Trail Blazers trade Jrue Holiday to the Celtics

For the second time in a week, National Basketball Association guard Jrue Holiday of Chatsworth, California, was traded. On Wednesday, he was part of the blockbuster deal involving Damian Lillard, that saw him move from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Portland Trail Blazers. Then on Sunday, Holiday was traded from the Trail Blazers to the Boston Celtics for guard Malcolm Brogdon of Atlanta, Georgia, center Robert Williams of Shreveport, Louisiana, and first round picks in 2024 and 2029 according to Jasmyn Wimbish of CBS Sports.

Holiday was an All-Star for the second time in his career in 2022-23.

On March 29, 2023, Holiday made Bucks franchise history by becoming the oldest player to score 50 points in a game. He accomplished the feat at 32 years and 290 days old in a 149-136 Milwaukee win over Indiana.

In Holiday’s career, he has played for Philadelphia (2009 to 2013), New Orleans (2013 to 2020), and Milwaukee (2020 to 2023). With the 76ers in 2012-13, Holiday was a NBA All-Star, as he averaged 17.7 points per game and eight assists per game. In 2021, he won the NBA Finals with the Bucks.

Brogdon is joining his fourth NBA team. He has previously played for the Bucks (2016 to 2019), the Indiana Pacers (2019 to 2022), and one season for the Celtics (2022 to 2023). While with the Bucks, Brogdon was the NBA Rookie of the Year (2016 to 2017), where he averaged 10.2 points per game. Then in 2018 to 2019, Brogdon led the NBA with a .928 free throw percentage.
