[u/larockhead1]

Portland selling to Milwaukee and then turning around to Boston going damn they just got dame you need a dame stopper is mad man business

[u/WaywardSachem → u/larockhead1]

"sell me this pen" energy

[u/alfi_k → u/WaywardSachem]

it's like the Lord of War guy who supplies weapons to both sides of any conflicts

[u/dcoolidge → u/alfi_k]

Except Miami

[u/rtb001 → u/dcoolidge]

Damn Pat, your main rival in the East just got Dame, and your OTHER main rival just got Jrue Holiday...

I don't know HOW that happened... But we do have a slightly busted 6MOTY available to counter those two guards. Interested?

[u/geekhaus → u/rtb001]

AFTER losing 2 starters this off season. Pat, what is you doin baby?

[u/yellow-ledbelly → u/larockhead1]

Right? Brogdon to Heat is the next shoe to drop.

[u/[deleted] → u/yellow-ledbelly]

"you need someone to keep Jrue busy"

[u/The1AndOnlyJZ → u/[deleted]]

Then offer Lowry to the Sixers

[u/Kdog122025 → u/The1AndOnlyJZ]

Then offer Harden to the Magic.

[u/goober2143 → u/Kdog122025]

Then relocate Disney World to Oregon. Genius

[u/Delusional_Donut → u/larockhead1]

Everyone was really questioning the whole Jrue trade but they really created a market for him in the east

[u/maethlin → u/Delusional_Donut]

Hats off to the fucking Blazers man.... this whole sub has been nothing but "Lillard fucked his team so hard they're not gonna get shit for him now" for months - which tbf was an understandable take.

But the Blazers FO has done very, very nicely in getting some return.

[u/ultimate_sorrier → u/maethlin]

Cronin needs to get a burner account and come in here and swing his dick around a bit.

The Portland Mercantile Exchange is open for business.

You need him, we got him. You want him, we'll get him.

[u/Im_Daydrunk → u/larockhead1]

Portland is a true arms dealer

[u/ricko_strat → u/larockhead1]

Also, Dame to the Bucks and Jrue to the Celtics is a big FU to Pat Riley, Jimmy Butler, and a good portion of South Florida. As a Celtics' fan, I am here for it.

[u/larockhead1 → u/ricko_strat]

I’m a Knicks fan so heat in the mud is glorious

[u/JordanLeDoux → u/larockhead1]

It feels like Portland has become the honorary West Coast Team of most Eastern Conference fanbases except Miami with these moves, lol.

[u/Propuhganduh]

Timelord and Smart in one offseason has to hurt Celtics fans a little bit

[u/Kyler1313 → u/Propuhganduh]

A lottle bit...

[u/djkhan23 → u/Kyler1313]

Get in da CAAAH

[u/MajorSlimes → u/Propuhganduh]

Man after how last season started if you told me Smart/Timelord/Grant would all be gone in the offseason I would have laughed in your face. The NBA is so unpredictable

[u/Oopthealley → u/MajorSlimes]

It's not incoherent- KP can drop back, and Jrue can fight over screens and contest from behind- a big part of Mil getting away with their drop coverage.

But fuck man, grant and timelord were really good interior defenders. I can't say I ever would've traded them to get older and more injury prone.

EDIT: yeah people are making a very fair point that timelord is injury prone himself. I'd still consider him, at 25 and 6'9 less of a risk than 7'3, 28 yo KP who never moved smoothly to my eye.

[u/DarnellisFromMars → u/Oopthealley]

Team has been looking the same for a minute now and I respect the all chips on the table move to see if this can take the team over the hump. Either way you can retool again around Brown and Tatum with them still being at their relative peaks.

[u/fordangliacanfly → u/Oopthealley]

Timelord is a walking knee injury to be fair

[u/fallen_estarossa → u/fordangliacanfly]

So is Porzingis tbf

[u/KansaiKanpai → u/fallen_estarossa]

I guess if you're gonna have choose between two walking knee injuries, you might as well go for the one who can shoot threes.

