Pretty fair for all 3 teams, considering Dame's demands, player ages, depth, & futures. Giannis maybe not going to the Knicks for a few months longer now I guess.
Raptors still with their core that haven't been traded... back to the grind.

Bucks sweep Celtics in the playoffs, assuming the Celtics don't lose to Miami before that.

Bucks sweep Celtics in the playoffs, assuming the Celtics don't lose to Miami before that. If Giannis doen't go down, and come back being unable to make free throws, we were likely looking at a much better finals last year.

Who gets Jrue?
Celtics? Clippers? Heat? Sixers? Knicks?

Who gets Jrue? Celtics? Clippers? Heat? Sixers? Knicks? Celtics desperately need a true PG. Brogdon and White are off guards, what are they going to do, start Payton Pritchard? Celtics need to make a move fast if they want any hope of challenging for the east.

Apparently Poole said to Draymond "You're an expensive backpack for 30"

Yeah. Plus Miami didnโt want to include Herro in the trade package. No way Portland was going to let Dame go without getting Herro in the deal. Jimmy Buckets has no one to blame but his own organization. Unless he can prove flagrant tampering itโs just sour grapes on his part.

Draymond sprained his ankle in a pickup game. Doubtful for Opening day on the 24th.

www.cbssports.com/nba/news/jrue-holiday-trade-grades-celtics-bolster-backcourt-while-blazers-get-an-a-for-loading-up-on-assets-in-deal/amp/Celtics trade Rob Williams and Malcolm Brogdon for Jrue Holiday. Not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, the Celtics get something they really need in an experienced and championship winning Point Guard. However, I think losing Rob Williams is gonna hurt. The guy is a great player. He did so much offensively and defensively. Anytime he got near the net you knew he was either gonna block a shot or dunk. I think the Celtics are gonna miss that. Also, with the addition of Holiday and sticking with Al Horford over Williams (and losing Grant Williams and Smart) I feel like the Celtics have lost a lot of youth. All the sudden they feel like an older team. Their youth always gave them an edge. Thereโs also some questions now about their bench. I hope this ends up being a good trade as a Celtics fan, but I have my concerns.

I hope this ends up being a good trade as a Celtics fan, but I have my concerns. It makes sense, though I also have my concerns. With Brogdon gone, where does the bench scoring come from? I think they'll miss Rob's interior presence too, but honestly the dude was injured so often, it's tough to say losing him via trade is a devastating blow for their fortunes. At the end of the day, they addressed an area of need, but potentially opened up other holes in the roster construction that will be difficult to fill this late in the game. I don't think Tatum and Brown have what it takes to win anyway, so in the big picture it probably doesn't matter. When you're a max player getting blown off the court by Caleb Martin and Max Strus, it really doesn't matter who your supporting cast is.

Giannis-Dame is giving me Hakeem-Drexler vibes... not least the former had already won & was pairing up for another.

Jrue is up there with the most annoying names. I mean, Jrue? It's like Johnathan or Jayden. Do parents know how to spell these names or did they just try and guess when filling in paperwork?

"My mom and my momโs sister were on a kick with J names โฆ my cousins names are Jessica, Jenna, Jade, Jaelyn and James. My oldest brother is Justin and my name is Jrue (my mom liked the name Dru, but wanted to figure out how to keep with the J theme). After me though, that kinda ended, because my sister is Lauren and brother is Aaron."
