Trail Blazers send Jrue Holiday to Celtics in aftermath of Lillard trade

• 33-year-old will bring defensive skills to Boston
• Celtics send players and draft picks to Portland

Jrue Holiday was out of the Eastern Conference for just a few days, and now it's the Boston Celtics who will hope that the Olympic gold medalist and NBA champion can help deliver them another title banner.

The Celtics finalized a deal with Portland on Sunday to land Holiday, who was sent to the Trail Blazers last week by Milwaukee in the trade that sent seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard to the Bucks.
