Blazers, C's trade altered to Holiday, Simons swap
Briefly

The Portland Trail Blazers' acquisition of guard Jrue Holiday was confirmed as a player-for-player swap for Anfernee Simons without the previously mentioned second-round picks. A review of Holiday's medical history affirmed his health status, clearing the path for his participation in the September training camp. The trade comes as the Celtics reduce player expenses, shedding large contracts, including that of Holiday. Despite a previous deal involving Damian Lillard, Holiday's tenure in Portland was short-lived, never appearing in a game for the team while showcasing commendable performance during his season with the Celtics.
The Portland Trail Blazers have officially acquired two-time All-Star guard Jrue Holiday, transitioning from initial terms reported on June 23 to a straight player-for-player swap with the Boston Celtics.
Jrue Holiday, who missed 20 games last season due to injuries, is now considered healthy and will be available for the Trail Blazers' training camp in September.
