Does the Jrue Holiday trade to the Boston Celtics hint at the end of free agency?

The Portland Trail Blazers have traded All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday to the Boston Celtics, completing a series of multi-team deals that started with superstar floor general Damian Lillard. In exchange for Holiday, Boston gave up fan-favorite big man Robert Williams III, 2023 Sixth Man of the Year Malcolm Brogdon, An unprotected Boston 2029 first round pick, and a 2024 first-round draft pick from the Golden State Warriors.

The move adds firepower to the Celtics but also raises questions about the team’s guard and big man depth, as some of their key players have injury concerns. The trade also intensifies the competition in the Eastern Conference, with the Milwaukee Bucks also making significant moves.
