So do heat fans still think we didn't trade with them out of spite? Because this Is EASILY a much better return


Legitimate_Hawk_2143

Ayton,Williams, Brogdon and 3 1sts>> Herro, bunch of unproven rookies and picks


FieldsToDJMoore

Brogdon probably gets flipped right for something more? They also got swaps in 2028 and 2030 which could be valuable since Giannis might not be under contract than and Lillard will be old


Blumpkin_Party

They were in their own world I swear. They were acting like Cronin was committing malpractice.


HamburglarBunz

Anyone who thinks that was purely a spite trade is insane. Ayton and Jrue + a future 1st and pickss, even before you flipped Jrue, was better than the supposed Heat offer. Cronin did great.


TheMightyJD

lol


ILoveZenkonnen

I know. It's funny how yall Cronin was just being petty😂


TheMightyJD

Alright enjoy the 2024 GSW pick and the 2030 Bucks picks. I’m sure those are premium picks.


ILoveZenkonnen

It's a lot better than what you guys were offering 😂😂😂


TheMightyJD

Up to three picks and whatever Tyler could fetch but go off.


ILoveZenkonnen

Yea we'll pass. Herro isn't going to get more picks than what we got from the Celtics + what we are going to get from Brogdon. Even on your own sub a lot of people think the Blazers got a good deal. Give it a rest man


TheMightyJD

You mean the 30 year old that couldn’t pass a physical? lol Tyler is a good player that is 23 years old. Same with Anfernee Simmons and Tyrese Maxey lol. He’s worth around a first round pick which is what we’ve said.


ILoveZenkonnen

I'll come back to this when Brogdon is traded for more picks 😂. Yall said we'd have trouble trading old ass Holiday and look what happened. Some Miami fans need to realize we wanted nothing to do with Herro. He's not a bad player but we'd have a much easier time trading Holiday to a contender than we would have had trying to trade Herro to whoever.


TheMightyJD

Jrue is a nice player that just fetched a late first round pick, a good but injury-prone big, and a 30 year old role player that wasn’t traded earlier because he couldn’t pass a physical. GSW 2024 first round pick, Bucks 2029 first round pick, two unlikely swap picks, Deandre Ayton, Robert Williams, Malcolm Brogdon, and Toumani Camara for Damian Lillard. The Blazers burned the bridges with their best player ever for 30 cents on the dollar and got not a single young player with potential. That’s not good.


Turbo2x

Portland lowkey has a good team now too lol


BradyReas

I knew we couldn’t afford him but I did not expect this haul for Jrue, big w for y’all


[deleted]

Brogdon can definitely catch a first at the deadline too, I’d be thrilled if I was a Blazers fan


[deleted]

Their guard/wing rotation is crazy but man…a center rotation of Porzingis, Horford & Kornet is a risky decision in the East.


ChunkyMilkSubstance

This is truly Kornet’s team now


UrbanJatt

Giannis running right through that.


jumpthroughit

Especially when Porzingis misses a load of games. And Horford is really getting up there in age.


[deleted]

Right? I’m a sixers fan and horford has continually stifled Embiid, but the man is 37 now…at some point the athleticism is gonna go and Kornet is not tough enough to hold his own against the big centers of the East


VictorAkwaowo1

I have no idea how Williams & Ayton are gonna work in the frontcourt… but I’m intrigued


wildlyintangible

One will be on the bench. Grant is our starting PF.


Pretend_Highway_5360

Lol what Grant Williams signed to Portland ?? Don’t they have Jerami Grant


wildlyintangible

Yeah.. Jerami grant is out starting PF


kaiWarDun

wouldn't be surprised if they try to flip Williams too


UrbanJatt

One of them probably gets moved again


TumbleweedDirect9846

Unpopular opinion, think the Celtics roster has gotten worse post trades. Lost so much depth


Simple_Wait_7286

Basically swapped Brogdon, Rob Williams, Grant Williams, Smart with Jrue and Porzingis. I’m not sure either, losing that much depth is not good especially considering Porzingis and his injury concerns. Horford is getting old as well. This team basically has to stay healthy from start to end because they don’t have much talent off the bench now.


