Jrue Holiday is looking like the steal of the offseason and it's not even close

Acquiring Jrue Holiday for the expiring contract of Anfernee Simons has aged like fine wine for the Portland Trail Blazers. Maybe something grown in Dundee, Oregon. That's wine country, if you didn't know. But how does Holiday's addition stack up with similar offseason additions from other guard-needy teams?

That depends on what criteria you're looking at. If you want a bargain deal, Holiday is not that — he's making $32 million per year, after all. But when you consider what the Blazers gave up to get him, combined with the value he's already brought to the Blazers backcourt, he might stand out among the group of offseason moves.
