Simons is not good. 10-15 seconds of iso anytime he touches the ball while everyone else stands around then zero defense. Blazers just got better 👏🏽 👏🏽
Well, Simon’s would be good as an instant offense guy off the bench, which is a role o am sure the Celtics will put him in. He was never going to accept that role at Portland.
The whole world knew that the Celtics have to move multiple players, so nobody is going to offer them proper value back. It's pretty amazing that they got any useful things in return for Holiday.
I think Jrue is better than ant. He won’t be here long either way. Scoot and Shae are not ready to compete for a title. Jrue can mentor them better than Ant who pretty obviously just viewed them as rivals.
I kinda understand it but I still think we got fleeced. Our team identity is very defensive and he is gonna be able to help mentor scoot and shae, but still def coulda got some firsts or maybe a Derek white instead 😭

The deal, which will save Boston about $4.7 million in salary next season, will also clear significant future salary off the Celtics’ books.

But it will be interesting to see if Portland keeps him this time.
