With Damian Lillard returning to the Portland Trail Blazers over the weekend on a three-year deal, he will team up for the first time with guard Jrue Holiday, who was traded from the Boston Celtics to the Trail Blazers earlier this month.
Lillard and Holiday's names have been tied together since the Trail Blazers sent Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks for Holiday in 2023. Holiday was then traded to the Celtics days later. Though this will be Lillard and Holiday's first time on the same team, they previously developed their relationship after that trade because Lillard rented out Holiday's house in Milwaukee during his time with the Bucks.
