Time to get creative. This is a thread wherein you come up with your best, REALISTIC trade with Jrue Holiday involved in it.

The one other caveat though: You cannot have the Brooklyn Nets or Golden State Warriors involved in the trade.

And it has to be realistic, ie a chance that both teams would do it.

So have fun, lets see em!

Jrue to Pacers for Brogdon and Turner
Jrue joins his brothers, Pels get a ball handler and the ideal big back. Would throw in our 2nd rounders also.

Jrue and JJ to Philly for Richardson, Scott, Smith, Thybulle (Scott cut, just needed for salary)
Philly gets the pieces they need to go with Simmons and Embiid, while taking pressure off the both of them.

Jrue and #13 to ATL for Collins, Huerter, Hunter
Atlanta gets a win now piece next to Trae, and the defensive force they need to cover his deficiency on that end.

3 team trade:
Jazz: Jrue
Clips: Conley and Utah 1st
Pels: Pat Beverly, Shamet, S&T of Harrel 3/36, 2024 Utah 1st, 2026 Utah 1st (lottery protected, turns into 2-2nds).

Jazz get Jrue to pair with Mitchell (would be a scary combo). Clips get Conley who fits their style and a 1st to build this season. Pels get a backup to Zion who effectively plays the 5, a "dog" in Beverley, a shooter in Shamit, and some far out 1st rounders

What if I included JJ in a trade with the Nets, but sent Jrue elsewhere?

We can probably cross out at least 1/3 of the league when considering a Jrue deal. There's just no way we'd disrespect Jrue by sending him to a bad team. That limits things a little bit.

MPJ and Herro have both played themselves out of any Jrue deal, and i'm not interested any deal built around Gary Harris or Kendrick Nunn.

The Easiest one is the Jrue for Myles Turner swap. Listened to a Pacers pod and they were all in on that deal. Jrue wasn't on the table at the time, but we called Indy about Turner before the Favors deal, so we know the FO likes him.

There's Jrue for Mccollum. Portland gets more defense next to Dame and we get a more consistent scoring punch at SG.

I guess this one isn't actually realistic because LA wouldn't have the balls to do it, but Jrue for Paul George. I always thought PG and Kawhi were so similar in styles that the actually fit wouldn't be great. Too much taking turns between the two, because they basically do the same stuff on the court.

I think the Nets are the most likely destination (more likely than not actually) in a Jrue trade. Getting to play in CA with a contending Warriors would probably be very appealing to Jrue too. I would like to trade him to ATL or CHI for a player (Huerter, Porter, Markannen...etc.) + high pick, but if the team decides to trade him, they are going to take into account that Jrue wants to play his twilight for a contender.

Return value will get a boost if Jrue is involved in the discussions and is willing to sign an extension with his new team. Due to a lack of tradeable assets and/or mathcing salary, I don't think it would work out with the Clippers, Raptors, Mavs, Spurs, Heat, or Bucks. So that leaves 76ers, Nuggets, Blazers, Pacers and maybe the Suns as a wildcard if Jrue thinks they are competitive enough and are on the westcoast with Monty.

76ers
Jrue + 13 + Hayes + future protected 1st for Embiid
Jrue for Horford, Thybulle, #21 + top 3 protected 2021 pick with option to roll over to 2022 and 2023 swap option.

I think an Embiid + Zion pairing is too much injury risk and we would have to commit to a much slower pace which does not seem to be the direction Griff wants to go. Philly probably wants more draft assets than back of lotto 1sts for Embiid too.

Nuggets
MPJ and Harris for Jrue
I am not a huge fan of MPJ with the risk he carries on that second contract, but he seems to be valued around the league and would be a good piece for another trade. Jokic and Murray are so young, Denver likely will just continue to build through the draft, but if they get a bit fed up with some of MPJ's bubble antics, Jrue is the perfect gurard to pair with Murray.

Blazers
The Blazers would need to send CJ McCollum to a 3rd team to get assets and match salary.
Magic get CJ McCollum + Ariza
Pels get Aaron Gordon + #15
Blazers get Jrue and Ross

Pacers
Turner for Jrue

Suns
Jrue for Oubre + 10

Said this a few times in the past:

Portland: Holiday (and either Melli or Miller)

Pels: McCollum and Collins

Jrue, Miller, and 2021 1st for PG13

BI moves to the two and have a ton of length.

Clips get a defender that pairs better with Kawhi to let him play his natural position and the Clippers 1-3 are the best defensive unit in basketball and still have shooting and flexibility, if they need. Recoup a 1st round pick

A very simple Jrue for Paul George swap does both teams good
