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

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.

Not huge on Simon's his defense sucks but dont understand this trade, maybe Portland flips jrue?

And so it begins

NBA fuçkery

 

[Trojan 24]

How many years left on Jrue contract? Why are the Blazers the ones adding picks?

 

[Sk3ptical]

the nba is a suspect

NBA ain't trying to see no damn pacers in the finals again.

I love that gif






That bald cocksucker looks completely miffed and baffled

 

[Wargames]

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.

Boston taking 120 3s a game next year.

3 years @ 35m each

Sent that man to a nba gulag

 

[Loose]

Had to rethink about it the deal for Portland Simon's is a negative, so had to give up something to move him. Scoot and sharpen looks promising

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

nikka THEY LITERALLY
HAD HOLIDAY ALREADY
FROM THE DAME TRADE
AND GIFTED HIM TO BOS
JUST TO SPITE MIA.

THIS ISNT A SERIOUS ORGANIZATION

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

does this get us closer or further from getting that Portland lotto protected 1st owed to us over next 3 seasons @GoldenGlove @jwinfield hopefully this means they are going for “it”
