As per an ESPN insider, there's a possibility that the NBA Rumors - Golden State Warriors might enter discussions regarding a trade for Jrue Holiday, the guard from the Portland Trail Blazers. In this scenario, Chris Paul could potentially be part of the trade in the opposite direction.
As the dust begins to settle after the major Damian Lillard trade between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Milwaukee Bucks, the race to acquire Jrue Holiday from the Blazers is heating up. Various teams have been rumored as potential destinations, including the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. However, as the Bucks demonstrated, unexpected blockbuster deals can happen, and the Golden State Warriors might just enter the fray.
Against the odds, there's speculation among NBA insiders that the Golden State Warriors could enter trade discussions for the recently acquired Blazers guard, Jrue Holiday. Brian Windhorst of ESPN believes that if the Warriors can convince the Blazers to engage in a trade centered around Chris Paul, they should seize the opportunity.
However, it's essential to recognize that any hypothetical trade proposal involving Jrue Holiday and the Warriors would inevitably revolve around Chris Paul due to his significant salary. Still, this idea appears to be quite far-fetched from both the Warriors and Blazers' perspectives.
The Blazers acquired Holiday from the Bucks with the intention of trading him for valuable assets, further expanding their return from the Damian Lillard trade. The Warriors, while possessing promising young talents and draft assets, might not have the most enticing assets for Portland. Moreover, the Warriors have been actively integrating Chris Paul into their veteran roster, making it unlikely they'd be eager to trade him without giving him a regular season opportunity with the team. In the world of the NBA, though, unexpected surprises are not uncommon.
