With the Blazers not done dealing, Jrue Holiday is almost certain to be on the move. The Sixers, who want to unload James Harden, have expressed interest, according to sources.
The already hazardous potholes complicating what the 76ers hope is a road to win an NBA title this season just turned into gigantic craters.to win their second title in four seasons after acquiring All-NBA point guard Damian Lillard.three-team deal that included the Phoenix Suns
Now, after this deal, one has to wonder how long the Sixers will hold on to their own disgruntled point guard, James Harden. A source confirmed that the team is interested in acquiring Holiday from the Blazers. That move would somewhat narrow the championship gap the Bucks created with the acquisition of Lillard.
Holiday, 33, is a two-time All-Star and a five-time All-Defensive performer. He averaged 19.3 points, 7.4 assists, and 1.2 steals last season and has a reputation as one of the NBA’s best defenders, which would buoy a Sixers team that has struggled to contain on the perimeter. The Sixers tried to reacquire Holiday on multiple occasions during his tenure with the New Orleans Pelicans, according to sources.Holiday has two years and $72.3 million left on his contract.
The Sixers have been steadfast about trading Harden only in exchange for an All-Star player or assets that could lead them to that type of player. Until they make that type of move, the Sixers, on paper, will have dropped several notches behind the Bucks in the championship race.
