Brooklyn is the only team that could absorb Holiday’s deal outright into their cap space. Otherwise, the other team involved in acquiring Holiday would need to send out at least $25.9 million in salary for the trade to work under CBA rules if it goes through after July 1st. Holiday is set to make $32.4 million next season.

For all of the talk about the Boston Celtics looking to make major changes to their roster this offseason, the number of quality players they might move on from seemingly keeps dwindling leading up to the start of free agency.

According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Kings are interested in kicking the tires on a Holiday trade. The Kings traded De'Aaron Fox last season. With the Kings in the market for a new starting point guard, Holiday could be the answer to their issues. They are a team that is caught in the middle, but they are still trying to win.

The Boston Celtics are likely to trade Kristaps Porzingis for salary cap relief, but they could replace him with a top shot-blocker according to a new mock draft. The post Celtics New Mock Draft Replaces Kristaps Porzingis With All-American 7-Footer appeared first on Heavy Sports.
