Clippers chase Holiday and Harden? US media lists three-party trading plans: Bogdan and other three become chips

On May 29, according to Celtics Brian Rob, the Celtics reporter: "Holly is expected to be the pursuit target of many teams in the trading market. A league source revealed that the Los Angeles Clippers are one of the teams expected to show interest in the 34-year-old defender this summer." Rob added that when the Celtics traded in 2023, the Clippers were one of the teams participating in the bidding. The interest is logical: Holiday is still a top defensive player, and can both hold the ball and run without the ball on the offense. The Clippers lacked this kind of offense and defense role in the first round loss to the Nuggets, and Holiday is highly compatible with their needs. In addition, Clippers owner Ballmer is very willing to invest in building a competitive team, so this high contract may not be a burden to them.

So how do the Clippers get Holiday through trade? The US media listed a framework for the three-party transactions of the Celtics, Clippers and Nets - The Celtics got: Bogdan, Dunn, Clippers got: Zhu Holiday

Nets got: Eubanks, draft compensation from both teams, The Theoretical, this deal may be beneficial to all parties. The Celtics will cut their salary by $11 million and get two contracts due. In addition, Dunn and Bogdan are both reliable rotation players who can still contribute to winning.

The Clippers will get their long-coveted Holiday, and at the same time, they only need to send out three expiration contracts. Dunn may be the player they don't want to send away, but the Clippers can replace him with players like Kobe Brown or Jordan Miller.

Finally, the Nets will receive some sort of draft assets in return for helping to facilitate the deal.
