Star guard traded to Boston in exchange for Damian Lillard
Holiday expected to make his debut for the Celtics
WEB All-Star guard Jrue Holiday is headed to Boston in a trade with Portland, the team announced Sunday. The Celtics are sending Damian Lillard to the Trail Blazers in return for Holiday.
Holiday is a four-time All-Star and has averaged 19.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game this season. He is a key piece for the Celtics, who are looking to make a deep playoff run this year.
Lillard is a five-time All-Star and has averaged 29.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game this season. He is a key piece for the Trail Blazers, who are looking to make a playoff appearance this year.
The trade is a major shakeup for both teams. The Celtics are getting a proven All-Star in Holiday, while the Trail Blazers are getting a young star in Lillard. It will be interesting to see how both teams perform in the second half of the season.
