Holiday had different options and even revealed to wanted to play in LA for the purple and gold, now that he has been presented as a new Celtic, the Lakers' historic rival, Jrue has said he grew up being a Purple and gold fan alongside his family.

"Growing up in LA as a Laker fan, I know a lot of my family's probably hurt," said Jrue Holiday. The Celtics also have Jayson Tatum, their biggest star, a Lakers and Kobe fanatic.

 

Not every player is the right fit for Los Angeles Lakers
