Ironically, Holiday was briefly a Trail Blazer after his part in their deal with Milwaukee for Damian Lillard in 2023 before the Celtics acquired him less than a week later. Boston was lifting another trophy within the year, in no small part due to Holiday’s stout defense and unselfish team play.

The Boston Celtics have reportedly traded Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trailblazers. According to ESPN, the Celtics will get Anfernee Simons and two second-round draft picks.

A person with knowledge of the details says Boston is trading Holiday to Portland, a year after helping the Celtics win the NBA championship.
