Brett-Siegel: Kings are interested in Celtic defender Ju Holiday

According to Brett Siegel of Clutch Points, the Kings are interested in Celtic defender Ju Holiday.

"Ju Holiday's salary is expected to be $32.4 million next season. Will he be the first domino to fall in the offseason? New general manager Scott Perry publicly stated that the team needs a "real point guard" so Holiday's joining is reasonable."

Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics are facing serious financial pressure. Their estimated total salary next season is $227.7 million, and the luxury tax will reach $238.1 million — a figure that exceeds the total salary itself. To avoid an overwhelming luxury tax penalty, the Boston Celtics are expected to explore player roster adjustments. "

Then, the two most noteworthy players are Ju Holiday and Christaps Porzingis."

This season's regular season, Holiday averaged 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, shooting percentage of 44.3%, and three-point shooting percentage of 35.3%.
