According to NBA insider Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, the Portland Trail Blazers plan to keep Jrue Holiday.

The Trail Blazers acquired Holiday from the Boston Celtics in the Anfernee Simons trade.

There was interest in Jrue Holiday from Sacramento, Dallas and others. The plan, for now, is definitely for Portland to keep the veteran point guard, sources say, as the Blazers look to compete in the Western Conference. I’ve seen some wondering whether or not POR would flip him. https://t.co/uKR3pp01Ww
