Should the Boston Celtics trade Jrue Holiday or Kristaps Porzingis to get out of the second apron? The Celtics are looking at getting hit with the worst of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA)'s second apron penalties after having a historic payroll and tax bill set to come due for the NBA's 2025-26 season if they do not trim some salary.

While Jrue Holiday continues to be in trade rumors, what it would take to land the two-time champion is starting to become clear.

During the 2024-25 NBA season, Holiday played in 62 games for the Celtics. He averaged 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, while shooting 44.3 percent from the floor overall and knocking down 35.3 percent of his three-point attempts.
