Jrue Holiday trade ideas

Timberwolves need a PG upgrade. Any young Sota players on Blazers radar?
 
Would you trade Jrue to Minnesota for KAT? The salaries match perfectly, and it gets them out of a massive contract. Also gives them a real PG and solidifies roles. Lets Edwards be the real star, and makes the Gobert fit better. I assume they'd get commitment from Jrue to re sign.

If KAT doesn't work in Portland you probably could still flip him for value. Our twin towers of Ayton and KAT might fit a little better as Ayton has more offensive game.

I guess it's probably too risky and crazy for both sides....but it's interesting to think about.

KAT and Gobert didn’t work, I can say with 99.8% certainty KAT and Ayton won’t work.

We’re trying to field a team together, not play real life 2k.
 
Was listening to the Windhorst pod and got too hyped.

They called the market for Holiday, "fervent." And that the bidding war has already begun with a deadline of Sunday.

They joked that no less than 20 teams would make an offer for Jrue. If we don't extract at least two good picks out of this, it would be a major disappointment for me after all this hype.

Multiple national media people brought up this idea. I don't think we are interested due to his contract.
 
How do we feel about Kuminga? Sounds like he and Chris Paul can be sacrificed along with additional pieces for Holiday.
I'd love Kuminga but would also want additional draft compensation for eating Paul's contract.

Reminds me of trading Strickland for Rasheed Wallace, which worked out really well. We need a PF to put next to Grant, so Sharpe can play SG. We'd have 4/5ths of a young core after this move.

How fun is this! Ya think teams would be "fervent" and pounding the door for Herro?
 
Joe Cronin should call up Pat Riley, and be like "You want Jrue Holiday, you can't have him....do you feel like crying? It's ok...."

What makes Pat Riley a great GM is he doesn’t usually over pay. He set his limit and wouldn’t budge hard for me to be pissed and vengeful to him. Now the fans I can see that lol
 
Why? His trade value will never be higher than it is now.
First you don't know that.
The idea has more to do with him going where they need him. I also don't have a problem with Scoot working with Jrue for the next few months. Think it could help him.
I certainly have no problem with Joe doing his job and looking at all offers available now.

He has a yr left on his deal followed by a player option. If we wait, teams could be potentially renting him for half a season. No way they offer more then vs now. Jrue's entire appeal to us is in his trade value. I'm not willing to affect that value with waiting and risking injury. Whatever insight Scoot can gain from Holiday, he can get from Chauncey.

Your math seems a little off? Also I said trade deadline. I guess i should have said This seasons trade deadline. He ain't walking away from $37 million so any team that gets him will have him for the remainder of this season and next. He isn't the kind of player to sit out and sulk.
Then there are the suiters? It's murky right now? I can promise it will be much less murky in a couple months.

Now here is something that supports trading him soon. What if he gets injured? That would destroy his trade value. So yeah if they get a decent offer soon I'm good with them taking it for sure.
 
With the way Miami is trying to save face and throw Joe under the bus, I don’t think we will be sending Jrue to Miami.

The funniest thing is, Miamis offer wasn't the best AND they talked shit about the Blazers AND their star player is trying to imply tampering (tho you could argue Damians agent did far more tampering than the Blazers could've done).

Even if Jimmy is being sarcastic, there are enough idiot fans out there who believe everything they're told and are allergic to doing any kind of research (or the ability to offer up any kind of mea culpa), so it's doing damage.

So if I'm Portland, I wouldn't even call them back. And what's funny? Miami is acting like they're owed a call back or a return offer from Portland *just* because Damian wanted to go there.

Their assets, at least that they were willing to trade for, were mediocre. Even the supposed "we can trade Herro for a 1st!" line is malarkey. The pick he's worth might as well be a 2nd round pick.
 
I saw an idea I think on ESPN that said Brogdon, Horford and picks sighting that the Celtics have all of their picks. If we could get that deal and the picks were the better of their pick and the Warriors pick in the upcoming draft (no protection besides the Warriors existing 1-4) and a future first 2029 or 30. Then if we could flip Brogdon to a team in need of guard depth for expirings and one more FRP or good forward prospect, then we would be set.

Frankly, I don't like Boston. Their picks aren't going to be worth that much.

Tatum is 25
Brown is 26

They're not going to be bad for a while. In 2028 Tatum will be 30 :lol:

I have enough faith in Cronin that he wouldn't let that shit bother him. I don't have faith that Miami have enough assets to interest us.
 


Woj is saying LAC, Philly, Celtics

Woj used my "arms race" phrase!
 
I personally really want to trade Jrue to Miami for their same shitty deal so that we can laugh at Heat fans that we still got their assets but Dame ended up in Milwaukee.
You mean Jrue for Herro and 2 FRPs then we swing Herro to a 3rd team and get 1 FRP and 1 swap?
