Facing what is expected to be an offseason of significant change, the Boston Celtics took the first step in reshaping their championship roster with a reported trade that will send veteran point guard Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for young scoring guard Anfernee Simons and a pair of second-round picks.

The Portland Trail Blazers have ended Anfernee Simons ’ seven-year run with the franchise by trading him to the Boston Celtics for Jrue Holiday. ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported the news. Simons, 26, averaged 19.3 points and 4.8 assists last season while struggling to adapt to being the starting point guard.

This NBA offseason isn't waiting around for the draft to get rolling. Heck, the Kevin Durant trade went down before the Finals even ended. And one day after Game 7, ESPN's Shams Charania broke the news that the Boston Celtics were dealing Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons and two second-round picks.
