Jrue Holiday is off to the Portland Trail Blazers after the blockbuster trade which returned Anfernee Simons and two second-round picks to the Boston Celtics, as first reported by ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania.
The immediate reaction brought some uncertainty about whether the Blazers planned to keep Holiday, 35, who has three years left on the four-year, $134 million contract extension he signed with the Celtics last year. He has a $37.2 million player option ahead of the 2027 season—his age 37 season—for which Portland is now on the hook.
