Ironically, Holiday was briefly a Trail Blazer after his part in their deal with Milwaukee for Damian Lillard in 2023 before the Celtics acquired him less than a week later. Boston was lifting another trophy within the year, in no small part due to Holiday’s stout defense and unselfish team play.

The Celtics received guard Anfernee Simons in the Holiday trade and forward Georges Niang in the Porzingis deal, plus a total of three second-round draft picks.
