Celtics are expected to join Durant s deal! Unintentionally pursue KD, targeting multiple transactions to send Holiday away

On June 22, rumors about Suns star Durant's trade have been the focus of recent media and fans. It is reported that the Celtics are interested in joining Durant's multi-party trade. Their purpose is not to get Durant, but to take the opportunity to send Holiday away.

When talking about this deal, the famous reporter Zach Lowe said on the show that the Celtics may be discussing a three-party deal involving Durant, and Holiday will also participate.

Then Zach Lowe tweeted and explained: "It needs to be clarified here, because we hurriedly mentioned the very broad concept of three-party transactions involving Holiday + Durant at the end of the show. I mean Durant will go to the third team of these transactions (that is, the team on his roster), rather than going to Boston. The Celtics are not planning to trade for Durant. I thought this was obvious, but it should be said more clearly."

According to previous news, the teams on Durant's roster (that is, the next one) are: the Heat, the Spurs and the Rockets. Meanwhile, it is no secret that the Celtics hope to send Holiday away. The Celtics will have a total salary of $224 million next season, triggering the league's second-large tyrant line, and they must lower their salary standards given Tatum's almost seasonal reimbursement next season. Holiday signed a four-year, $135 million contract extension with the Celtics in 2023, and there are currently three years, $104.4 million left. The specific salary structure is: US$32.4 million in the 2025-26 season, US$34.8 million in the 2026-27 season, and US$37.2 million in the 2027-28 season.
