These guys won't stop touching.

And you can pretty much do it in perpetuity.

Yep.

The sports hub.

All you were sleeping, a very consequential trade.

The Celtics are sending Drew Holiday to Portland for

Anthony Simons and two second round draft picks. Simons joins Boston on an expiring contract

while the 35-year-old holiday is owed $72 million across the next two seasons. Let's start

with the man behind all the NBA money, and that's our Bobby Marks.

Wendy had told us yesterday.

Actually, last week, you said the thing to start watching is does Boston start selling off pieces?

This obviously is the beginning of that.

Yeah, the most important thing to know is where they were with the second apron.

And the second apron is a punitive restriction, the inability to make is where they were with the second apron. And the second apron is a

punitive restriction, the inability to make trades. They were roughly $22 million over the second

apron. Chip away, chip away, chip away. This gets them to $18 million in the Drew Holiday trade.

You get back in expiring contract in Anthony Simons. You shed the $72 million owed to holiday in years three and four.

And now it puts you in position, whether it be a Christops for Zingas potential trade on an expiring contract or another move to basically shed that salary.

We're looking potentially at Boston, saving potentially $200 million when we get through the next few weeks here.

So it's a significant move for the Celtics.

It's certainly a significant move for the Trailblazers as far as how they both teams were able to get a deal done.
