Veteran guard Jrue Holiday was reportedly "pissed" that he was traded by the Boston Celtics to the Portland Trail Blazers as part of the team's cost-cutting efforts, longtime Celtics reporter Steve Bulpett wrote via Heavy.

On Monday night, they dealt Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers in return for Anfernee Simons and a pair of second-round draft picks. Sources told MassLive that the picks include a 2030 selection from the Knicks and a 2031 pick from the Blazers.

The Celtics traded a first round pick, big man Robert Williams III, and former Sixth Man of the Year Malcolm Brogdon to Portland for Holiday, with the Celtics having done well in these deals to manage their needs at each juncture without an outlay of considerable draft assets to get each of these trades across the finish line.
