Love this for Portland. They were close last year to making the playoffs and a true veteran point guard like Jrue should help push them to further heights. Portland saw how FVV stabilized Houston and they are thinking the same thing.

Don’t see the benefit for Boston on the court but financially I see the reason.

People really underestimating how important Jrue was to the Celtics. Blazers might reroute him for a 1st rounder later since they aren’t going to be desperate to move him like the Celtics are.

Lowkey if Suggs isn’t working out Orlando should hit the Blazers up for Jrue and really become contenders.

Portland ended the season really strong and probably think adding a vet guard like Jrue can help them become a legitimate playoff team. Also remember seeing reports they wanted to bring someone in to help mentor Scoot

For the Celtics, it’s an obvious downgrade defensively but getting out of Jrue’s deal is the W. It’s low risk high reward. If it works out cool, if not :manny:
