Jrue Holiday ‘pissed’ to land with Trail Blazers after Celtics divorce
NY Post
Jrue Holiday apparently hopes for another quick stay in Portland.
The ex-Celtic is “pissed” he’s with the Trail Blazers after Boston moved him in a cost-cutting maneuver, longtime Celtics reporter Steve Bulpett wrote Tuesday for Heavy.com.
Holiday previously spent four days as a Trail Blazer after being traded by the Bucks and then acquired by the Celtics in 2023.
“Now, if he winds up staying there, I’m sure he’ll be the professional he’s always been and make a positive contribution,” a source told Bulpett. “But he’s not happy with this deal. I’ll be surprised if Portland doesn’t move him on if they can, because right now, he does not want to go there.
“I’m sure if he has to go to Portland, he’ll end up going and it’ll be OK, but right now they want to be somewhere else. But with that contract, it’s not going to be that easy.”
Holiday, 35, played a pivotal role in the Celtics winning the 2024 championship, but Boston is retooling after being a second apron luxury tax team, and also facing the realistic possibility that star Jayson Tatum will miss the entire season after tearing his Achilles in the second-round playoff series loss to the Knicks.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
