The 35-year-old Jrue Holiday was traded from the Boston Celtics to the Portland Trail Blazers last month, and Jrue Holiday hopes to take a new step in his career with the Portland Trail Blazers.

In the 2024/25 NBA regular season, Jrue Holiday played 62 games for the Boston Celtics, averaging 11.1 points per game, shooting 44.3% and 35.3% from three-point range.

It is worth mentioning that Jrue Holiday was traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Portland Trail Blazers in September 2023, but the Boston Celtics quickly acquired Jrue Holiday through a trade, and Jrue Holiday helped the Boston Celtics win the NBA championship in 2024.

Jrue Holiday, a shooting guard, said, "I was still at home in California when I received a call from Brad Stephens, who told me some news in advance. I was very excited at the time. After all, I had been traded here before, so it felt like a reincarnation. I then talked with coach Chauncey Billups and general manager Joe Cronin."

"I really appreciate what they've done for me, and it's been huge for my career. "In that conversation, it felt like they finally had the opportunity to get you and thought I could be a big piece for this team."

Zhu Holiday also said, “I have played in the league for many years and know that this road will not always be bright, smooth and easy. But when you join a team with excellent character, culture and good organization, you can make basketball better. That’s why I am willing to play here, because you can feel that you are part of a bigger cause than yourself.”
