Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday was taking a nap when his agent called.

On Sep. 27, the Portland Trail Blazers traded All-Star guard Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks as part of a three-way deal that sent Holiday, Deandre Ayton and Toumani Camara to Portland, along with a handful of draft rights. This came after Lillard requested a trade from the Blazers in July.

Four days later, Portland traded Holiday to the Celtics in exchange for Robert Williams III, Malcolm Brogdon and two first-round picks -- one via the Golden State Warriors -- according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
