    Blazers fans on BR seem to love the trade.

    On Twitter its a bunch of people thinking the Blazers brought in Jrue to cheer on Scoot, who will be playing 38mpg. They are going to be in for a rude awakening.

    They take in more salary than they send out. Therefore they are hard capped at the second apron.

    Doubt that the Blazers go into the tax - so it's a non issue

    Well I just figured out the KAT thing wasn't a rumor anyway. It was from an article that was citing one of those Bleacher Report trade ideas that has no more relevance than any trade idea people come up with in here.

    I'm thinking these are the potential teams that would be interested in Holiday. Any interesting assets we could get back?

    Dallas
    Houston
    Miami
    Milwaukee
    Minnesota
    Phoenix
    Sacramento

    You’re gonna lose….. the team will be moved to Seattle this summer and Jrue will wear a Sonics jersey.

    The Blazers moving Seattle might actually be more likely than Jrue not starting!

    Are you telling me that Chauncey Billups will favor an aging veteran with a massive contract over a young player who needs minutes to improve? Is that what you’re trying to say?!?!

    That... and Billups would rather win games now than build for the next coach (after the new ownership group fires him), so he's going to play the better player.

    I promise you a washed up Jrue who fell off a cliff this past year on Boston will not start on a young team prioritizing development lol

    I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or what but I don't think anyone trades two second round picks and a guy with 27M left on his deal for a guy with 104M left on his deal and two extra years, to sit the bench and help guys develop, coaches don't make 30-40M. Whether it makes sense or not if Jrue is on this team when the season starts, he's here for the purpose of us winning more games than we would have with Ant.

    Did Ant come off the bench when he played? No, he always started when he was in uniform. So my guess is regardless of what this does for Scoot's game, Jrue is either getting flipped to another team and the reports that we're keeping him are to drive up his value or that dude is starting every game he's in uniform.
