More NBA Trade Action: Jrue Holiday Flipped To Celtics For Package Featuring Robert Williams

The Jrue Holiday era in Portland is officially over, and it lasted an entirety of four days.

On Sunday afternoon, the Trail Blazers shipped the two-time All Star to the Boston Celtics for center Robert Williams, guard Malcolm Brogdon, a 2024 first-round pick that originally belonged to the Golden State Warriors, and Boston’s unprotected first-round pick in 2029.

The Blazers originally acquired Holiday as a central part of the Damian Lillard trade to Milwaukee earlier in the week.

With the two moves, the Blazers have now acquired three first-round picks and two more pick swaps with Milwuakee in 2028 and 2030.

They have also added former first-overall pick DeAndre Ayton to their core, alongside the aforementioned Williams and Brogdon.

As for the Celtics, this move feels like a response to the Bucks trade. Holiday now gives them a deadly trio with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, plus Kristaps Porzingis in a supporting role.

Boston is now tied with Milwuakee for the best title odds.

Matchups between those two Eastern Conference powerhouses will be must-watch this season.
