NBA Report: LA Lakers finally sign Jrue Holiday for $85 Million’s… See more…
The Damian Lillard trade drama came to a close last night with Lillard being moved to the Milwaukee Bucks in a three-team trade. The deal included the Suns sending Deandre Ayton for Jusuf Nurkic and a gaggle of role-players, but the biggest moving piece not named Dame was Jrue Holiday, who is an out-of-place veteran on a young Blazers squad.
With the Blazers needing to move Jrue to keep guard space open for Scoot Henderson, Anfernee Simons, and Shaedon Sharpe to develop, they’ll be fielding offers from teams around the league. But there is one team that should do everything they can to get their hands on Holiday to complete their title-contending roster, and that’s the Lakers.
Even if it may seem expensive, there are contending teams with draft assets that are lining up massive offers to get Holiday for the major swing he provides. He was an All-Star last season and is the best two-way guard in the league, so the price for him can be hefty and worth it.
