Report – NBC Sports Boston

The NBA offseason is already in full swing.

Only one day after the end of the NBA finals, the Boston Celtics exchanged Jrue Holiday at the Portland Trail Blazer for Anfernee Simons and two choices of the second round, reported Shams Charania of Espn on Monday evening.

Boston remains engaged in commercial interviews for several key actors in his list, added Charania.

Holiday contributed key to Boston’s 2024 NBA title, playing defense blocking and being a game hub in attack. The 35 -year -old accepted a four -year extension and $ 135 million in April 2024.

Simons, 26, has a contract expiring for a value north of $ 27 million. The overall choice of 2018 n. 24 developed in a solid multilivelo marker, but Portland fought to build a playoff team in the post-damian Lillard era.

Portland initially received the holidays in his 2023 trade who sent Lillard to Milwaukee before redirecting him to Boston.

Last season, the holidays scored on average 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists on a 44/35/91 shooting division. Simons with Portland scored on average 19.3 points, 4.8 assists and 2.7 rebounds on a 43/36/90 shooting division.

Shaedon Sharpe, Jerami Grant, Deandre Ayton, Scoot Henderson and Deni Avdija were the other key markers for Portland last season, although the team has not yet had a clear direction in terms of contender compared to the building.

Boston seems to reorganize himself, letting go of a piece of the championship caliber for a potential score like Jayson Tatum Rehabs by a torn Achille. With Boston that apparently observes more moves, as Simons adapts to the wider scheme will be clearer.
