The Jrue Holiday Contract Is... Interesting

Jrue Holiday has signed a new 4 year, $135 million extension with the Boston Celtics.

The underrated part of this is that the Celtics already have some good young guys in the g league and on the bench with cheap contracts. Also have tons of second round picks to be able to develop players into productive bench guys for cheap.

I think that's certainly the idea on both sides, but I do think k in years past you could always point to something (more than one something, really) as the reason(s) they fell short, other than the inefficiency of having so much of the teams resources wrapped up in two guys who largely duplicate each other's skill sets. This year, there aren't a lot of excuses. If they disappoint, there could certainly be some changes.

[@sadmarinersfan8935]

The NBA is going to have a lockout with all the insane contracts lol

[@josephrafferty6763]

The current CBA expires after the 2029-30 season, so if so, it's going to be a while... And tbh, the contracts aren't that crazy. The players only get 50%. The league makes $10 bil/year with a roughly 30% profit margin (that's $3 billion in profit for the owners, or $100 mil each). And that's just cash flow and just from actual basketball. Many of the franchises are appreciating enormously and many of the owners have other revenue streams from owning the arenas.

[@Amm17ar]

The age and his decline in production on a team that fills the stat sheet already is concerning. I think its a smart move in terms of if they didn't, they didn't have the flexibility to add someone in FA of his caliber right now. What he does off the stat sheet is why he got the deal, but I don't know if in a year or two hell still be able to do all those things. I think has the potential to be a bad contract, but if the cap goes up it shouldn't be too bad. They still have a lot of their picks and young assets (ish) to work with to acquire guys via trade. Its a good move for now, but it could age a bit poorly imo.

I think it's a very smart move for the Celtics - they have a championship window right now and in 2 years, they can use any of the 4 contracts to trade for a unhappy superstar to pair with Tatum - like Ant Edwards or Devin Booker and immediately retool for the next championship window. Basically as long as the ownership is willing to pay the tax, the Celtics will have a championship contending roster.

[@WolfsDE]

I have zero issues with the Jrue Holiday contract. He is a true point guard, has a defensive mindset and if the Celtics do win the title this year, with how much the league loves to copycat each other, I think we could see them getting back to more balance on the defensive end of the floor and not so many 140+ point games for teams. It is starting to mean nothing when it happens 40 times a year. Which is insane. 140 points by a single team should be something that happens 1, maybe 2 times in a single season. This isn't including overtime games. But it would be nice after the crapshow at the All-Star game and if Boston wins the title, to see the league bring back a couple of things to balance things out again. Like get rid of the 3 second rule in the paint. Not saying that someone should be able to spend 24 seconds in the paint, but say...10 seconds? I don't think that is too much time. Just doing that and ending the ability to carry the ball on a dribble would bring back a lot of balance. You give the big men a chance to use their height to an advantage again. You see who can really handle the ball vs who can't. If not the carry thing...then bring back the hand check. Force players to have to get creative again. The reason Magic, Bird, Jordan, Dr.J, Kareem, Kobe, Iverson, Miller, Garnett, Dirk, Pippen, Olajawon, Clyde, Barkley and so many others were so damn fun to watch play is that they had a ton of creativity and nuances in their game to go with strong fundamentals. Not a lot of guys play like that anymore. So I am happy to see this. As a basketball fan, as a Celtics fan, this could be a huge turning point for the NBA. Yes, the Salary cap will rise, at least a little bit. But it won't go 80 million dollars higher. It might go 15-20. With small increases to bring it up 30-35 million over the next decade, unless theu just get a huge deal from someone. Personally, if I am the NBA, I want to create a bidding war. Get NBC/Peacock and Netflix to combine forces to carry a lot of NBA games between the 3 platforms, and let Disney and TNT try to match it. I doubt CBS gets in on it. They don't want to interfere with their football schedule. Fox is owned by Disney (the entertainment side, not the "news" side). So, if Disney wants to keep the NBA, more games on ABC, some on Fox, some on Hulu and Disney+ would have to take place. TNT would have to find a way to keep their stuff going as well. But if I am the NBA, I want that bidding war. Because in the 80's and 90's when the NBA was at it's height of popularity, felt like it was every bit as important as the NFL and MLB, NBC had it. I am sure with them wanting to get more eyes and subscribers for Peacock, they would want live NBA games on the service. Want that Saturday Double Header again on NBC. Want the playoffs and NBA Finals. ABC and ESPN...would have to make a much better offer to keep the NBA if they knew NBC was trying to get the NBA back.
