"Holiday is expected to be pursued by several teams on the trade market, and a league source tells MassLive that the Los Angeles Clippers are one team expected to show interest in the 34-year-old guard this offseason," Robb reported.
The Celtics are expected to make major roster changes this offseason following Jayson Tatum's Achilles tear and an approaching second-apron financial crunch.
They will most likely make trades to stay competitive under tighter spending limits.
Boston acquired Holiday in 2023, outbidding several teams—including the Clippers—after the Portland Trail Blazers made the two-time All-Star available in the wake of the Damian Lillard trade to Milwaukee.

Holiday, a Los Angeles native and UCLA alum, still has three years and $104 million remaining on his contract.
A two-time NBA champion (2021 and 2024), he averaged 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.9 assists across 62 starts for Boston during the regular season.
