NBA Rumors: Jrue Holiday could be one of the most likely departures from Boston Celtics. The Massachusetts team is trying to stay below the NBA luxury tax threshold this offseason.

Holiday has three years remaining on his contract for an approximate total of 104 million dollars, and Boston needs to reduce at least 20 million in salaries to avoid exceeding that limit.

The 35-year-old point guard is mentioned alongside Kristaps Porzingis and Sam Hauser as possible pieces that could be traded this summer. In this context, teams that could fit into such an operation have been mentioned. In the latest episode of The Off C’season, ESPN's NBA Front Office Insider and former Brooklyn Nets general manager Bobby Marks analyzed the possibilities of Holiday's trade.

During the conversation, NBC Sports Boston journalist Chris Forsberg mentioned Los Angeles Clippers and the Dallas Mavericks as potential destinations and asked Marks if Boston would need to include a draft pick to facilitate the player's departure.

"I don't think a pick (is necessary). Both teams you mentioned, Chris, are intriguing to me: Dallas and the Clippers," Marks responded. "They are intriguing because they have two players with player options: Kyrie Irving (Mavericks) and James Harden with the Clippers. What happens with those two players will play a significant role in determining the flexibility that both the Clippers and Dallas will have."
