Does a Jrue Holiday trade make sense for the Boston Celtics given the cost?

The Milwaukee Bucks traded for star floor general Damian Lillard, sending vet point guard Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for the time being, who will likely flip Holiday for additional assets next to the three future firsts or swaps they acquired from Milwaukee.

One of the best defensive guards in the league who can shoot, pass and score will bring a hefty return back to Milwaukee, Holiday going to the Bucks in the first place for five firsts. He’s only signed for one year before he can opt out of his deal though, so would the Boston Celtics moving on from matching salary like Malcolm Brogdon and Robert Williams III be worth it?

CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning and John Zannis debate how Boston could get a deal done, especially if the Heat decide to pursue Holiday, on a new episode of the “Garden Report” podcast.
