    Pretty massive package for Jrue. Timelord and Brogdon have solid value alone.

    Said it in the other thread but Celtics have to be heavy East probably overall favorites.

    Time Lord is always hurt when it counts. I'm not sure his value is high among contenders.

    And Celtics probably had already burned the bridge with Brogdon.

    Wonder how Blazers handle Williams/Ayton. They can trade Williams for more, but do they decide to keep him in their rebuild. Rockets would probably be a team very interested

    Boston will miss Williams but Jrue is rhe best defensive pg in the league and will complement Tatum/Brown. Wonder how they fill in the gap at Center now

    I have Bucks but Boston is a top 4 contender for me this year, maybe even 2nd...

    Because of Jrue Holiday? He’s awful offensively in the playoffs

    Rockets need to go after Williams! Portland has Ayton, no need for Ayton and Williams

    I wonder that too about the Blazers. Ayton and Time Lord are both 25 and under contract for a while.

    Not only did the Trail Blazers end up with a ton of draft capital, their lineup is pretty set.

    PG: Scoot
    SG: Simons
    SF: Sharpe
    PF: Grant
    C: Ayton / Time Lord

    They may trade Grant later, but maybe they don't. They are pretty well setup for a while.

    For sure. He has been awful on that side of the ball. But both Williams and Brogdon are guys I don't feel super comfortable betting on because of their injury history. I feel better about Jrue being there.

    Plus, I'm not sure if Jrue will even start. Boston loves Derrick White. So if Jrue is shooting poorly it won't be as damaging to the Celtics overall as it was to the Bucks, IMO.

    Mazzulla might get fired sooner than later. Ime Udoka wished he never had secks in the first place.
