Jrue Returns to Milwaukee 

Post#1 » by ProcessDoctor » Fri Jul 18, 2025 11:19 pm

MIL trades: Kuzma, Green, 2031 1st (unp)

Milwaukee gets their guy back, fills their glaring need at PG

POR trades: Holiday

Portland gets yet another Milwaukee FRP

FWIW Milwaukee may need to add another minimum salary. Fanspo trade checker says it's off by $187k (but more than that amount didn't prevent the KD to HOU trade from happening).

Bucks can't give up an unprotected 31 1st for Jrue Holiday, he's too old and makes too much money. Value is way off.

Pass for POR. Kuzma is worthless. Jrue is expensive and old but he can play and a pick in 6 years doesn’t entice.

I would gladly be a third team in this.

I agree, this should be a no-go for Milwaukee

The Blazers would be crazy to turn down an unprotected 1st and that much cap space.

Hard pass. I don’t want Jrue’s current contract on our books at all, I wouldn’t give up either one of Green and sure as hell not the ‘31 1st. Kuzma’s deal is cheaper and ends a year earlier, I’d rather just eat the 2 years in this scenario.

You think Simons is worth cap relief and 2 1sts? Way too good for portland. Jrue might not be worth more than cap relief at this point with that medical and his age

No way the Bucks pay this price for Jrue.

Jrue is only pulling in 1 1st here. It is worded strange. But still too good for Portland.

2031 unprotected 1st + Green more value than Jrue at age 35
Bucks say no

Honestly, I think PDX wants to play Jrue and try to take a jump this yr, so they would say no too
but if Jrue was still in Boston, Celts do this deal easy