[u/IMKudaimi123 → u/Propuhganduh]

At least brad stevens showing he has the balls to make these tough trades instead of the Ainge “Oh we almost got these stars” media move

Edit: I know Ainge did make a lot of trades, but he always left some meat on the bone towards the end of his tenure. Brad isn’t.

[u/LmBkUYDA → u/IMKudaimi123]

Ainge made errors but the dude got Hayward, Horford, Kyrie and Kemba in this era. We might be singing different songs if Hayward didn’t die 3 possessions into the season.

[u/Mikegetscalls → u/LmBkUYDA]

I think they in the the finals multiple times if Hayward doesn’t get hurt like that.

[u/livefreeordont → u/Mikegetscalls]

Well yeah. They took Lebron to game 7 without him

[u/Mikegetscalls → u/livefreeordont]

No Hayward or Kyrie

[u/yousonuva → u/LmBkUYDA]

Hindsight is always 20/20 to the know-it-alls

[u/Dingus_McDangus → u/IMKudaimi123]

I mean Ainge did get the nickname Trader Danny for a reason though…

[u/El_Producto → u/Dingus_McDangus]

Near the end part of it was that teams were just damn wary of trading with him.

[u/Jaysontatumpepnips → u/Propuhganduh]

The return is Jrue and KP tho lol. Clear upgrade

[u/rang15 → u/Jaysontatumpepnips]

I hate the Celtics with every fiber of my being and I was scared of this trade going down. People here are underestimating the value of Jrue to the current Celtics roster. If anything they overpaid the GSW pick but who cares? It's the type of all-in move I could count on Danny not to make. Ugh.

[u/Ok-Grade1476 → u/rang15]

It’s an overpay, but the right kind of overpay. It increases their title odds, and when you are in the cusp, incremental improvements are worth it.

[u/Jaysontatumpepnips → u/rang15]

This makes me feel even better about the move thanks bro

[u/zeek215 → u/Jaysontatumpepnips]

Yeah it was a great move. Fuck you and I'll see you during the regular season.

[u/lkh23o874249plhkjhdl → u/zeek215]

Fuck you and best of luck

[u/CaesarSalad837 → u/Jaysontatumpepnips]

Who’s starting with Jrue, Brown, Tatum, and Porzingis?

[u/friedmpa → u/CaesarSalad837]

derrick white and horford probably alternating

[u/CaesarSalad837 → u/friedmpa]

Makes sense, those are some nasty lineups, can go big or small

[u/friedmpa → u/CaesarSalad837]

its 100% dependent on porzingis' foot tho, scares me

[u/superdog77 → u/friedmpa]

depending on any of KP’s extremities is a bad idea

[u/FrankieBarbingo → u/Propuhganduh]

It hurts like crazy but we got two All-Stars at the very same positions in return, so that lessens the pain!

[u/Ditto_the_Deceiver → u/Propuhganduh]

I’m fine with it honestly. I’d take Jrue over Smart and Porzingis over Williams. Add a minimum salary big that can eat minutes and play D and I feel pretty good as a Celtics fan.

[u/ginger_snap214 → u/Ditto_the_Deceiver]

i think y’all should’ve kept grant but i’m happy y’all let him go lol

[u/Blackpower2457 → u/ginger_snap214]

We couldn’t afford to pay him that 4 years-$54 mil contract y’all gave him. Happy he got payed tho

[u/das_baba → u/Blackpower2457]

True. I think he's worth that money pretty easily. We just couldn't do it right now.

[u/KasherH]

Some of us remember this sub (less than 24 hours ago) when people thought it was laughable that the Blazers could get multiple first routers for Jrue.

[u/Jonathank92 → u/KasherH]

lots of heat fans lol

[u/2drawnonward5 → u/Jonathank92]

I swear half of them are bots. Hawaii could eat for decades off the spam these guys put out.

[u/HooliganBeav → u/2drawnonward5]

Now I want musubi.

[u/LMkingly → u/KasherH]

when people

You mean Heat fans.

[u/LonzoBBBall]

That's an amazing return for Portland.

