ATL - Kawhi salary cap circumvention

What the hell is that? Why would the Blazers be bailing the Celtics out of that contact and be the ones giving up draft capital???

Simons wasn't a good fit with the guys Portland is building around but damn, what a bummer to see Boston get out of the Jrue deal with a potential upgrade and get paid to do it.

Blazers are really going to flip Jrue back to Milwaukee for Dame

Dame and pat for grant and jrue

Insane trade from Blazers perspective

What the **** is that? Absolute garbage…we could’ve given them Kuz and given some 2nds to THEM

Dame/Kuzma/Pat for Grant/Jrue/Rob/Pick swap rights returned
They get their guy back, we get ours back, we take on Grants money and get extra draft capital to play with

Genuinely what the **** are the Blazers doing here? How do the Celtics get so lucky with **** like this?

Between this and the Luka to LAL trade, I’ve never been more convinced the NBA was rigged.

This is nonsensical

I don't EVER want to read JROY call a trade proposal bad or unrealistic again

What the hell? I'd laugh at how dumb this is if it wasn't the **** Celtics.

midranger · Post #533 » by **midranger** » Tue Jun 24, 2025 4:05 am

It should’ve taken Boston 2-3 firsts to get off that contract for a useful expiring. They ended up getting 2 seconds?

**** nuts.

JROY is the rake for Portland sports. And, perhaps, the city at large.

They’ll probably let simons walk or maybe take him back on a lighter deal if he plays well bc that’s all they can really afford. Annoying how easy they got off that Jrue deal without giving up any sweeteners.

Portland is going to be scary on defense next year. If Portland was smart they'll try to get Ayton for Reaves and filler.

BroncoBuck · Post #537 » by **BroncoBuck** » Tue Jun 24, 2025 4:09 am

Simons is a chucker, but an expiring for that Jrue contract is a no brainer. Wow.

And hell no to Jrue back here on that contract.

midranger · Post #538 » by **midranger** » Tue Jun 24, 2025 4:14 am

Yeah, that contract is ugly. I’d rather take a chance on Dame rehabbing well for the playoffs and/or expiring after next year, rather than taking the hope that Jrue turns back the hands of time for 3 straight years

He almost had me up until his last sentence.

So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

Anyone who speaks in the third person can **** right off.

This is why guys like the clown Portland fan who always appears on here to tell us our trade proposals are trash, are so tiresome. The NBA is weird, and stuff happens that baffles us all.
