Jrue Holiday is officially a member of the Portland Trail Blazers, but, in the press release, the Blazers announced a trade that looks different than the one that was reported two weeks ago. Anfernee Simons is still going to the Boston Celtics in a guard-for-guard swap,

The Portland Trail Blazers revealed some complications that took place in the Jrue Holiday trade that took place in recent weeks.

With the 2025-26 NBA season now open for business, the bevy of trades and signings that had been agreed upon over the last several weeks are becoming "officially official"—and with that comes some changes and details that need to be fleshed out.

The Celtics agreed to move forward with the deal without the 2030 and 2031 second-round picks that Portland originally agreed to include.

Jrue Holiday is a really good NBA player. He’s a two-time NBA All-Star. He’s a two-time World Champion. In a 16-year career he’s made six All-NBA Defensive Teams and received votes for Defensive Player of the Year five times.

Jrue Holiday's trade from the Boston Celtics to the Portland Trail Blazers is official, but there's a catch to the previously reported on swap.

Jrue Holiday failed physicals when going to the Portland Trail Blazers, which worsen the return for the Boston Celtics.

The Boston Celtics are changing things up again. Just days after trading Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers, the team is trying to move Anfernee Simons, who returned in the deal. They are reportedly shopping at Simons as part of a broader effort to cut costs.

The Miami Heat have already made a move to acquire Norman Powell, but could bolster their perimeter defense by targeting defensive ace Jrue Holiday.