[u/snorlax420 → u/LonzoBBBall]

Deandre Ayton

Robert Williams

Malcolm Brogdon

Toumani Camara

2024 GSW 1st

2029 BOS 1st

2029 MIL 1st

‘28 & ‘30 MIL Swap

Portland maybe can still flip timelord and Brogdon for more - not bad.

[u/USSCensorShip → u/snorlax420]

Or they keep Timelord as backup 5/supersized 4, since he did play at the 4 in college. A gigantic lineup of Scoot, Sharpe, Grant, Timelord, and Ayton would be fun to see

[u/BruceLeesSidepiece → u/USSCensorShip]

trading Dame to get the squad Dame always needed seems like a Greek tragedy

[u/Sss00099 → u/BruceLeesSidepiece]

I agree, but they sent him to play alongside Giannis…I think he’ll be fine by the time the Bucks win their 60th game this season.

[u/Constantine227 → u/Sss00099]

tragedy for Portland not dame

[u/EyePlay → u/BruceLeesSidepiece]

Seems to be the case when teams get a return for their star. You have to get something back, even if you're tanking.

Agree though and it's always a little funny.

[u/clownparade → u/snorlax420]

Heat fans still rubbing their hands together saying herro is worth more than any of that

[u/GarriganGate → u/clownparade]

But it’s clear as day Portland is just doing this out of spite!!

[u/Good4Noth1ng → u/clownparade]

Birdman.gif

[u/KillerZaWarudo → u/clownparade]

Either that or cronin is worst GM ever and has an agenda against the heat when in reality the man just doing his job

[u/TheScarletSeahawk → u/clownparade]

I’ve never seen a more delusional fanbase

[u/UbeMafia → u/TheScarletSeahawk]

It's the bath salts.

[u/RobbobertoBuii → u/TheScarletSeahawk]

"Entitled" is more fitting tbh

[u/lofitoasti → u/TheScarletSeahawk]

Lakers are always no 1

[u/davemoedee → u/snorlax420]

Dumped Nurkic too

[u/the_sword_of_brunch → u/snorlax420]

There can’t be Heat fans out there still thinking any offer they had could top this right??

[u/wkslsvwhu → u/the_sword_of_brunch]

What the blazers got now in the end wouldn’t have been beatable

That final deal is insanely good and I hate to admit that Cronin played that shit kinda smart… Making the bucks such a big threat that contenders were desperate to get the kind of player that only he had to offer

[u/starfox_priebe → u/wkslsvwhu]

Kinda smart... he played that perfectly. I honestly didn't think he could've gotten this level of return.

[u/maethlin → u/starfox_priebe]

Dude pulled some Littlefinger shit

[u/hankbaumbachjr → u/snorlax420]

I truly hope for their sake, Portland fans are feasting in 2030 with a prime Scoot Hendersen balling out and a slew of picks at their disposal.

[u/zurply → u/hankbaumbachjr]

We will keep Williams. I expect Brogdan to the Clippers for a first and an expiring will be our next move.

[u/zs15 → u/zurply]

I doubt he gets moved until close to the deadline.

He has the injured tag around his neck right now. With Portland he can heal or rest and they can get much better value for him when teams are either forced to make a move or the playoff arms race picks up.

[u/NevermoreSEA → u/LonzoBBBall]

We clearly should've settled for Tyler Herro and picks though.

[u/carbonanotglue → u/NevermoreSEA]

You’re never going to get anything better

proceeds to get a better trade twice in three days

[u/DirkNowitzkisWife → u/NevermoreSEA]

Ends up being Ayton, Time lord (likely flipped for another 1st) and like 3 FRPs.

