KD and Beal are well on the downward slopes of their careers and not sure they have it anymore to bring home the bacon.

Then again they'll probably throw like 60+ mill at him to do it so it's a no-brainer.

Ishbia will pay him a mint. He’ll get generational wealth for the whole family. And his parents live in Arizona.

Genuinely strange seeing Jrue be a complete non-factor on offense. He was bad at times on offense for us, but he at least had his moments. He’s being relegated to sub-Pritchard shot attempts in Boston.

Levert calling his own number has gotta be disgusting to watch if the cavs are your main team.

It’s hard enough to watch from here.

They saw the shooting numbers in person, '22 ECSF.

But it is a little weird. Yeah.

*Also weird, I want to root for Jrue. But not the Celtics.

This is kinda like the game Miami won where they can't miss and Boston has an off night.

This is a glorious game. Horford never would have been called for that over the back during the 2022 series with us.

I can't say I'm surprised.

Boston paid Jrue so much money only for him to have no role on offense and have the opposing team's best player go off. bUT dAmE's dEfEnCe.

LOL. And somehow Cle has a top 5ish D with two offense first, undersized crappy D guards.

Yea Boston is most likely going to beat them by double digits the next 3 games but I still enjoy every loss if theirs. It’s just how their offense goes when they can’t hit shots but they hit shots most of the time.

C's fans floating early, ya love to see it

I'm happy Jrue's still doing the little things, while also struggling to score the ball. You'd hate to see him suddenly find that ability w/ another team (let alone rival), but I'm averse to rooting against him cuz he's a nice guy. We warned Celts' fans btw.

I legit just did the "Jack from the Shining smiling through an axed door," upon seeing the Cleveland/Boston score without thinking.

Giannis has had 5. Could be 6 after next year. And that is with him being on the same team.

Would the Cs move him if they exit, in this series?

What about Budenholzer getting him back in Phoenix? A deal centered around Jrue for Beal?

Roddy, Beal, D Lee for Jrue/Hordord/Pritchard works financially.

2013-2024. 11 years. Bud had 5 years.

& Giannis unlike KD/Bron didn't run to the GM to have him axed, nor Kidd.

Different cycles entirely.

That strikes me as bad for both teams, because Jrue's contract sucks, while Beal's going to hurt the Cs team O & D.

I don't think the Suns are a team that would have a deal for Jrue. Maybe to the Warriors in a deal involving CP or Wiggins.
