US media revealed: Holiday is about to buy out!

The US media broke the news! Holiday wants to buy out, the Rockets' basic salary + starting promise may attract strong aid, and the championship lineup is about to come out

Recently, US media revealed a news that is enough to shock the NBA league: Ju Holiday is about to buy out the contract, and the Houston Rockets are expected to attract the champion defender with the basic salary and starting promise. If this deal is reached, the Rockets' championship lineup will basically take shape and the prospects for winning the championship in the new season will become bright.

Holiday became a little embarrassed after being traded by the Celtics to the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers are in the reconstruction phase, which runs contrary to Holiday's desire to compete for the championship. As a two-time champion, Holiday's career is full of glorious moments. His top performance on the defensive end and stable performance at critical moments have always been the dreams of various championship teams. Last season, even though he was 34 years old, Holiday still maintained a high level on the court. He averaged 30 minutes of playing time and was able to deliver a comprehensive report card of 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Especially on the defensive end, his oppressive defense has caused many opponents a headache. Such strength and experience are extremely valuable assets for any team that is determined to win the championship.

Now, Holiday submits a buyout application to the Trail Blazers, and he is eager to continue chasing the championship later in his career. The Rockets have undoubtedly become one of his favorite next homes. The Rockets have shown strong ambitions and determination in lineup construction this season. They first got Kevin Durant through a big deal, giving the team an instantly a super scorer of historic level. Subsequently, he signed powerful players such as Finney Smith and Capela in the free market one after another. In addition, the team's potential new stars Jabbarri Smith, Shin Kyung, Amen Thompson and others have greatly improved the depth and strength of the lineup.

According to US media, the Rockets plan to provide Holiday with a basic salary contract and promise to give him a starting position. For Holiday, this is undoubtedly an attractive solution. On the one hand, the basic salary contract can allow him to make certain financial sacrifices and join a team with the ability to compete for the championship; on the other hand, the starting commitment can ensure that he has enough playing time on the court and continues to play his value in the game. From the Rockets' perspective, Holiday's joining will perfectly fill the vacancy on the team's back line. He partnered with Van Vreet in the backcourt, attacking and defending, and able to form an excellent complementarity. On the offensive end, Holiday's excellent organizational ability can better connect the team's offense and create more scoring opportunities for teammates such as Durant and Shin Kyung; on the defensive end, his top defensive ability can improve the defensive intensity of the entire team and make it more difficult for opponents to attack from the outside.

Once Holiday successfully joins, the Rockets' starting lineup will become extremely luxurious: Van Vreet, Holiday, Durant, Jabary Smith Jr. and Shin Kyung. This lineup is top in terms of offensive firepower and defensive strength. On the bench, there are also a number of powerful players such as Finney Smith, Tari Ethan, Capela, and Whitmore, who can provide the team with stable output and defensive support at any time. Such lineup depth and strength have greatly increased the Rockets' odds for winning the championship in the new season, becoming a strong contender for the championship.

Of course, there are still some uncertainties in this transaction at present. First of all, it still needs further observation whether Holiday’s buyout negotiations with the Trail Blazers can go smoothly. Whether the Trail Blazers are willing to let the strong defender go with a lower buyout amount is the key to whether this deal can be achieved. Secondly, the Rockets are not without their opponents in the process of competing with Holiday. Some other championship teams may also express a strong interest in Holiday, which requires the Rockets to show enough sincerity and attractiveness to finally sign this strong aid.

However, judging from the current situation, it is still quite possible for the Rockets to sign Holiday. Whether it is the team's championship goal or Holiday's personal wishes, the deal looks very consistent. Fans are also full of expectations for this potential deal. They are eager to see Holiday put on the Rockets' jersey and launch a strong impact on the championship with Durant and other teammates. In this offseason full of variables, let us look forward to the final result of this big deal and witness the perfect formation of the Rockets' championship lineup.