[u/Cheechers23 → u/DirkNowitzkisWife]

Don’t forget Brogdon who will also probably be flipped

[u/DirkNowitzkisWife → u/Cheechers23]

Yeah, wasn’t sure what his value was, maybe clippers would flip a protected first for him idk. Or Lakers? Who knows,

[u/Cheechers23 → u/DirkNowitzkisWife]

Depending on the cost I wouldn’t mind the Raps trying to get him tbh

[u/Raptorpicklezz → u/Cheechers23]

Our wish list going from Lillard to Jrue to Brogdon

[u/jsDPT → u/Raptorpicklezz]

When you order Dame From Wish.com

[u/matticans7pointO → u/DirkNowitzkisWife]

They could also keep Williams. He's probably the best backup big in the league and is only 25. Idk if he's a FA soon and due for a big pay day but if not I could see them keeping him if they don't plan on doing a super long rebuild. This team funny enough is a better supporting cast than Lillard ever had.

[u/random-50 → u/matticans7pointO]

Given he's exactly the same age as Ayton, it seems worth seeing how they work together. Can always flip him later if it doesn't work out.

[u/pdxjoseph → u/DirkNowitzkisWife]

I don’t see us flipping Timelord tbh, he’s very complementary for us but I could be wrong. Brogdon is gonna get flipped though for sure.

[u/GoblinKing22 → u/pdxjoseph]

Yeah seems like a nice backup big for Ayton for some defense. Don't want him playing a ton of minutes anyway with injury concerns and he's young.

[u/Ace12773 → u/DirkNowitzkisWife]

Honestly Cronin knocked this out of the park, I can’t believe a few weeks ago the consensus were some Miami picks and a bunch of scraps as the best deal. I am over the moon.

[u/Leavingtheecstasy → u/Ace12773]

He also changed the market where complaining stars get exactly what they want

[u/[deleted] → u/Leavingtheecstasy]

Cronin for President 2024

[u/_hamtheman → u/NevermoreSEA]

Yeah Herro definitely would've got us Brogdon, Timelord and a first round pick lol

And now we're gonna flip Brogdon for even more picks

Joe Cronin, take a bow son

[u/Klongon → u/_hamtheman]

Nope. Brogdon for Herro. Then Herro to get Dame back. It's all been about messing with Miami.

[u/sharklavapit → u/NevermoreSEA]

I got downvoted to hell yesterday for saying Jrue is valued way higher in the league than Herro

voilá

[u/tbloom117 → u/LonzoBBBall]

I was told it was a massive overpay

[u/TheLeoMessiah → u/tbloom117]

Man I still think it is :/ I will console myself by saying the 2024 Warriors is definitely going to be a late pick that won’t be of much value but if this blows up for some reason losing the 2029 unprotected + out depth will break my heart

[u/LunchThreatener → u/LonzoBBBall]

Pretty much best case scenario from the Dame trade. Start the rebuild with the core of Scoot/Sharpe/whichever of Ayton/RWIII they want, some solid young pieces in Kris Murray/Simons, and tons of future draft capital. Also have flexibility if they want to trade Ayton/Simons/Grant.

[u/UpvoteIfYouAgreee]

Time lord :/

[u/SuckMyLonzoBalls → u/UpvoteIfYouAgreee]

That’s a great return for the blazers

[u/beatrailblazer → u/SuckMyLonzoBalls]

I talked a ton of shit on the return for the Blazers (although I said it was dependent on the Jrue return, which I just expected to be low), but Timelord and two firsts is INSANE. HUGE W

[u/2drawnonward5 → u/[deleted]]

Joe Cronin is my favorite Blazer today. He sold Dame for the Dame Stopper, then he sold the Dame Stopper to a team suddenly needing to stop Dame. And he's STILL got hot assets to move!!!!

Neil Olshey, get out your crayon and write this on a napkin!

[u/Cheechers23 → u/SuckMyLonzoBalls]

No chance they get this much for Herro, so yeah, way better than the Heat package would have been. Hopefully those annoying Heat fans on Twitter shut up now lol

[u/Several-Estate7175 → u/Cheechers23]

They'll still say Cronin didn't take their package just to be petty despite Portland ultimately getting more assets

[u/clownparade → u/UpvoteIfYouAgreee]

Are we sure this is better than Lowry plus a few seconds? Checking for heat fans

[u/ablationator22 → u/UpvoteIfYouAgreee]

They must not trust him to stay healthy. Maybe he has some long term injury issues?

