TRADE: Jrue Holiday to the Celtics for Timelord, Brogdan and 2 firsts.

You're favorite player is basically an inferior version of Howard in his prime. Howard is no longer in his prime but with the offensive talent the Celtics can bring it a big that can rebound and block shots is all that is required. And Howard is also experienced in the playoffs.

Howard is playing in Taiwan or Puerto Rico or wherever for good reason.

Adrian Wojnarowski: That’s the current tally on Damian Lillard trade, anyway: Portland plans to keep Robert Williams to pair with Deandre Ayton, sources say, but there has certainly been interest in veteran Malcolm Brogdon and expect teams will be calling on him. Blazers are committed to young guards.

He has definitely declined but every player that is capable of playing in the NBA isn't necessarily in the NBA. I know that him being in Asia looks bad but the last time I saw him play he could still rebound and block shots. He's still in great shape and still strong. No harm for the Celtics to give him a look.

suns would be unstoppable with brogdon. blazers owe us for bending us over on the ayton deal, but i'm sure they won't give us any favor for that.

Ugh.

[highwhey]

i guess this solves the "whos going to replace marcus smart defensive role"


celtics>>>bucks. unless tatum chokes again.

yeah they could certainly give him a look like GS did. GS ended up with Rudy Gay's corpse and Rodney McGruder they were so impressed with their look

Gotta wonder what embiid thinks of these eastern conference teams making big moves while the sixers continue to sit on harden

That's not a good deal. Brogdan is almost as good as jrue himself but much younger. Never mind throwing in one of the best defensive centers in the league and picks. Big L by Boston.

True. Jrue is a likeable guy but he's getting older and the Cs gave a bit much just to get him.

Who is going to replace Robert Williams? Giannis and embiid are gonna feast on horford and KP.

Also it’s hilarious Holiday ended up on the Celtics because that is the worse case scenario for the bucks. You just gave your conference rival an elite defender. They should have had more control over where holiday went by getting a 4th team involved in the dame trade rather than send him to Portland which was an obvious layover for him

If you are signing a free agent in October it's going to be someone that other teams passed on. Who are you expecting to be available? Just because the Warriors didn't think he could help doesn't mean no team can use him.

if you're the celtics, embiid isn't much of a concern.

and giannis is going to get 45 whistles a game regardless of who's guarding. but he isn't going to beat tthe celtics alone, and dame will have his hands full on both ends bc now he has to contest 3 wings while being guarded by possibly the best guard defender in Jrue. on paper, celtics have them on a tilt.

Everyone has passed on him for a few years. Must be reasons
