The Boston Celtics have agreed to swap Celtics guard Jrue Holiday for the Portland Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons and two second-round picks, ESPN insider Shams Charania reported Monday night, in what is just the latest big-time move of the NBA offseason.
That the Celtics would need to offload some financial responsibility has been a big talking point since their elimination in the second round of playoffs, so it makes sense to see some action happening there. The Blazers, meanwhile, will re-acquire Holiday, whom they traded away to Boston after initially receiving him as part of the Damian Lillard trade in 2023.