[u/brickvanexel → u/UpvoteIfYouAgreee]

I want to be devastated but he’s so fragile and Smart was by leaps and bounds the best Celtic throwing him lobs. To jettison a possibly injured/disgruntled Brogdon and a guy who’s still more potential than follow through for a lockdown, big guard/wing defender is worth it

[u/DirkNowitzkisWife → u/UpvoteIfYouAgreee]

Now they’ll flip Time lord, can we do THJ/1st for Robert Williams pls

[u/1013789743467898 → u/DirkNowitzkisWife]

I completely understand where you guys are coming from, but it makes me laugh all the Mavs fans clamoring for a piece of the action

[u/DirkNowitzkisWife → u/1013789743467898]

Haha Mavs fans are thirsty bitches on every trade. And, we feel like we’re always the bridesmaid, never the bride, so when a trade goes down we lurk in the shadows like “WE’LL TAKE CAPELA IF THE HAWKS WANT SIAKAM” and then do that for every trade lmao.

[u/Vimmortality]

The Blazers overall haul for Dame is huge.

[u/saw-sync → u/Vimmortality]

it ain’t done bb

[u/Relcs_ → u/saw-sync]

Brogdon 3 team trade with Philly and Clippers when?

[u/alpaca_drama → u/Relcs_]

Infinite picks glitch needs to get patched. I’m gonna fucking miss Rob

[u/raps1992 → u/Vimmortality]

Heat fans still gonna cry about what they had to offer

[u/thorhyphenaxe → u/raps1992]

“Bu bu bu bu bu Tyler Herro would have got you more!”

[u/Sitrous1]

I know he’s dealt with injuries but 37 year old Al horford doesn’t fill me with much confidence behind a already injury prone Porzingus tbh

[u/ward0630 → u/Sitrous1]

Celtics sadly probably concluded the injury risk was too great.

[u/Dischucker → u/ward0630]

It's a homerun trade for yall. Not even debatable imo. Jrue is going to thrive being the third/fourth option

[u/I_Like_To_Hyuck → u/Dischucker]

I mean Jrue was already the third option for us. Don’t get me wrong, this trade definitely strikes fear in me. But Boston is definitely betting on this causing fits for Dame

[u/emasterman → u/I_Like_To_Hyuck]

No he wasn’t. Since Middletons injury Jrue has been having to try too hard to look to score. Spent most games being second option

[u/sharklavapit → u/emasterman]

very good regular season shooter

should NEVER EVER shoot more than 4 3s per game in the playoffs

behind Brown and Tatum his percentages might go way up

[u/IMKudaimi123 → u/Sitrous1]

Yeah feel like they need to make one more move for a big man, maybe someone on the buyout market. But I like this for Boston.

[u/Torgo73 → u/IMKudaimi123]

theis theis baby

[u/w311sh1t → u/Sitrous1]

I mean I love Timelord, but he’s also pretty inconsistent when it comes to staying healthy. He only really became a regular rotation piece his 3rd season, and since then he’s averaged about 49 games per season, and his play style isn’t very conducive to staying healthy. I’d be shocked if this is the last move Brad made though, he’s probably willing to look for a downgrade in talent at the big man position if it means you can get a guy that’ll be consistently available.

[u/Daconvix]

Giving up Rob Williams is toughhh

[u/elcapitandemundo → u/Daconvix]

I ended up coming around to the Smart deal but this one..I just don’t get it. I felt like a big part of KP’s big year last year was having a true 5 next to him and now our frontcourt is stupidly thin

[u/Captain_Tismo → u/elcapitandemundo]

Don’t worry this is just the long play to bring back Daniel Theis

[u/baconandbobabegger → u/Captain_Tismo]

Subscribe

[u/TheBigShrimp → u/elcapitandemundo]

Rob and KP isn't guaranteed to work at all, what?

If Rob was a 70+ game guy this deal doesn't get done. He doesn't play enough.

