The NBA offseason got even juicier on Monday night when the Boston Celtics agreed to deal guard Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Anfernee Simons and two second-round picks, per ESPN insider Shams Charania.
That the Celtics would be making some roster moves in the coming months was expected considering the tight spot they were in salary-wise, though the NBA community still seemed somewhat shocked, if nevertheless approving, of the deal, which will save Boston $40 million in luxury tax payments next year, per ESPN's Bobby Marks.
