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

Portland wants to go with Sharpe and Scoot long term and didn’t wanna pay Simons big $$$.

Maybe Simons can lock in on defense now that he doesn’t have to be the focal point on an offense but he’s basically a taller Terry Rozier at the moment

Sharpe and Scoot need to grow up fast

Avdija was lowkey the Blazers best player this season

 

[FAH1223]

Didn't he initially get traded to Portland a few years ago?

Two years ago in the Lillard trade

Then got rerouted to Boston to spite Miami

Sharpe and Scoot need to grow up fast

You know what would help with that? Getting a veteran guard who has had a lot of success in the league to show them the way. Wonder where they can find one of those……

 

[GoldenGlove]

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”

Closer. Need Portland to make the Playoffs for us to get that pick.

They weren't THAT far off this season. They had some solid runs that had them close to threatening for a Play-In spot

Jrue is 35 maybe they think he can play that mike Conley role. He is 3 years younger than Conley.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

If Portland has intentions of keeping Jrue (this time), I’d imagine Chauncey had a lot to do with this move.

Jrue was great last year but lost 2 steps offensively and definitely this year(2nd worse season of his career). Still a solid vet on a very expensive deal.

 

[Da_Eggman]

They can get a whole lot from a contender for him.

I dunno about a whole lot

He’s been there 4 years and just got the extension, he’s definitely itching to win some games

Them dudes ain’t gon listen to no damn Jrue

why would any team want his contract?

this is a weird trade?


celtics must thought they had a dynasty signing him to that big ass deal

 

[duckbutta]

Celtics aint had a cone in their backcourt like simons since what kemba? They probably move him

Maybe after awhile but for this coming season they got to create 27 points out of thin air to replace Tatum production. Simons is good for 20 of it.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I think people vastly overestimate Simons. He can get hot with the three but he is not a PG and is a really bad defender. Only really valuable with the ball in his hands and if he’s hot on that day

fukk all that... he's gonna sit in the corner and you know it. We ain't tryna see him with the ball in his hands.

Another fleecing for Brad. Saved a TON of money here...

only reason why I'm not sure what's in it for Portland is because I figured they'd wanna give more space for Sharpe and Scoot.

At the very least it guarantees they're not drafting a PG at 11.

Portland's going for it so I gotta respect it and Boston did their job without having to trade White.

Holiday-Camara-Avdija gonna have people in hell

 

[tremonthustler1]

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.

Orlando ain't doing that.
