With the excitement of ongoing NFL and MLB games, we haven't discussed the Jrue Holiday trade in the NBA. It happened right after we submitted our preseason power rankings.
I'm curious if people think it's as big of a deal as I do. To me, the Celtics are now right behind Denver and slightly ahead of the Bucks. The irony though, is that they might be even more vulnerable to Miami's bullying, after what Jimmy Butler did to Holiday in the playoffs last year.

Interesting. Definitely an impact player. Celtics and Bucks are a coin flip to me but I do think Celtics matchup well with Bucks in a 7 game series.

Historically, no one guards Giannis better than Horford and no one guards Dame better than Jrue.
Playoff matchups might be super important between the Celtics/Bucks/Heat: Heat > Celtics (psychological domination), Celtics > Bucks (defensive matchups), Bucks > Heat (no answer for Dame).
