Jrue Holiday is now in his second stint with the Portland Trail Blazers after the Boston Celtics traded him to Portland before the NBA Draft. Of course, Holiday never played for the Blazers in his first stint.

Jrue Holiday Gives 3-Word Statement to Celtics Fans After Getting Traded to the Portland Trail Blazers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been an interesting past week for the Boston Celtics as they deal with conflict in their salary cap situation heading into the NBA offseason.

The Blazers agreed to deal 26-year-old guard Anfernee Simons to the Celtics earlier this week, and the reasoning for the deal on Boston's side of the trade was about as clear as it gets. The Celtics were looking at one of the largest repeater tax bills in NBA history if they did not reduce salary on their 2024 title core.
