USA Basketball aggressively pursuing Jrue Holiday for Olympics
USA Basketball is aggressively pursuing Boston Celtics All-Star guard Jrue Holiday to return to Team USA for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, sources told ESPN. Holiday, 33, has yet to decide, but USA officials — with managing director Grant Hill leading the way — are hopeful that Holiday will commit to be one of the 12 members on next year’s Team USA Olympic team, sources told ESPN.

Jrue Holiday is coming in for Jayson Tatum as the first sub. So Celtics are double guard and double big now, which should be interesting. – 6:22 PM

Jrue Holiday is absolutely perfect for the @Celtics… But, damn, losing the Timelord is tough.
“Will giving up Robert Williams come back to bite the Bostonians?”

Good read from @SteveBHoop about the @celtics giving up Rob Williams in the Jrue Holiday deal. No way Portland would do it without RWIII, he was told. But what if a 3rd team had been involved?

Terance Mann is viewed as an attractive piece across the league to multiple teams, per @ShamsCharania.
Mann also recently came up in trade conversations with the Trail Blazers surrounding Jrue Holiday.
The Sixers desire Mann in any realistic James Harden package. pic.twitter.com/vBwYPxFP0z – 7:12 PM

Keith Smith: Also said the Clippers were very close to trading for Jrue Holiday. -via Twitter @KeithSmithNBA / October 8, 2023
USA Basketball officials use the word “beloved,” to describe how strongly they feel about Holiday, whom they considered the second most impactful player after Kevin Durant on the USA’s 2021 gold medal winning team. Team USA struggled defensively in the FIBA world championships this summer in the Philippines and Holiday’s on-ball defense, playmaking and leadership are among the factors that are fueling USA Basketball’s recruitment. -via ESPN / October 8, 2023
The 2024 Olympic team is expected to include such future Hall of Famers as LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Joel Embiid and Jayson Tatum, but some of the All-Stars who publicly volunteered recently that they plan to play for Team USA won’t be extended invitations. There’s no timetable on a Holiday decision, but Hill and coach Steve Kerr have put a premium on the combination of Holiday’s talent and temperament as a necessary component to build a gold medal winning roster, sources said. -via ESPN / October 8, 2023
