Jrue Holiday finds himself in unfamiliar territory after he was traded by the Boston Celtics to the Portland Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been named as a team to monitor in a potential blockbuster deal for Portland Trail Blazers guard Jrue Holiday.

This Lakers trade pitch would bring veteran defensive ace Jrue Holiday on board, pairing him with LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Co.

The Celtics wrapped up Summer League in Las Vegas this past week following the debut of three new rookies on the roster. Boston has started tweaking the roster in the aftermath with the release of JD Davison Thursday, but let’s talk about the roster, potential additions and more in this week’s mailbag.

The biggest moves Boston made featured the Celtics sending out Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. While those deals made plenty of sense for Boston from a financial perspective, one of those deals could have hurt the Celtics’ chances of landing a premier free agent.
