Blazers will flip him.

He would be awfully nice on the Rockets or Lakers.

[1987_Lakers]

Holiday is washed. A bench piece at this point.

[fsvr54]

So stupid. Jrue would've been awesome in Denver.

Anything is better than Westbrick

Whats even more interesting is Shams reporting theyll continue looking at trades for other "key players."

Horford is expired, they cant trade him. Consequently I dont think they trade KP since theyd be very thin at center. Not a good time to trade Tatum with his value lowered by injury. Derrick White is too good of a bargain, he makes 20M/yr less than Tatum and Brown and is better than both of em. Pritchard just won 6MoY and is making single figure millions.

Who else could it be but Jaylen Brown?

I think they’d love to trade KP. He’s always out.

Yeah I mean I guess if they got another big in return it could make some sense. Even if they sign Kornet to an extension theyd be pretty thin with Al and KP gone unless they pick up someone else.

KP for Jaxon Hayes, anyone?

[bison]

The picks went in the wrong direction. Portland got crushed on this trade.

The prediction months ago of the majority was it was going to be Holiday and Progz on the way out more than likely.

The ainges would probably take him

Wishing Jrue Holiday well. I think Portland is now trying to do some winning so being there shouldn't be awful for him and anyhow he's rich and he's won two championships so this isn't a sad story.

I haven't paid a lot of attention to Simons but supposedly he can score and he can shoot. Celtics did the deal to save money, he doesn't make the team better on paper but he should be good for depth. One positive is that he's significantly younger. Holiday will be 36 when Tatum is ready to come back and was already having a hard time staying on the floor at 35. The defense is taking a huge hit but Stevens has a year to figure that out.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Wondering also if Portland got him to trade him again to a contender. Lakers could use him badly.

[Wally450]

I think they’d love to trade KP. He’s always out.

Its a shame we didn't get to see him healthy during this postseason run. He had some sort of long covid or something that just didn't allow him to play big minutes. Which is funny because from an injury standpoint, he was healthy. But of course, there's always something with Porzingis :facepalm

Id guess they are keeping him. Great vet for up and coming team. Blazers should be in the mix this year

[Jasper]

Holidays shoot was failing with the Bucks ,... now Celtics realize he is just to old.

Holidays shoot was failing with the Bucks ,... now Celtics realize he is just to old.If the Celtics were in position to compete for the championship next season they may not have made the deal, its the combination of second apron and Tatum's injury that drove this. It's harder to keep him healthy but if you can load manage him right Holiday can help you in the postseason.

[NBAGOAT]

simons might start over pritchard, hes going be the 2nd leading score I think. then gets traded at deadline for even more salary relief I think.

[John8204]

Holiday is washed. A bench piece at this point.

Guy should have gotten the FMVP last year, waaaaaaaaay to early to say he's washed. Would not be shocked if he doesn't elevate another team to a title.

[beasted]

The Blazers have the stupidest front office in the league. If anyone wants to debate that, I'm ready.

[beasted]

The Celtics will end up flipping Simons for a 1st rounder at the deadline.
