Celtics’ Brad Stevens Responds to Result of Jrue Holiday Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Celtics made several moves this offseason, and as they prepare for the 2025-26 campaign, the roster will look noticeably different with new faces and fresh expectations.

The Celtics agreed to move forward with the deal without the 2030 and 2031 second-round picks that Portland originally agreed to include.

Jrue Holiday is a really good NBA player. He’s a two-time NBA All-Star. He’s a two-time World Champion. In a 16-year career he’s made six All-NBA Defensive Teams and received votes for Defensive Player of the Year five times.
