Jrue Holiday is going West to the Portland Trail Blazers thanks to a Celtics trade. Let's hand out some grades.

If there’s one play Celtics fans will remember from Jrue Holiday’s two-year tenure in Boston, it’s going to be the steal on Andrew Nembhard in Game 3 of the 2024 East Finals. The Pacers had a chance to snatch the win, but instead, Holiday’s clutch steal helped secure the victory. Then, later, Holiday helped win the 2024 NBA championship.

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.
