And for the first time since the trade, Holiday acknowledged it with an Instagram story. “Thank you Boston” the story said, which included a picture of Holiday wearing the Celtics championship hat after they defeated the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals.

On Monday, it was announced that the Boston Celtics are trading Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Anfernee Simons and two second-round picks. Prior to the trade, Holiday spent two seasons in Boston and played a big role in their championship victory in 2024.

The Boston Celtics acquired Anfernee Simons as part of the Jrue Holiday trade, but the veteran guard may be on the move yet again.
