Celtics want to trade Holiday s salary cut: asking for a first-round draft pick and accepting salary matching players

According to reporter Matt Moore, the Celtics' trade price for Holiday is a first-round draft pick.

It is reported that the Celtics may trade Holiday in the offseason to reduce salary pressure. Matt Moore wrote: "Although the focus is on salary cuts, sources revealed that the Celtics' trade asking price for Holiday is a first-round pick and the player who accepts salary matching."

If no adjustments are made during the offseason, the Celtics will have the most expensive NBA lineup next season. Star forward Tatum may miss the entire 2025-26 season due to a tear in his right Achilles tendon. The Clippers and Mavericks are interested in trading Holiday, who will earn $32.4 million next season.

Holiday played 62 games for the Celtics this season, averaging 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, shooting percentage of 44.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 35.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 90.9%. In the 2025 playoffs, he averaged 10.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in seven games against the Magic and the Knicks.
