Jrue was **** awesome. Hope he doesn't stick in Portland and finds his way to a team that could really maximize him in his waning years.

Read on Twitter

Blazers won't trade with the Lakers but the Clippers are another thing. Jrue goes home. He looked like he knew he was outta here in the photos from the golf outing. Not so much this pic but the others.

See the hat. Wonder if he had a lead he could be going to LA or Phoenix in another scenario.

Plus the Valley-Oop.

He will always be remembered as the missing piece that brought Milwaukee our first championship in 50 years. Only 3 years with us but already a Bucks legend. Will miss him like crazy

Jrue Holiday. Bucks Legend. Respect to his name.

He'd be so much better for the Clippers than Harden too.

I’d say he’d circle the date for his first game against us so he can lock up Dame, but the dude is such a pro you know he circles every day on his calendar ‘cause he’s going to go out there and lock up anyone you put in front of him.

Loved getting to watch him as a Buck, hope everything works out well for him- how soon can we get him back on the roster?

A Buck for life. A true legend on and off the court.

I’ll never forget how amazing it was to see him in his first few games after we traded for him. Compared to Bledsoe, he was so calm, composed, and cool. He almost glided around the court and played beautiful, almost effortless basketball. He is the best defender I’ve ever seen in a Bucks jersey, and one of the best people to ever play for the Bucks.

Thanks for the championship Jrue. We love you in Milwaukee!

I'm not sure if Jrue will be a HoFer, though he will always be in mine. Home run of a person, just an absolutely tenacious defender, and I was proud to get a piece of laundry with his name on it. I try not to get too attached to players because I like the Bucks above all, but I will still always hope for success for Jrue and Lauren, even if it might come at the expense of the Bucks. Love the dude.

The thought crossed my mind but it would be quite wild. That said, can't imagine what the angle would be for Jrue.

Cause he genuinely loves the Bucks and wants us to win championships? And this leaves open the possibility of Jrue coming back in the future on a shorter contract? God I hope that’s the case.

Jrue is forever a legend to me. Without him and some of his most iconic plays/games we never are a championship team. Him and Middleton taking over against Atlanta when Giannis snapped his leg will forever be one of the most shocking things. I thought we were dead in the water

When is his contract set to expire?

I hope he stays in the WC when Portland flips him.

He can opt out next summer.

His Agent had to be like dude please stop talking about retiring. Why even bring it up?

Think we lost a massive piece of our team, but agree this deal needed to be done.

I'd like to see him stay in Portland. They'll be a great league pass team to watch this year.

Jrue to Miami would be a tough pill to swallow and a good counter to Lillard’s acquisition, hope he stays in the WC. I def think there connection between that article saying Jrue was retiring and getting traded, that was the main tripping point a lot of people had about trading for him.

Perishable517 · Post #59 » by **Perishable517** » Wed Sep 27, 2023 10:21 pm

He has become a favorite player of mine. A good human being and definately was a key in our first chip with Giannis.

I would love to see him stay with Portland. I know it won't happen.

The reason they couldn't get a trade done for Dame would seem to still be relevant for a Jrue trade
