Will the Jrue Holiday trade put the Boston Celtics past the Milwaukee Bucks with Damian Lillard?

Damian Lillard Jrue Holiday Celtics Bucks the Boston Celtics The Milwaukee Bucks

In response to the Milwaukee Bucks deciding to trade for star point guard Damian Lillard, the Boston Celtics moved to pick up former Bucks All-Star floor general Jrue Holiday, strengthening their defensive and playmaking capabilities as a result.

This trade puts both teams in a position to be top contenders in the NBA’s Eastern Conference, and it is a clear attempt by the Celtics to build a squad capable of not only stopping the Bucks but winning it all in the 2024 NBA Finals. The Celtics can also ensure that they always have at least one All-Defensive guard on the court as a result of the trade.

The key to success may hinge on the Celtics’ frontcourt’s health and depth over the long season.

The folks behind The Score YouTube channel put together a clip analyzing the deal in the context of their battle for East supremacy this season in the video embedded above; check it out.
