Jrue Holiday Was Acquired By The Celtics From The Blazers In Exchange For Malcolm Brogdon And Robert Williams III. The Celtics Are $16,166,777 Above The Salary Cap And Have The Fifth-Highest Payroll In The League, increasing their Luxury Tax.
The Celtics Are Now Seen As Title Favourites This Year After The Acquisitions Of Holiday And Porzingis. But The Celtics Would Enter The Season With A Different Nucleus Of Players Than In Years Past. They Very Likely Have The Greatest Starting Five In The League, But By Adding Jrue And Kristaps, They Sacrificed A Lot Of Depth.
