Boston Celtics Acquire Jrue Holiday in Trade with Portland Trailblazers: Report

The Portland Trail Blazers are trading guard Jrue Holiday to the Boston Celtics for Robert Williams, Malcolm Brogdon and draft assets, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The assets specifically include the Warriors' 2024 first-round pick and Boston's 2029 unprotected first rounder.

Last week, Holiday was traded to Portland in a three-team deal that sent Damian Lillard to the Bucks. But Holiday's time with Portland was short-lived — five days to be exact..

Wojnarowski reported Sunday that "the Celtics were among the teams at very top of Holiday's wish list in recent days and expectation is Celtics are eager to retain him long-term."

Holiday, 33, is a two-time All-Star, most recently with the Milwaukee Bucks, where he won an NBA title in 2021. The 6-foot-5 guard was the 17th pick in the 2009 draft out of UCLA.

He averaged 19.3 points and 7.4 assists per game in the 2022-23 season, shooting 38.4% from long range. He has one year left on his current contract.

Boston's starting five projects to feature Holiday, along with guards Derrick White and Jaylen Brown, center Kristaps Porziņģis, and star Jayson Tatum.

Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, Al Horford and Oshae Brissett are expected to come off the bench.
