Jrue Holiday Moved To Portland In Massive Swap
2 months agoMilwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday is headed to the Portland Trail Blazers as part of the deal that sees the Bucks land superstar Damian Lillard. Portland also secured Deandre Ayton from the Phoenix Suns in the trade, but Holiday's stay in Rip City could be short-lived. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Blazers are contacting contenders in talks to ship him elsewhere, so it's plausible Holiday may not even suit up for them if another deal is struck before the season starts. Holiday's arrival would otherwise hurt the appeal of rising star Anfernee Simons and first-round rookie Scoot Henderson in the Blazers backcourt. It's hard to gauge an impact on Holiday's fantasy value until he is fully settled in, but the rock-solid veteran remains worthy of a fourth-round pick if he sticks with his new squad, anyway.
