After just a few days of playing for a team in the Western Conference, Olympic gold medalist and NBA champion Jrue Holiday is hoping to help the Boston Celtics win another championship.
Holiday officially joined the Celtics on Sunday. Last week, he was traded by Milwaukee to the Trail Blazers in exchange for seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard.
Under the condition of anonymity, a source familiar with the deal told the Associated Press that Boston traded two future first-round picks to Portland in exchange for point guard Malcolm Brogdon and forward Robert Williams.
ESPN was the first to break the news of the trade.
Jrue Holiday was elevated to the starting point guard position following Marcus Smart’s offseason trade to the Grizzlies as part of a three-team deal that brought Kristaps Porzingis to Boston and included the Wizards.
It seems there might be some confusion in the information you provided. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Damian Lillard was still a member of the Portland Trail Blazers, and there were no reported trades involving him.
