NBA Offseason

11m ago

Brad Stevens’ wheeling and dealing has begun.

In their first trade of what promises to be an active offseason, the Boston Celtics agreed Monday to send Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons and two second-round picks, league sources confirmed to The Athletic. The deal, which will save Boston about $4.7 million in salary next season, will also clear significant future salary off the Celtics’ books.

Holiday still has three years and $104.4 million left on his contract, including a player option for the 2027-28 season. Simons will be on an expiring contract of $27.7 million next season.
