Some of the teams that are expected to be very active in the offseason are last year's champions, the Celtics, and potentially the Kings are they look to rebuild their roster from a frustrating finish this year that saw them move on from star De'Aaron Fox.

Brooklyn is the only team that could absorb Holiday’s deal outright into their cap space. Otherwise, the other team involved in acquiring Holiday would need to send out at least $25.9 million in salary for the trade to work under CBA rules if it goes through after July 1st.

As the NBA offseason draws closer, rumors surrounding the Boston Celtics are starting to heat up. Brad Stevens is expected to make changes to the current roster, primarily due to the approximately $500 million payroll the team is facing for next season once luxury taxes are factored into the equation.

According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Kings are interested in kicking the tires on a Holiday trade. The Kings traded De'Aaron Fox last season. With the Kings in the market for a new starting point guard, Holiday could be the answer to their issues. They are a team that is caught in the middle, but they are still trying to win.

Pritchard also hasn’t been in many trade rumors over the past few weeks, and for good reason. He’s coming off a breakout season where he was named the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year. Pritchard averaged career-highs with 14.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. He also shot 40.7% on 7.8 3-pointers per game.
