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

This is a dumb trade by Portland why are you takin on Jrue Holiday at his age with that contract?

Portland really thinks they are a playoff team.

they do.


they really liked how they played down the stretch

Sharpe needs to take a big leap next year

Portland has the chance to have a hell of a defense next season.

@Skooby @Serious

No more Blazers from the 2019 WCF team

Still rebuilding.

 

[feelosofer]

I don't think this is bad a trade for the Blazers as some. They could use a veteran defender. Yes Jrue is old but his experience would be valuable to a younger team.

Celtics twitter with ZERO posts about the trade or Simons. Makes me think theyre gonna trade Simons elsewhere

Say it so @SchoolboyC @GOAT at least like Simons play a season with the GOAT franchise

Teams can’t make official trade announcements till the start of the new calendar season next week I think. Same reason the Hawks haven’t said anything publicly about the KP deal

Looking to continue shedding salary, the Celtics have explored the idea of flipping Anfernee Simons’ $27.7 million expiring contract, according to league sources. In such a move, they would be aiming to accomplish two organizational directives Brad Stevens emphasized after the first round of the NBA Draft on Wednesday: regaining more roster flexibility and setting up a path to retain free agents Luke Kornet and Al Horford.

Only team I can see for Simons is the Bucks.

The 2nd round picks the Celtics were originally reported to get from Portland have been removed, bc apparently Portland didn’t like something in his physical

So it’s just a player for player swap

They didn't like something in Jrue's physical?

Probably realized he's old

It's only been five games, but Jrue is EXACTLY what this team needed. He still has a lot left in the tank.

I just hope he isnt traded to Houston

Would be a wrap- perfect fit.
