The Portland Trail Blazers swapped Anfernee Simons for Jrue Holiday with the Boston Celtics this offseason. Early returns suggest that the surprising decision is a significant win for Portland, given how the two guards have played for their respective teams this season.
Holiday has been sidelined with a right calf strain as of late, but has been incredibly impactful for the Blazers when healthy, and appears to be in the midst of a resurgent season in Portland after a relative down year in Boston.
Simons, meanwhile, is trending in the complete opposite direction with his new team.
