The Boston Celtics have reportedly traded Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trailblazers, according to ESPN. In return, the Celtics are receiving Anfernee Simons and two second-round draft picks.

Facing what is expected to be an offseason of significant change, the Boston Celtics took the first step in reshaping their championship roster with a reported trade that will send veteran point guard Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for young scoring guard Anfernee Simons and a pair of second-round picks.

The idea of the Celtics trading Holiday picked up steam after they were eliminated by the New York Knicks in the second round. Jay King of The Athletic reported after that series that "several contending teams" were interested in the UCLA product should Boston decide to shop him.