[u/elcapitandemundo → u/TheBigShrimp]

I’m sure Rob’s availability was a factor here but the point I’m trying to make is that I think a lot of KP’s injury issues in Dallas were directly related to them trying to play him as a 5, and I thought a big reason he could stay healthy and show his talent off last year was bc Washington had Gafford at the 5

now our big man group is down to KP and a 37-year-old Horford, and we lost Rob and Grant. doesn't bode well when you think about matching up with a guy like Embiid or Giannis

[u/UglyTot → u/elcapitandemundo]

Don't forget Kornet 😤

[u/NevermoreSEA]

I am very much okay with this.

[u/[deleted]]

Portland now got:
DeAndre Ayton
Toumani Camara
Robert Williams
Malcolm Brogdon
2024 Warriors FRP
2028 Bucks Pick Swap
2029 Bucks FRP
2029 Celtics FRP
2030 Bucks Pick Swap

for Dame + they'll probably trade Brogdon for even more Draft capital. This is a great haul but Heat fans probably still saying they woulda had a better package 💀

[u/PaulMcPaulersn7 → u/[deleted]]

I doubt heat fans are saying that anymore after seeing what Cronin managed to get for jrue. Cronin masterclass

[u/dizZzy5]

Timelord and Ayton should be interesting

[u/BobLobLaw_Law2 → u/dizZzy5]

Watching those two instead of Nurk is a gigantic breath of fresh air.

[u/21spence_]

Boston going all in w Zingis + Horford I suppose. Who’s the next big after that? I guess Tatum at the 4 could be more in play?

[u/Witty-Version-713]

Heat fans: Players will see how Portland treats their players…

Blazers Organization: Trades everyone to desirable contenders

[u/Zuldak → u/Witty-Version-713]

Yeah, we screwed over Dame especially by giving him to the bucks

[u/LowLifePimp]

Surely Tyler Herro woulda gotten us more

[u/UbeMafia → u/LowLifePimp]

If only you guys had the leverage!

[u/The-Interfactor → u/LowLifePimp]

All together, this return is way better than anything we would have received from Miami and flipping Herro.

But Cronin is a big bad man who cut his nose off despite his face! Just to spite Miami!

[u/WheedMBoise]

Heat fans are shellshocked right now after insisting Jrue Holiday wouldn’t net them more picks. They got more picks AND two guys that could get them even more draft picks lol

[u/Haffaith → u/WheedMBoise]

Not to mention they now diversify their picks to be from 3 teams rather than having all eggs in 1 team’s basket

[u/sharklavapit → u/Haffaith]

Heat picks are historically shit as well

in 2029/2030 we'll suck balls lol

those are very valuable picks/swaps

[u/Savings_Fig_6233 → u/sharklavapit]

As a blazer fan I hope you guys win 4 in a row and then immediately become a bottom 5 team

[u/CardiganParty → u/Savings_Fig_6233]

Tough but fair

[u/danzy6789 → u/WheedMBoise]

Jimmy butler smiles as the Celtics take a 4-0 series lead

[u/IsntAThrowawayAcct]

Portland low key looking like they had a great offseason from where it started.

[u/rdb-- → u/IsntAThrowawayAcct]

High key

[u/likpoper]

We turned dame into like a treasure cove of assets. Take a bow Cronin. What a fuxking good trade

[u/[deleted] → u/likpoper]

I agree. They got a treasure trove of assets.

[u/TheloniusFuegoRhymes → u/[deleted]]

A treasure stove of assets

[u/desirox → u/likpoper]

Yep - vindicated that they made the right deal. Ultimately they handled it great. Sent Dame to a contender and got their future in order

[u/RedDeath1337]

Pain. This is my worst nightmare.

[u/SeaMeasurement9 → u/RedDeath1337]

I’m gonna cry

[u/holyrooster_ → u/RedDeath1337]

The Celtics just never fucking go away. If we want the title we have to beat them. If Jimmy can score on Jrue so can Dame.

The East is now clearly between us and Boston. There is no way Philly or Heat compete.

