Why the Jrue Holiday trade shows the Boston Celtics are all-in on the title hunt

The Boston Celtics‘ recent trade for All-Star floor general Jrue Holiday signals a strong commitment to their championship aspirations for the looming 2023-24 NBA season. In a bold move, the Celtics have acquired the star guard from the Portland Trail Blazers after his trade there from the Milwaukee Bucks as part of the deal that brought star point guard Damian Lillard to the Bucks.

The trade, bolstering Boston’s roster and increasing their chances of contending for an NBA championship in 2024, shows the team’s dedication to winning it all in the season ahead, especially after public comments from Celtics Governor Wyc Grousbeck to such an effect.
