The Portland Trail Blazers have ended Anfernee Simons ’ seven-year run with the franchise by trading him to the Boston Celtics for Jrue Holiday. ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported the news. Simons, 26, averaged 19.3 points and 4.8 assists last season while struggling to adapt to being the starting point guard.

Facing what is expected to be an offseason of significant change, the Boston Celtics took the first step in reshaping their championship roster with a reported trade that will send veteran point guard Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for young scoring guard Anfernee Simons and a pair of second-round picks.
