Trade Blazers trade Simons for Holiday

don't let Jrue and Timelord within 50 feet of each other

 

You definitely should have. I agree with your sarcasm.

 

Are we going to hear anything about this trade tomorrow?

 

probably....haven't heard anything about it being amended

 

I see one trade listed officially today on NBA.com so maybe this will be listed today as well.

Can't imagine anything else is included. If we were to take on Hauser into our MLE or such it would give Boston a bigger trade exception to roll it into one huge trade. But there would be no advantage from the Blazers end to have that merged with the Ant trade or as two separate deals.

why are other trades listed and not jrue-ant, im starting to think jrue's lack of enthusiasm to join us made us hit the cancel button

 

I think the trade is a done deal. Now what will be interesting is to see if the team holds a presser in the next little bit. If not, I would bet that we'll flip Jrue.

I do agree that it's interesting that we heard this trade reported and haven't heard much else sense then. Maybe the delay is just us getting the third team involved in the trade before it's finalized for some reason.

 

this is a clean deal that should have been already official. there was no 3rd team involved. something we don't know is going on

 

it could just be that a dozen or more teams that have agreed to trades or free agent signings are working to see if there is any advantage to restructuring those deals. Could be a whole lot of multi-phone negotiations going on

 

Right... so maybe they're amending it to include a third team but I would be shocked if we "hit the cancel button" because I've never heard of that. No way do we want Ant back after having traded him and the Celtics want that cap savings.

 

maybe jrue failed physical or something. i guess we shall find out soon enough

 

Maybe Jrue is telling his agent he doesn’t want to be in Portland.

 

Maybe they are giving us Jaylen Brown instead of Jrue now.

 

Maybe we're keeping Ant and trading Scoot to bring together Dame's superfriends.

 

A lot more deals are officially now including Cam Whitmore deal agreed to yesterday.

I do think even if it becomes official blazorkor is right that Cronin introducing him will mean much less likely he is flipped .... But if that intro is delayed maybe we're exploring options.

I do wonder if Dame cut is potentially throwing regrets into a 3 year Jrue commitment.

 

I think Cronin would rather have Jrue than Dame.

 

You may be right.

But it would be quite a haul to have Two unprotected swaps, two unprotected picks, Camara, and Deni all from the Dame trade. Plus also have Dame.

 

He's not alone, to be honest.

 

wondering if sam hauser is being worked into the deal?

we can absorb him into a portion of the MLE... and he's not exactly a downgrade to Kispert.
