Celtics trade 2 time World Champion Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trailblazers for Anfernee Simons and 2 picks.

[High quality poster]

Man wtf… they gave them picks too

One would have to assume that Simons indicated that he won’t resign, with one year left, perhaps they wanted to cash in on him. But yea it seems like they could’ve got some first rounders instead instead of an old, full, family man who hasn’t played 70 games since 2018 and is probably more likely to play 50 than 70 next season

 

[GunRanger]

and doing this when the team is for sale is a weird fukkin decision...

It's not. They were a play-in threat after a horrible start. Theyre trying to make the playoffs this year. A competitive team gets a better offer

 

[Ribbs]

This trade makes absolutely no sense. How did they got off a declining player for a player entering his prime and the better contract? AND PICKS?!

 

[iamduval]

I don’t understand why Portland even has a franchise

 

[thelonious21]

As a Blazers fan..
I dont understand this at all..
I know we want to give Sharpe the keys..
But.. why bring in Jrue and we still trying to figure out if scoot is any good

 

[thelonious21]

Is Simons better than Pritchard? Probably but it's a good trade for the Cs if he can be average on defense.

Blazers better not send Jrue to the Lakers or some shyt.

I am hoping he doesn't stay with us

 

[THE 101]

Good to see a Blazers legend return home.

 

[iamduval]

Keep getting them checks Jrue. The Blazers only exist to help the Celtics. They’re like a farm franchise and ofcourse Silver allows it bc the league is a joke

 

[Damnshow]

Blazers are pathetic franchise. Helping out Clippers and Celtics all the time.

 

[Regular_P]

This is an absolute joke of a trade. Boston is the team that needed to shed salary in the worst way and somehow Portland is the team sending OUT picks to take back a terrible contract with three years still remaining in exchange for an expiring.

Now, Portland is gonna be paying $64-74 million a year through 2027 for Jrue Holiday and Jerami Grant.

 

[King Poetic]

Portland is ridiculous

Dude is 35 years old and washed

The kid is 26 and has showed promise

But thats terrible franchises for u

 

[CantStop]

Celtics always get bailed out

It won’t mean much next season cause Tatum is out but 2 years from now it’s gonna show

Jrue will be a good mentor for Scoot and Shae. Young teams need a guy like that. Look at the impact Chris Paul has had on teams lately.

You can't make this shyt up man

How do you run a franchise so stupidly and handout your players to the Celtics
