Seconds after we all got over the massive shock brought about by the Damian Lillard–to–Milwaukee news, the next logical question hovering over the NBA title conversation became crystal clear: Which contending team will land All-NBA defender Jrue Holiday?
Portland has him for now, but with the Blazers being on the front end of a rebuild—and having just drafted floor general Scott Henderson—they almost certainly won’t keep the 33-year-old. (If they do, it’d only be until the trade deadline, in hopes of building a bigger trade market for him.)
With just days to go before NBA training camps open, any number of clubs could use an ace-level defender with a ring to his credit. So we wrote up the six clubs who could benefit most by trading for Holiday’s services now that he’s likely to be on the move again.
