Celtics 'most definitely' looking to trade All-Star after Jayson Tatum injury | Sporting News

The Jayson Tatum Achilles injury changed everything in Boston.

The Celtics may have looked to change up their roster this offseason anyway, but now every move takes on a different sort of tone.

One name that has been frequently in trade speculation is star defensive guard Jrue Holiday.

According to NBA insider Jake Fischer , the Celtics are most definitely listening to trade calls involving Holiday.

Holiday turns 35 on Thursday, June 12.

The two-time All Star and champion is also a six-time All-Defensive member.

This season, Holiday averaged 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

He shot 35.3% from 3, his worst mark in six years.

A team trading for Holiday would likely hope that his 3-point shot could swing back upward again a little bit.

He may not fit a long contention window, but he has helped both the Bucks and the Celtics win championships, and he may still have enough ability inside him to get a third team to the biggest trophy in the NBA.
