Are the Boston Celtics better with Jrue Holiday?

The Boston Celtics underwent significant roster changes in the NBA’s 2023 offseason, with a major addition to the storied ball club being former Milwaukee Bucks floor general Jrue Holiday. This move is a crucial one as it ought to bolster the team’s chances of winning an NBA title, especially after a tough seven-game 2023 Eastern Conference Finals loss to the Miami Heat.

However, while there is excitement about Holiday’s arrival, it’s important to recognize that the Celtics lost four key rotation players in Marcus Smart, Malcolm Brogdon, Grant Williams, and Robert Williams III and only added two proven replacements in Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. This situation places pressure on players like Lamar Stevens and Oshea Brissett to step up on the team’s second unit.
