The Portland Trail Blazers appeared to still be open for business days after the team dealt Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks in a three-team trade including the Phoenix Suns.
The Trail Blazers reportedly agreed to trade Jrue Holiday, who they acquired from the Bucks in the Lillard trade, to the Boston Celtics in a whopping deal. Boston will give up Malcolm Brogdon, Robert Williams and two future first-round picks.

ESPN first reported the deal.
The Celtics receive a major boost in perimeter defense in Holiday. The team dealt another top defensive player in Marcus Smart earlier in the year in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies. Holiday will likely be seen as one of the stars alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

Holiday is a five-time All-Defensive Team player. He also averaged 19.3 points and 5.3 rebounds last season in Milwaukee. He earned an All-Star nod for only the second time in his career.
In all, Portland has turned Lillard Brogdon, Williams, Deandre Ayton and Toumani Camara. Portland also enters the season with high expectations for No. 2 overall pick Scoot Henderson.
