Boston Celtics point guard Jrue Holiday is set to decline his option for the 2024-2025 season to sign a new four-year, $135 million extension deal with the team, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Holiday, who arrived with the Celtics after a blockbuster offseason trade, will now be locked with a solid Boston Celtics core with championship aspirations for years to come.

The 6-foot-4 guard will do exactly what he did three years ago in Milwaukee – landing there in the offseason, spending a few months, getting familiar and used to a new place, and getting comfortable. He signed a then four-year $135 million deal with the Bucks, resulting in an NBA title and an Olympic gold medal. Holiday is hoping he could repeat the same process this year with Boston and with Team USA in the summer. 

According to Wojnarowski, Holiday will become the fourth player to sign a fully guaranteed deal worth more than $100 million at 33 or older, including LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Al Horford with this new deal. He will now make $30.1 million annually starting next season, which will make him the third-highest-paid Celtic behind Jaylen Brown ($49.3 million) and Jayson Tatum ($34.8 million).

Furthermore, this extension will keep Holiday with the Celtics through the 2027-2028 season and will save around $30 million in cap space for Boston to help them keep together their talented and expensive core.
