Jrue Holiday, who was traded to Portland earlier this week in the Damian Lillard deal, had been linked with a return to Philadelphia as a James Harden replacement.
The Boston Celtics acquired Holiday on Sunday in a blockbuster trade with the Portland Trail Blazers, according to multiple reports. The rebuilding Trail Blazers, who landed Holiday and several other assets from Milwaukee, will receive guard Malcolm Brogdon, center Robert Williams, a 2024 first-round pick , and a 2029 unprotected first-round pick from Boston.
Holiday, 33, is a two-time All-Star and a five-time NBA All-Defensive selection, and will help Boston replace the toughness, playmaking, and defense the team lost earlier this summer when it traded Marcus Smart. Last season, Holiday averaged 19.3 points, 7.4 assists, and 5.1 rebounds for the Bucks on 47.9% shooting, including 38.4% from three-point range. Holiday is entering the final year of his contract, although he has a player option for the 2024-25 season.
