The Boston Celtics just hit a major crossroads. After falling to the New York Knicks in the second round, they face a brutal financial reality. Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury sped up the timeline.

Boston Celtics point guard Jrue Holiday could be a potential trade fit for the Dallas Mavericks this offseason.

Stein also mentions Bulls guard Lonzo Ball and soon-to-be-free agent Chris Paul as possibilities for the Mavericks backcourt. Dallas is extremely shorthanded with guard depth following their trade of Luka Doncic last January and star guard Kyrie Irving also tearing his ACL in March.

Dallas Mavericks player Dante Exum can close his NBA chapter and move to Istanbul to play for Fenerbahçe Beko. On Saturday, "All Things Mavs" reported the news on Exum's future in an X post.

If such a deal were to happen, it would be a bit of a complicated dance given the goals each of the two franchises.

The Dallas Mavericks are searching for a point guard to hold the team steady until Kyrie Irving returns from his ACL injury. Jaden Hardy and Brandon Williams are the only other guards currently under contract, and while Williams had a strong close to the season, they probably don't want him running the show as a starter.

Per Marc Stein, Celtics guard Jrue Holiday is reportedly a trade target for a win-now team in the Dallas Mavericks.

On paper, such a move might make sense for all involved, but it is not clear that the UCLA alum is looking to change teams.
