Celtics Acquire All-Star Guard from Portland
Celtics Make Blockbuster Move for Jrue Holiday
Deal Includes Malcolm Brogdon and
The Boston Celtics have acquired All-Star guard Jrue Holiday from the Portland Trail Blazers in a trade that also involves Malcolm Brogdon.
The move comes just four days after Holiday was traded to the Blazers as part of the Damian Lillard trade. He is now headed to one of the most storied franchises in NBA history.
In exchange for Holiday, the Blazers will receive Brogdon and a future first-round pick.
Holiday is a four-time All-Star and has been one of the most consistent guards in the NBA over the past decade. He is a skilled scorer, rebounder, and defender.
The Celtics hope that Holiday will be the missing piece they need to contend for a championship. They have been one of the most successful teams in the Eastern Conference in recent years, but they have not been able to get over the hump and win a title.
The addition of Holiday gives the Celtics a dynamic backcourt alongside All-Star Jayson Tatum. They now have one of the most talented rosters in the NBA and are considered to be one of the favorites to win the championship next season.
The trade is a major coup for the Celtics and could be the move that finally puts them over the top.
