Jrue Holiday - Dealt to Portland Holiday was traded from the Celtics to the Trail Blazers on Monday in exchange for Anfernee Simons (forearm) and two second-round draft picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Impact There was expected to be plenty of interest for Holiday over the offseason, and the Celtics evidently felt strong enough about the trade package to pull the trigger on this deal. The UCLA product, known more recently for his defense prowess at this stage in his career, averaged 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals over 62 regular-season games for Boston a season ago and should immediately step in as Portland's starting point guard while also serving as a strong mentor to Scoot Henderson (head) and the rest of the backcourt.
