The cliff fell! The 35-year-old All-Star! He is going to be sold
According to famous reporter Marc Stein, the Celtics may trade Holiday.
Although Holiday has been struggling with persistent injuries throughout the regular season, as a recognized "winner" and top defender, if the Celtics do intend to trade him, its market value will still attract the interest of multiple championship teams. Jay King, Celtics reporter, reported that Holiday expressed his desire to stay with the Celtics and believed that the team's championship window is still open. He emphasized that the Celtics not only have outstanding talent in the lineup, but their coaching staff and even management are at the top level.
Holiday said: "We are disappointed in ourselves, we feel that we have disappointed the expectations of the team's management and the entire city. I think we still have a very, very good chance to compete for the championship. We are still in the window period to be able to succeed and win the championship again. The chance to win is in the present moment, and I still yearn to be one of them."
However, the reality is cruel. The Celtics were expected to build a new dynasty the year before, but now the team's situation has been turned upside down, and we can basically go to the wrong place next season.
First of all, the team's star Tatum, who suffered a rupture of the Achilles tendon in the just-concluded semi-finals. It is conservatively estimated that it will take at least 10 months to start. This does not guarantee the state after returning. Therefore, once the team starts poorly next season, the management may strategically choose to play badly.
The second is that the team's salary structure has been seriously unbalanced. Next season, with Tatum's 5-year super maximum salary of 314 million yuan officially taking effect, there are 5 players within the team with an annual salary of more than 25 million yuan, and the salary pressure will be further intensified. At present, they have already surpassed the second rich line.
The first year that the new boss took over this season, the loss has exceeded US$80 million. Next season, it is expected that the team's total salary + luxury tax will exceed US$500 million, which is not something that ordinary team bosses can afford.
If no adjustment is made, the loss amount will be further increased, especially considering Tatum's regular season reimbursement, tickets and off-the-counter revenue will also be greatly reduced.
Finally, Holiday's own competitive state plummeted, which is not matched by his average salary of $35 million.
This season, Holiday's output and efficiency have declined significantly due to age and injuries. He averaged only 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in the regular season, and his real shooting percentage is 56.5%.
In the playoffs, it declined more thoroughly, with only 9.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4 assists per game, especially in the semi-final tiebreak game, he made 1 of 8 shots in the game, only 3 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, which was almost a cliff-like decline in the past two years.
, and corresponding to it is his four-year, US$135 million contract. This contract was signed last year and has only been performed for one year. Considering that he is about to be 35 years old, there is a risk of failure.
So when facing a 35-year-old Holiday who is declining in shape and has a big contract, once the Celtics decide to reorganize the lineup, the first thing to do is Holiday + Porzingis.
However, with the reputation of Holiday's two championships and the attributes of the top defender, he still has a certain market. He helped win the championship in his first year of joining the team, and this signing is also worth it.
