Not believing this is a rumor. Thinking it's more speculation than anything judging from the OP's quoting from the podcast.

"Would be nice if Celtics could get Jrue Holiday."
"Celtics sniffing around."

You could do that for any player and turn it into a rumor.

"Would be nice if Celtics could get Clint Capela."
"Celtics sniffing around."

"Would be nice if Celtics could get Bradley Beal."
"Celtics sniffing around."

"Would be nice if Celtics could get Andre Drummond."
"Celtics sniffing around."

"Would be nice if Celtics could get Devin Booker."
"Celtics sniffing around."

"Would be nice if Celtics could get Karl Anthony Towns."
"Celtics sniffing around."

Then guess what? Suddenly there are crazy rumors of the Celtics after Holiday, Capela, Beal, Drummond, Booker and Towns.
This has been the reporting on DA almost every off season. It's either false or DA is a trolling tire kicker.

It is unclear what the Pelicans are doing.  Jrue is a great option due to his defense and not domineering the ball as a point.  His contract is big so it is suspected the price would be lower.  Whether it is true or not, he is someone I want the Celtics thinking about.

I'd love to pair him with Smart.  The defense would be stifling.  But sending 20th, 22nd, Smart and Yabusele would reasonable and could get the deal done this summer, and I don't see any other path.

Pair him with the Vuc signing, if possible, the lineup would be strong

Holiday, Brown, Tatum, Hayward, Vucevic with Williams, Ojeleye, 14th pick, Dozier

I don't like it. There's no "Js" in any of those names.

I don't think it s true either but a rumour from Lowe and a rumour from a person is not the same thing
