Jrue Holiday’s time with the Boston Celtics came to an end back in June. Boston’s goals of financial flexibility got in the way of any sort of long-term relationship between the two sides. After just two seasons with the franchise, Holiday was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers in a cost-cutting move.

Though it was short-lived, Holiday appreciated his time with the Celtics and what he and his teammates were able to accomplish in winning the 2024 NBA Championship.
