Brad-Stevens
Rob is heartbreaking

Brad’s not fucking around oh my god. Gonna miss you Rob. Keeping Payton in the deal is surprising

Losing TimeLord here is huge… going to have to marinate on this one before I know how to feel.

Celtics now have a freaking all star line up from PG to C. WTF.

I’m going to really miss Rob, like a lot, but holy shit what a pickup. Also was hoping to keep the Warriors pick over ours, but it is what it is

RIP OUR BIG DEPTH

I love Rob, but he’s never healthy. This trade makes us better.
Narrow_Banana7088
I know it wasn’t a popular trade here, but I’m honestly pumped. Big jrue fan

Brad risking it all

Really banking on KP being healthy here but keeping Al is nice for Giannis/Embiid and not gutting out the bench too badly either.
MarquisJames
it reads like a lot for one player on a one year deal but is it really? Rob was so meh lately and we have no idea if Brogdon can actually shoot again.

I’m upset about Rob, but WOW

Good trade by Brad can’t count on Timelord staying healthy plus Jrue makes us so much better
thebiggestgamer
I know ppl don’t like losing Timelord but the guy is never healthy. Honestly a fair trade
justiceway1
This is fucking dreadful bro. Brad better be trading for a center soon
dague7
What do I do with my hands???
britchesss
So we need a center lol
The_Keebster
Dwight wouldn’t hurt for front court depth
chrismatic13
Soooo our lineup is
Jrue Holiday
Brown
Tatum
Horford
Porzingis
????
JesseJamesGames449
Man fuck the Clippers.. if they just took the Brogdon deal so we could get KP and keep smart we would still have Rob too
_Hi_mum_
I know I’m supposed to be happy but I can’t believe Rob is gone
jaylson
Need a bench big but I absolutely love this trade for Boston. Let’s fucking go
DittoLander
My take is that brogdon is still upset and Brad doesn’t want it to ruin the team chemistry so he wants to trade him away. Also Jrue likely wants to be here and re-sign. Brad has to part with timelord to get it done. Have really mixed feelings about this outcome
97PunkRawk
Losing Rob is unfortunate but Jrue is a fucking dog. We do need another big now. Al and Kristaps is really thin. Guess Tatum can slide up to the 4 but still…..
Cvspartan
Losing Rob definitely hurts but I think this was a net positive. Jrue’s defense is so good.

Jordan Walsh could legitimately get rotational minutes
godish
Seeing Miami fans cry, again. Is a bit of a bonus
llmean
Love jrue, hate losing Rob
Toxicyoshi7
All this for Celtics fans to relentlessly bitch about Mazulla 5 games into the season
Candid_Skill_4520
Well, didn’t see this one coming. I’m not so much disappointed with the loss of Timelord (though so damn enticing), but with him Grant and even Blake gone, there’s an extreme lack of front court depth, especially since you can’t keep expecting Al to be doing what he’s done and Kristaps and health are not a strong tandem
ramszil
Jrue already great and gonna have a chip on his shoulder against our biggest threat in the conference, love this trade
Zcorby18
What’s lost in the shuffle is Brad is addressing our biggest weaknesses from the playoffs. Brogdon was a traffic cone on defense even before his elbow. Rob can’t bang with Embid or Giannis and was average at best against Adebayo. It leaves questions but brogdon and Pritchard having to spell white minutes against Dame was a recipe for disaster
brickvanexel
What an off-season. Still would’ve preferred the universe in which Brogdon went to the clippers and we kept smart, and losing timelord stings without a doubt.
However, Timelord is basically still unrealized potential save for 2021, and he took a step back last year as a rim protector and feature in the offense. He’s simply too fragile to really be counted on. Smart is Smart, but there’s not nothing to the argument that the emotional leader of a team with a history of focus issues might need to be the odd man out.
Plus, after game 5 2022, everyone in this fanbase should know how good Jrue is. Dude is perennial all defense, and got All NBA buzz last year. He’s a secondary ball handler who can step into the lead role, and an off ball threat used to playing next to guys with substantial gravity. I’m thrilled by this

Mannnnn I fucking love Rob… hurts to see him go.
Should be an improvement for the team, tho. White/Jrue/Jay/Jay/Kristaps is a hell of a lineup. Let’s go get 18.
inlike069
As a Bucks fan, I’m going to lock away my disappointment (lol) and ignore the brutal 7 game ECF I’m hoping awaits us to offer my hand shake of solidarity in fucking over Miami. Let’s be bros for this one glorious moment, and then go to battle this season for a spot in the finals.
TheSaltySloth
Our starting 5 is insane but we have literally no center depth rn
