Trade Blazers trade Simons for Holiday

There's no deadline.

Well, I guess like beginning of the season. But teams can agree, it can get leaked, but they can still negotiate on timing. Because of Boston's tax issues, I imagine the holdup is on their end, trying to align transactions to give them the best benefit.

 

Jrue has been listed on their machine since the day of the trade report. That’s not new.

 

I still wouldn’t be surprised to see him flipped as part of a larger deal. Probably not, but I think a lot depends on if he wants to be here or has his heart set on playing for a contender.

 

Jrue said he would retire before playing anywhere else when he was in Milwaukee. I think he's very family oriented, just speculating, and not wanting to bounce them around. But he was traded from there to Boston. He didn't retire. He signed a new contract. He'll be a pro, and love it here, and maybe he decides like many ex-blazers, the PNW is where he wants to retire

 

Is the porzingis deal final? Likely just Boston taking time to file trade papers.

 

There is another reason maybe we have not heard anything ... it's a holiday weekend so good chance we will see the trade finalized tomorrow.

 

Yeah... but all of the other reported trades that were supposed to finalize today did... except the other Boston trade. I don't think that it's just filing the paperwork either, both our front office and Boston's are extremely professional. It's either something that we're not seeing like @RR7 said, a benefit for tax purposes that really I don't see since the new league year is here and the next significant date for taxes is a year away... or other teams are getting involved.

I bet we see a bigger version of what has been reported. I'm not saying anything different for us necessarily but probably more pieces than have been reported so far getting moved.

 

There’s also the report that Boston wanted to move Simons.

 

Yeah, reports of Jrue not wanting to be here and reports of them wanting to move Ant... so I guess there are plenty of reasons it could be held up. Not getting my hopes up that it means better things for us.

 

Maybe Cronin is LDS?

 

Or on LSD?

 

Not every deal has been announced most yes but not all -- Boston's deals have not so before speaking know the facts or look silly

 

"After learning of Holiday's unenthusiasm joining the Trailblazers and with Boston realizing they overestimated Simon's value, the Celtics and Trailblazers mutually decided not to go through with the trade initially agreed upon, sources close to the situation reports." jk

 

Is this a joke?

 

pretty sure jk is j/k which is just kidding...

 

Who exactly is JK

 

That's pretty trollish.

 

it's quiet.....too quiet!!

 

The trade has been reduced to a straight player swap. No picks going out on our end.