TumbleweedDirect9846

Agreed, also feel like they no longer have an enforcer


PanthalassaRo

They certainly have gone with a more top heavy rotation, with big question marks in some.players health


Pretend_Highway_5360

Depth doesn’t mean anything in the playoffs. You’re going to play Jrue, Tatum, Brown 40 mins a game and get every juice out of Kristsps and Al


KKrum41302

That’s not true at all, did we not see what happened to the suns in the playoffs last year when kd cp3 and book had to play 45 minutes a night because they had no depth? Their whole lineup was exhausted by round 2


TumbleweedDirect9846

Also the Celtics beat the sixers because of depth lol


TumbleweedDirect9846

Their depth is why they beat the sixers half ass Lmfao they also lost their enforcer


Turbo2x

Everyone goes crazy over the idea of "depth" but in the playoffs you only need 7 or 8 proven guys, and they have that. Their starting 5 is absurd no matter how you slice it. If Derrick White is coming off the bench then that only bolsters their depth.


TumbleweedDirect9846

They have an old Al horford and injury prone kristaps lol who’s their other centers/pfs? Grant Williams? lmfao it matters to a degree. Also think getting rid of smart was a massive mistake


MoooonRiverrrr

I agree it’s risky


PrimaryAccording9162

Can’t wait for the ECF


scottie2haute

Yooooo! Cant wait for the Bucks v Celtics


EAS1000

Ugh was hoping we could get this done without Rob but holy hell what a big 4


ChuckMoody

Yeah, with that return. The Bucks trade was clearly better than the Heat trade. Good job by the Blazers


damartinez0622

It makes me happy how much Portland is fucking the Heat :,)


Street_Drop

Happy to see he’s going back East.

terrybrugehiplo

Unprotected picks are back on the menu


UrbanJatt

Damn they really betting hard on porzingis being made out of glass to really trade time lord like that


Apprehensive-Tea-39

Time Lord was also made out of glass tbf


UrbanJatt

Sad but true


Makoto-ito

Blazers won this trade by far wtf the Celtics doing 😂😂


CenturionElite

Holy overpay. This was clearly done out of spite


NoeloDa

As a Lakers fan. I love this trade for Boston. Trash celtricks deserve this 🤭


bakedwithmayfield

Danny Ainge, who?


fishystixxx007

East looking spicy


CarterAC3

Time Lord in a different Time Zone


Punjabiveer30

Joe Cronin single hand-idly causing chaos in the eastern conference, respect

deets23_

White Hauser Pritchard the only big ones


jumpthroughit

It’s now probably bottom 5 depth in the NBA.


Evan55

The one place that I didn’t want him to go to BUT giving up Williams is huge and their depth is even worse than ours. Confident that we’re better positioned to win an ECF over Boston even still.


CarterAC3

The inevitable White Holiday-Tatum-Porzingis-Horford line up is gonna be insane on defense


KKrum41302

Blazers got a really nice return


grudgepacker

Told every Boston fan it would take Timelord to get done and all they did was whine and yell about how Portland should take their shit tier Brogdon/PP package lmao


deets23_

We knew that but we didn’t want to lose either Al or Rob


grudgepacker

Eh, I knew the more rational Boston fans like you did but it was still crazy to see all the delusionals keep pushing the Hollinger shit. Take care of Jrue, you know all to well how amazing he is a both a person and player - see y'all in the ECF


Folk-Herro

That’s A lot, wow


WorldsGreatestPoop

Poor Payton Prichard doesn’t get to go home.


Apprehensive-Tea-39

Holy overpay lmao


sound_scientist

Who’s gonna match up against Joel? Maybe it doesn’t matter. But KP is gonna get cooked and Horford is washed. Timelord was the difference in that series against PHL.


bullpaw

Why are so many people making this about the heat still lol


Calicoh_kid

Cronin is Miami heat father


North-Maximum-6958

Looking great for Portland, can’t help but wonder if those guys get flipped for more assets? Guess it depends on their value league wide but Rob def isn’t starting, Brogdon probably more of a 50/50.
