Trade Blazers trade Simons for Holiday

[THE HCP]

Wow

 

[THE HCP]

 

[THE HCP]

 

[Strenuus]

Good.

Fucking.

Riddance.

 

[Freshtown]

The blazers gave up the seconds? Is that a joke?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

But why?

 

[HailBlazers]

So happy for Ant, awesome destination.

 

[RR7]

Well that sucks

 

[THE HCP]

Just to get rid of him? If we are going young….. he is in his way out of town. If they are running it back with what we got….. he would be OUTSTANDING next to Shae!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Shocking

 

[BigGameDamian]

Does Holiday make sense though?

 

[Freshtown]

Every reply to this is making fun of Joe. Assumption from Celtics fans was they’d have to attach compensation to get off the massive holiday contract.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Jrue will be a good vet to train up our guards and wings on defense. He's a winner as a player. Really happy Ant gets to go to a team that's in the hunt. He deserves that.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Does Holiday make sense though?

I think so; he's a vet who will accept a supporting role, and can play defense. I like it.

 

[GoZers]

Good.

Fucking.

Riddance.

Jeez

 

[Strenuus]

Jeez

What did he do for this team?

Exactly. Wasted our time. Next.

 

[Tortimer]

The only problem I can see we still probably have Holiday starting over Scoot. I just wanted to see Scoot start and see if he is going to be the guy going forward. I can’t see the Blazers not starting Holiday.

 

[GoZers]

What did he do for this team?

Exactly. Wasted our time. Next.

Such an angry elf

 

[TBpup]

We had to pay to get off Ant?

 

[BigGameDamian]

I don’t think the Blazers are done by any means.

 

[julius]

Confused as to why Portland had to include picks, considering Simons is younger, has an expiring contract and isn't *owed* 104 million.

There has to be another destination for Jru.

 

[THE HCP]

Good.

Fucking.

Riddance.

I have a feeling you’re gonna miss his ability to take over games and score buckets a few times this season

 

[THE HCP]

 

[THE HCP]

 

[Cugel]

Good for Ant. Happy for him actually. I don’t get the hate. Hope he does well.

 

[THE HCP]

 

[Freshtown]

Knowing Joe Cronins delusions he prob thinks this is a good vet to help scoot or some shit.

Which, sure, but go get Chris Paul to do that.

why take on that horrible holiday contract?

makes no sense. Portland making “let’s compete now” moves like this is depressing and delusional.

 

[THE HCP]

Are we now one of the best defensive teams in the league? Oh how times have changed

 

[e_blazer]

Hmm, why am I thinking Jrue ends up back in Milwaukee by the time the offseason is finished?

 

[BIG Q]

Might as well trade Scoot if the plan is to turn it over to Jrue. Seems ridiculous to me. I'd much prefer letting Ant walk and keep the picks and not have to pay another massive contract.
