Blazers already won the Jrue Holiday trade — and it's not even close

It's already become apparent that Jrue Holiday is the perfect fit for this up-and-coming Portland Trail Blazers roster. The 35-year-old veteran is proving he still has plenty left in the tank, making Portland's surprising decision to acquire him from the Boston Celtics in exchange for Anfernee Simons a clear win for the franchise.

Holiday is known for his elite perimeter defense, but has been making his two-way impact felt for a Blazers team that was in dire need of a floor general, especially following the hamstring tear suffered by Scoot Henderson. He's coming off consecutive 20-plus scoring outings against both Los Angeles teams in back-to-back nights.
