Re: Jrue Holiday to the Celtics.
Love it for the Blazers, like it for the Celtics.
Porzingis is an elite rim protector, it wouldnt have hurt to play him and TL together but it isnt necessary. If they go Jrue, Brown, Tatum, Horford and Zingis together that is a scary defensive team. And Horford gives you much more spacing. They paid a steep price and thinned out their bench a bit but that team can compete with the Bucks.

I mean these are talented individuals but that is not a long term core IMO. The collective IQ is just not gonna be contender caliber. Thats not intended to be condescending it’s just the analytical reality.

Well no, you cant count on him objectively, but theyre taking a chance with him so they might as well take this chance too. Theyre pot committed.

Re: Jrue Holiday to the Celtics.
NBA GMs are deliberately stacking deck for teams (Bucks, Celtics, Suns) they think can stop Lebron from winning a 5th championship.
But they will fail because their opponent is not Lebron but God. God wants Wembenyama to be GOAT. Followed by Lebron. Than in last place is Jordan. There's nothing NBA GMs can do to stop this.
So despite having Tatum avatar, Giannis being my favorite international player all-time. I'm still going to root for Lebron to win his 5th championship this upcoming season.

JohnMax you have been on the cutting edge for years at posting with a consistent ambiguity that nobody could discern if you were just an honestly crazy person or an intentional troll.
Please dont lose that discipline.

Re: Jrue Holiday to the Celtics.
Worth pointing out: Portland has already laid out a good foundation for the post-Lillaird rebuild. In two years they could be as good as they ever were with him.

I tentatively like this trade for Boston. If they can stay healthy, watch out!
