On Monday, the Blazers announced the completion of their trade with the Celtics involving Jrue Holiday.
The deal, which was reported on June 23, reportedly involved the Celtics sending Holiday to Portland in exchange for Anfernee Simons and a pair of second-round picks.
According to Portland’s announcement, the picks will not be involved in the deal. It’s a straight-up swap, Holiday for Simons, according to the release.
The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach reported that “new findings” during a review of Holiday’s medical examinations prompted the Blazers to alter the deal.
