he's the same age as Lillard
Can the spurs acquire him? Or he’s old for the spurs timeline?

Blazers will want a heap for him after today.
Thirty-three years old. Cost good assets to acquire. Not on the timeline.
The Spurs have settled on another tank, he's not on the "timeline".
Not only would he be pissed if we acquire him but we’d be stupid to give up assets. You move assets for vets once you’ve put yourself into playoff position.
Holiday - Osman, Birch, Bullock, Graham + 2picks
ah yes. the old "we can receive a good player for Bonner, Blair, Neal" trade theories
He's not good offensively, great defensively. Old.
Not happening
Watch him in the playoffs. Against playoff level defense he just doesn't have it
Not interested in giving up Neal tbh. De Culo or James Anderson can be the sweetener in the deal.
Philly just makes too much sense. Something like:
PHI: Holiday & Covington
LAC: Harden & Tucker
POR: Powell, Morris, & draft compensation
Sixers fans still love Holiday and Covington. Harden gets to pretend to try to win a championship with his other pretender friend. Powell heads back to Portland and the Clippers get to move on from Morris which is what they tried to do with the Brogdon trade.
Rumor has it that Portland will be shopping him for two firsts, and even with the Spurs drove of picks he ain't worth it. Rather see what all of our young guards can do instead of creating a logjam there
I'd be down for Holiday. The team needs a vet leader to keep the non-Wemby core from tipping. Getting an unselfish, defense-first guy at a position of need who has experience playing with both a young superstar big and a freak forward feels like a slam dunk. Yes, the price tag matters. Jrue supposedly wants to retire when his contract is up, and it's extremely unlikely the Spurs will be in a position to win anything by time that happens. So this is specifically not a "win-now" move. But if we're talking about like the Charlotte pick and the worst 2025 pick, I would be quite interested, much more so than in someone like Herro.
Agree with this. I think Spurs actually try and make a play for Holiday and would depend on price. Historically, the organization has valued a winning culture over maximizing asset collection. Jrue represents the perfect archetype of point guard for this team - veteran, defense first, shoots the 3, championship experience, true point guard and excellent distributor. The organization may feel that bringing Wemby into a winning culture is more important than the cost of multiple draft picks and the opportunity cost of getting a better draft pick down the line. He will be way too old by the time Wemby is ready to compete, but the team may feel that he brings intangible value in terms of maximizing Wemby's development in his early years.
Not motivated.
After he got his Chip and then the World Commercialism Games Gold seems like he's just cashed a check with Milwaukee.
Pass.
I’ve heard that he came back on the idea he would retire at the end of this contract. Next feb he could sign one more maybe four year contract if the spurs org and team philosophy inspire him and he’ll give five great years helping Wemby get off to the right start to his career. The right vet point guard can really make a difference.. if the price is right, I say do it!!
i'll take him
trust wright to hammer out a good deal
Portland ain't gonna get two FRPs for Jrue. I just don't see it. There's an extremely small number of teams that could use him, have a FRP to spare (much less two), and can make up $35 million in contracts to get him. Boston can't, for example.
James Anderson is untouchable
As much as i love Holiday as a player and see the easy need/fit, dumping even bad firsts for a player we can basically guarantee will never win with us seems like bad practice
I’d rather toss a couple of SRPs for Lowry than FRPs for Holiday
First you need to get to the playoffs