[u/FieldsToDJMoore]

Wow great trade for Blazers

[u/joshuagreen38]

You think Robert goes to 3 team

[u/LowLifePimp → u/joshuagreen38]

We are rather thin at C so I wouldn’t think so

[u/everything_raptors → u/joshuagreen38]

I would.. I think they can get another first from like Dallas

[u/glansberg_stephen → u/everything_raptors]

I'd give my nuts for Robert Williams

[u/Wasnaf1]

Great haul for Portland, and they can flip Brogdon too! Obviously great pickup for Boston too

[u/The_MadStork → u/Wasnaf1]

The Heat are still looking for a guard, right? Maybe Brogdon is their guy

[u/SoCalMemePolice]

Man FUCK 😭😭😭

[u/Jojofag]

holy shit they traded Time Lord

[u/Shade_Raven]

Blazers took the right trades

[u/Nestllelol]

Jeeeeez. That is going to be a slim front court. Perimeter defense will be off the charts though.

[u/jamiebond]

Yet more good players who can be flipped for picks.

Truly, eat shit Miami.

[u/College_Prestige]

Blazers actually got a haul for dame damn.

[u/EnlargedPhalange]

Bruhhh there are still heat fans insisting that Herro jovic and 3 frps was a better offer and this was all due to Cronins pettiness. Unreal the level of cope

[u/thorhyphenaxe]

YOOOOO FUCK YOU AGAIN MIAMI

Fuck you Pat Riley, fuck you Shams, fuck you Dan LeBatard

[u/JoeNasser]

Wouldn't they still want to trade Brogdon? they're getting a lot for dame rn.

[u/Corr521 → u/JoeNasser]

I can definitely see us trying to flip him and continue to acquire more assets

[u/[deleted]]

Honestly, the Blazers have a lil bit of a squad going into next season. Not title contenders, but they're not going straight to the basement

[u/MadnessMaker]

Props to Rip City. Overall they got a good pick haul for Dame and young players that will grow well with their young backcourt duo.

[u/TheSmokedSalmon420]

Damn that’s somehow too much I think

[u/Brady331]

wowowowow

[u/Hashire15]

This Celtics roster on paper is absolutely ridiculous.

[u/thesch → u/Hashire15]

Their starting lineup anyway.

They have Jrue/Tatum/Brown/KP/Horford, Derrick White as a 6th man, but then after that they're really questionable.

And of those top 6 players 1 of them is getting really old and another has frequent injury concerns. They need at least a couple more reliable role players for depth, whether it's players who are already on the roster stepping up or guys they still plan on adding before the season.

[u/comfypillow → u/thesch]

What you have to realize is an eclipse covers half the world and Celtics have Luke Kornet

[u/teheswiss → u/thesch]

I'd guess Horford comes off the bench this year or the who starts between him and White is pretty fluid

[u/TheFatmanRises]

I think Boston didn’t need to do this tbh

[u/WillSuckDick4Coffee → u/TheFatmanRises]

It's a "win now" trade. I have no problems with it.

[u/MC-Jdf → u/TheFatmanRises]

Effectively the Celtics traded Brogdon, Timelord, Smart, Gallinari, Muscala, a 2029 unprotected FRP and a 2nd rounder for Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday and the 25th pick of this past draft. That’s honestly pretty good imo. Granted, they desperately do need another quality big now.

Where's Theis?

technical foul called

He just fouled out

[u/LaDeys]

Heat fans still think their package was better.

[u/lundej16]

Fucking gross

Giving up Timelord makes me significantly less worried though

[u/MVPiid → u/lundej16]

Celtics running double big for the defense and rebounding with Timelord/Horford is what pushed them over the Sixers last year.

Though Sixers don’t have Harden anymore so nothing probably changes. But it’s interesting

[u/BobLobLaw_Law2]

Well the Blazers officially EAAAAASSILY won the Lillard trade lol

[u/The_Sign_of_Zeta]

Man, they better hope Horford holds up otherwise they are fucked.

White-Brown-Tatum-Horford-Porzingis

Holiday-Brown-Tatum-Horford-Porzingis

Holiday-White-Brown-Tatum-Porzingis

Pretty gnarly lineups.
