The Trail Blazers are pulling the two 2nd-rounders from the Jrue Holiday trade with Boston, per @AaronJFentress.
Portland reportedly found something in Holiday’s medicals that led to a change in terms.
It’s now a straight swap: Holiday for Anfernee Simons.

It’s just a couple of second-rounders, but this hurts a little.
The long-term return from the Jrue and Porzingis trades is looking minimal. Especially if the Celtics flip Simons and Niang again.

Max Shulga was essentially a glue guy for the Summer League Celtics—his numbers weren't flashy, but he flashed the qualities you'd like to see out of a PG trying to fit into Joe Mazzulla's system.
His instincts on defense, especially on-ball, jumped out as he averaged 1.8 SPG.
The Celtics have signed 57th overall pick Max Shulga to a two-way contract, per @NoaDalzell.
The A-10 Player of the Year will be someone to keep an eye on for the C's this season.
He's an experienced ball-handler, a good shooter, and displayed strong defense in Summer League.
ESPN just dropped its post-free agency NBA power rankings, and the Celtics land at 17th overall (7th in the East).
How do you feel about this placement?
Which Celtics from the last decade do you think will have their jersey hanging in the rafters when it’s all said and done? 🏀🍀
Joe Mazzulla is in the building for Patriots training camp ☘️🏈
Which teams would Payton Pritchard start for next season?
Factoring in injuries (Haliburton & Kyrie in particular)
How'd I do?👇
If Porzingis thought he was heading to the Spurs, that had to come from somewhere.
Sounds like Brad Stevens explored a deal with San Antonio before pivoting to the Hawks.
Probably would’ve been a salary dump — but the Spurs do have some young assets that could’ve been nice. 🤷♂️
Payton Pritchard's efficiency in 2025 cannot go unnoticed.
He scored 128.8 points per 100 shot attempts—best among all NBA point guards.
His 63.3% true shooting ranked 2nd among PGs, trailing only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Big things ahead for PP with a larger role.👀
