Jrue Holiday says

The veteran Guard Jrue Holiday told reporters on Saturday that he wanted to trace it with the Boston Celtics next season.

According to Jay King of the Athletic, he said that the Celtics championship window is still open, and he would like to help you fight another title during the 2025-26 campaign.

The vacation also said: “I think we had the best team in the league” and added that he believed that the team disappointed the city of Boston and the Celtics organization.

This season the Celtics joined a dominant season in 2023-24 this season as favorites, but they were far from expectations.

Although Boston had the third best record of the league in the regular season with 61: 21, he was unable to cross the second round of the playoffs and fell into the New York Knicks in six games.

The Celtics were not in full strength during the series, since an illness of the heavily limited Star Big Man Kristaps Porziņģi's minute and superstar striker Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles in game 4.

As a result, Boston went out with a whimper and fell to New York in the game 6 of 119-81.

The holiday, which will be 35 years old next month, has performed important contributors for the Celtics in the last two seasons.

Although his numbers have had such a deep squad compared to his time at the Milwaukee Bucks since the Celtics, he was particularly effective as a defender last season and took sixth place in the NBA defensive player of the year and achieved an NBA selection of the NBA-all-defensive second team.

This season, the two-time all-star and the two-time NBA champion achieved an average of 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.1 steals per game, although it was not as efficient as usual and only 44.3 percent from the field and 35.3 from beyond the arch.

Nevertheless, King reported on Saturday that the vacation would probably be interested in “several competing teams” if the Celtics were entertaining trade offers.

There was still no indication that the Celtics is going to do this, but since Tatum probably missed most or the entire season 2025-26, it is not outside the area of ​​the possibility that Boston could try to take a big step to replace something that he brings to the table.

At the same time, the current core of the Celtics is also strong without Tatum, so it is easy to imagine Boston, lead the vacation and make a few changes to the list in the low season.
