston Celtics. Under the guidance of Joe Mazzulla, Holiday quickly became a key player in the Celtics’ starting lineup, forming a dynamic partnership with Derrick White in the backcourt.
Despite his success in Boston, Holiday couldn’t help but express his disappointment with how his former team, the Milwaukee Bucks, handled his trade. During a recent interview on “The Draymond Green Show,” Holiday revealed his shock at the lack of communication from the Bucks front office, saying he wished they had given him more notice before the trade.
With the Celtics expected to face the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals, Holiday will have the opportunity to prove his worth against his former team. As one of the top defenders in the league, Holiday will undoubtedly relish the challenge of guarding Lillard, the player he was traded for just months earlier.
While the Celtics may have the edge on paper, the Bucks are a formidable opponent, and Holiday’s performance will be crucial to Boston’s success in the playoffs. If Holiday can help lead the Celtics to the NBA Finals, it may be the ultimate redemption for the veteran guard, and a chance to move on from his disappointing exit from Milwaukee.
