New Orleans may be moving Holiday sometime next year in a full tear down. I think if Irving is gone that means Rozier should be kept. Something like 4 years 55M (13.75M annually). After the moratorium on free agent trades ends, send him with Guerschon(3.1M) and enough salary (20th pick and 22nd pick rookies = 5M) to get Holiday. Throw in Okafor and other scrubs to make it work. Adding Holiday to this lineup really fills out the depth nicely.
What do you guys think?
I don't think the Celtics should trade any assets or tie up cap space in win-now players. The Celtics are now all about The Jays. Any players the Celtics acquire should be affordable short-term placeholders, or they should be players on a similar timeline to The Jays.
To be clear, Holiday is a really nice player. He would make the Celtics better. But he wont' change the Celts from a non-contender into a contender. My feeling is the Celtics should be all about stockpiling and developing assets until they are able to draft, develop, or otherwise acquire a player who is good enough to make the team a contender.
