Jrue Holiday’s arrival in Boston came after undergoing extension talks with the Bucks last summer, saying then that he hoped to stay in Milwaukee for the remainder of his career. Soon, he landed in Portland after the shocking Damian Lillard trade, assessing various destinations where the Trail Blazers could re-route him before training camp. Holiday quickly settled on the Boston Celtics as his preference.
So it came as no surprise that, despite Boston and Holiday being unable to discuss an extension until April due to NBA trade rules, the guard told MassLive this week that he hopes to remain a member of the Celtics long-term rather than going into free agency this summer.
