After the Bucks traded Jrue Holiday for Damian Lillard, the Celtics acquired him. Embiid wonders if Milwaukee gave Boston the championship by trading him last offseason after he was so important this season.

Draymond Green commented on this post. In his podcast, the Golden State Warriors forward said the Bucks moving Holiday aided the Celtics long-term.

"Yes to Joel's question," Green said. "I just think even in that trade like, you got to find or do all you can to like keep Jrue."

This season, Holiday's two-way ability has helped Boston dominate the competition despite his lack of All-Star numbers. He covers gaps with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown on the opposite end and was awarded All-Defense.
