Jrue Holiday Traded To The Celtics

The Portland Trail Blazers have traded Jrue Holiday to the Boston Celtics for a solid package in return. This was expected when considering who Holiday is and what he offers a team as an experienced guard.

Per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Portland is expected to be keeping Robert Williams – most likely pairing him with Deandre Ayton (Damian Lillard trade) – but trading away Malcolm Brogdon.

The main reason behind that decision is due to their commitment to their younger, already existing core of guards.

For those that don’t know, the full trade details are this:

Blazers: Robert Williams, Malcolm Brogdon, 2024 first-rounder, 2029 first-rounder
Celtics: Jrue Holiday

Boston’s potentially new starting lineup will be Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Kristaps Porzingis.

THE BLAZERS DESERVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE 👏

Lonnie Walker Signs With The Boston Celtics

According to multiple reports, led by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Boston Celtics are adding Lonnie Walker IV to their team.

The 25-year-old is signing a one-year deal as a prove-it deal to the league that he can ball and be a useful piece to a championship/playoff contending team.

In 58 games for the Brooklyn Nets, Walker averaged 9.7 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. His shooting splits were 42.3% from the field and 38.4% from behind the arc.

Jeff Bezos Has Zero Interesting In Purchasing The Boston Celtics

According to Nick Wingfield of The Information, the rumors Bill Simmons tried to spread on The Ringer in a recent podcast episode are absolutely untrue.

Many rumors and reports have emerged since the Grousbeck family publicly put the Boston Celtics up for sale. The biggest one was Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, wanting to purchase Boston’s franchise.

This rumor wasn’t totally out of the norm because Bezos was interested in the NFL’s Washington Commanders.

Jaylen Brown Done Celebrating: 'It's Back To Work'

After months of recharging the batteries and celebrating winning the 2024 NBA Championship, Jaylen Brown is ready to get back to work.

While some would want to savor the moment until forced to defend it, Brown wholeheartedly embraces it.

“Last year is over, to be honest. We celebrated, we had a good time. It’s been an awesome summer. I’ve been having a great summer, by the way. But it’s over with it,” Brown said. “Now we got the target on our back. Everybody’s trying to come after us and I’m like, ‘Come on.’ It’s back to work. And I’m looking forward to next season.”

The Finals MVP is ready to defend the championship, with the Boston Celtics being a heavy favorite to go back-to-back.
