After arriving in a blockbuster offseason trade, Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday has agreed on a four-year, $135 million contract extension, his agent, Jason Glushon of Glushon Sports Management, told ESPN on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Holiday is declining his $37.3 million player option for 2024-25 to sign a long-term deal that\u2019ll take him through the 2027-28 season, Glushon said.<\/p>\n

Holiday\u2019s extension saves the Celtics several million dollars on the cap next year and aids in keeping together a talented and expensive core of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick White and Holiday that has led the franchise to the NBA\u2019s best record this season.<\/p>\n

With Holiday\u2019s extension, the Celtics are destined to operate as a second apron team in 2024-25, restricting their free agency and trade options for exceeding the highest payroll threshold.<\/p>\n

Holiday will become the fourth player to sign a guaranteed deal worth more than $100 million at 33 or older \u2014 a list that also includes LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Al Horford.<\/p>\n

Holiday\u2019s scoring average understandably dropped upon joining the Celtics\u2019 starry lineup, but he\u2019s shooting a career-best 43% on 3-pointers \u2014 including 62% on corner 3s, which would be the best over a season for any NBA player with 50-plus attempts in the past 25 years.<\/p>\n
