The Portland Trail Blazers are expected to trade Jrue Holiday to another team after acquiring him from the Milwaukee Bucks in the Damian Lillard trade.

Holiday has a player option worth $37.4 million for the 24-25 season, which could give him some level of control over where he is traded.

Sources tell the Miami Herald that the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers are teams that appeal to Holiday. 

Holiday was traded by the New Orleans Pelicans to the Bucks during the 2020 offseason and helped the Bucks win the NBA championship that season.

Sep 22, 2023 9:38 PM

The Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors have emerged as teams who are believed to have engaged with the Portland Trail Blazers on trade talks for Damian Lillard, sources tell Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.

The Miami Heat have not factored primarily in Portland's recent dialogue, though they are expected to be engaged before the Blazers were to finalize a deal with another team.

The Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz could participate in a multi-team scenario.

The Blazers have strongly considered acquiring Deandre Ayton as part of a multi-team trade for Lillard. The Blazers have registered interest in Ayton in the past with the current scenario involving Jusuf Nurkic going to the Suns.

Bulls Gauged Trade Interest In Zach LaVine This Summer

Sep 1, 2023 9:44 AM

The Chicago Bulls didn't make any blockbuster moves this offseason, but they at least looked into the idea of one. Chicago took the temperature of other NBA in All-Star guard Zach LaVine, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

The Bulls ultimately extended Nikola Vucevic, re-signed Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu, and added Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig. Those moves came while Chicago works around Lonzo Ball being out for second consecutive season, as he recovers from a knee injury.

LaVine averaged 24.8 points on 48/37/85 shooting splits. LaVine also tallied 4.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game over 77 appearances.

The two-time All-Star guard has four years and $178 million remaining on the five-year deal he signed with Chicago in 2022. LaVine holds a player option on the final season in 2026-27.
