ThePortland Trail Blazersdidn’t waste time trading Jrue Holiday to theBoston Celticsafter securing the veteran guard in the Damian Lillard deal with theMilwaukee Buckslast week.

In the deal, the Blazers were able to bring back Malcolm Brogdon, Robert Williams III and two first round picks. However, the Celtics weren’t the only team enquiring about Holiday’s services.

The Athletic’s Shams Charania yesterday suggested the Blazers and Clippers had initially had discussions about a deal involving Holiday and almost 27-year-old wing Terance Mann.

Terence Mann is a guy that has gotten a lot of value around the league, that’s an attractive piece across the league. That’s a guy that’s name also came up in conversations that the Clippers had with Portland around Jrue Holiday.

Last season with the Clippers, the 6-5 Mann averaged 8.8 points on 38.9 percent three point shooting, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
