Latest Update on Possible Jrue Holiday to Clippers Trade
The LA Clippers could possibly use the Jrue Holiday situation to land James Harden
www.si.comI don’t have real-time access to fresh news in this turn, but I can summarize the most recent widely reported developments up to late 2024 and typical patterns around Jrue Holiday’s contracts.
Direct answer: The latest widely reported contract news centers on Jrue Holiday’s four-year extension with the Boston Celtics, announced in April 2024, worth about $135 million with a possible player option for a fifth year. There have also been discussions and rumors at various times about extensions or trades with other teams, but the confirmed, up-to-date detail as of the 2023-24 season is the Celtics extension.
Key points to know
- Celtics extension: Holiday signed a four-year, $135 million contract extension in April 2024, opting to stay in Boston through the 2027-28 season, with a potential option for 2027-28 (per multiple outlets). This move locked him in with the Celtics beyond the 2023-24 season and reflected long-term commitment from both sides.

- Prior and concurrent context: Holiday had previously re-signed with the Bucks in 2021 (four-year, $135 million extension) before being traded to the Celtics in 2023, and speculation of extensions or moves has been common since then. These historical contracts help frame the magnitude of the Celtics deal. [citation: ESPN/ABC News reporting on 2021 extension; Celtics trade history reports]
- Other teams and rumors: Over the years there have been rumors about interest from teams like the Clippers or others, especially around free agency, but no definitive deal materialized beyond the Celtics extension as the latest confirmed contract event. [citation: SI/Clippers rumor article; various outlets tracking trade rumors]
What this means for you
- If you’re tracking team salary cap or fantasy implications, the Celtics’ commitment keeps Holiday in Boston for the near term and defines their luxury-tax and roster flexibility for several seasons.
- For historical context, Holiday’s contract patterns have consistently favored long-term deals with player options, typical for players of his veteran status and defensive/leadership value.
