NBA writers and Insiders keep on proposing new and attractive trades between teams. Recently, Lee Tran from the Fadeaway World has proposed a mega trade involving Jrue Holiday.
Tran has proposed a trade idea between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Milwaukee Bucks. Here is the possible trade scenario!
The Jrue Holiday Trade Proposal
- The Los Angeles Lakers will receive Jrue Holiday and Grayson Allen.
- The Milwaukee Bucks will receive Norman Powell, Terance Mann, Bones Hyland, Amir Coffey, and Robert Covington.
Lee Tran wrote about Jrue Holiday, that he is a fantastic guard and has experience on how to win the title. He is a dynamic guard who can be no. 3 in the Bucks, and the Lakers need exactly a player like him.
Tran wrote in his column:
“There is no doubt that Jrue Holiday is a fantastic guard with championship experience.”
“He has shown that he can be the No. 3 option on a championship team with the Bucks in 2021: that is likely the role that he would play on the Clippers. It would definitely be interesting to see him in the backcourt with Russell Westbrook, as both are tenacious guards with a knack for perimeter defense. Holiday would likely play shooting guard due to his marksmanship from the 3PT range, and he would definitely make life easier for Westbrook offensively.”
Tran further added:
“The Clippers were originally going to target James Harden, but the Philadelphia 76ers have been reluctant to part with the guard. Now could be the time for the team to set their eyes on a different player like Holiday. That could also be a better fit from a basketball standpoint: Holiday is less ball-dominant than Harden and is a much better defender. Ty Lue is a coach who values defense and moving the ball, and the Clippers already have elite isolation scorers in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. It almost makes more sense to go after a complementary NBA player like Holiday rather than a focal point like Harden.”
