The Raptors called the Celtics with the No. 9 pick in the 2025 draft, though it doesn't sound like Boston was very interested in the selection.

The Boston Celtics began to re-tool their once championship roster this offseason by trading away point guard Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers. However, per NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Celtics turned down a very aggressive offer from the Toronto Raptors.

The Celtics are trading Jrue Holiday to the Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons and two second-round draft picks, sources told ESPN on Monday night.

Holiday was dealt to Portland last month in exchange for Anfernee Simons and two second-round picks, but when the trade officially went through on Monday, the picks were no longer part of the move.

Adding Jrue Holiday is a sign that the Trail Blazers believe they have enough pieces in place to actually have a chance to play in the playoffs next season. Holiday's new coach is very happy to have him. Chauncey Billups seems pleased to have a veteran point guard on his team who has won a championship.
