In return, the Phoenix Suns will receive Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Nassir Little, and Keon Johnson in the deal.
Portland is expected to explore trade options for Holiday with other contending teams, ESPN reported.
The trade comes after Lillard requested a trade from Portland, where he has spent his entire 11-year NBA career.
The Trail Blazers have struggled in recent years, missing the playoffs for the past two seasons since their Western Conference Finals run in the 2018-19 season.
