This latest trade proposal sees Boston shake things up and ship out their veteran guard and champion, Jrue Holiday, for two players they could use to help them depth-wise. This trade idea, proposed by Matt Levine of Celtics on SI, is a three-team deal between the Celtics, Toronto Raptors, and Memphis Grizzlies.
Pritchard registered 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 125-85 victory over the Warriors.
Playing their fifth game in seven nights, the Celtics were run off the Crypto.com Arena court by LeBron James and Co., losing 117-96.
