More Moves COMING… SHOCKING Details Revealed on Jrue Trade | Boston Celtics News
more moves are imminent for the Boston Celtics and following an absolute robbery of a trade that Brad Stevens managed to pull off for Drew Holiday new reports have dropped revealing that not only are more moves on the horizon but another robbery is in the works so to break down exactly what that trade is and discuss what this means going forward as something huge is brewing but before we get into it all if you’re a part of the percentage who aren’t subscribed to the channel this is the place to be for daily Celtics content make sure to hit that subscribe button keep you up to date with all the latest news folks let’s not waste any more time craziness is happening and blowing up and late last night the Celtics managed to pull off their first of many big trades of the off seasonason by trading of course Drew Holiday to the Blazers for I mean for Anthony Simons and did the Celtics got draft capital back but I’ll digress for a little bit bruce covered that last night shams made a follow-up tweet revealing some big information here an extremely active offseason begins for the Celtics with the trade of Drew Holiday who played a critical role in Boston’s 2024 NBA championship the Celtics remain engaged in trade talks surrounding multiple key players on the roster sources said so folks huge moves are on the horizon here and they are going to be happening sooner rather than later shams confirms this we have multiple other reports to dive into including another trade update surrounding Christophs but let’s digress a little bit here and discuss i mean the the first domino to fall was always going to be Drew Holiday i said it on the channel multiple times in the videos over the past week that Holiday makes the most sense to get rid of first and you know he had the most salary now with the way that the Celtics currently look after that Drew Holiday trade they need to make another move to get under the luxury tax they didn’t do that with this Drew Holiday trade they basically just got an interesting fit in Anthony Simons who is on and expiring and you got draft capital back for Drew Holiday which I’m sure you know Brad Stevens was licking his chops at the thought of that probably didn’t even think that was remotely possible i sure didn’t we were discussing on the channel about how any trade involving Drew Holiday Shams and everyone was saying it was going to require the Celtics to give up draft capital and no folks that wasn’t the case an absolute just robbery here but more moves are on the horizon and again here’s the you know some interesting salary cap stuff from Kevin Oconor huge upgrade for Portland of course doesn’t really matter simons has too much overlap with the other guards plus he’s an expiring the Celtics only cut $4.7 million in salary so more moves are coming to get under the second apron but I’m bullish on Simons in the Missoula system and I mean seeing what Joe Mazula can do here with Anthony Simons is kind of an underrated aspect of this and we’ll have another video covering that later a big part of this trade is they cut $4.7 million in salary now you pair that with JHS coming out and saying that more moves are imminent kristoffs has to be you know gone at this point like there’s no doubt about it i think almost surely at this moment Kristoffs is actively being shopped and this has been confirmed by Brett Seagull here boston has been actively talking with several teams around the league about moving Kristoffs Porzingis so Porzingis got to be the next domino to follow but folks I genuinely think at this point more moves are going to be coming and I honestly think now that the way that the you know the Celtics were managed to finesse this trade like you’re getting draft capital back for Drew Holiday they might seriously consider at this point trading Jaylen Brown now it sounds crazy i had a video covering it yesterday feel free to check that one out after this one is fully done it’s an interesting scenario because players are getting traded for a lot desmond Bane got four unprotected first in a swap you look at you know other guys around the league they seemingly are going to be you netting you a lot the fact that you got positive value for Drew Holiday not only do you get two second round picks folks two second round picks which I have faith in the Bos in Boston you know hitting the second round picks you get a guard that is cheaper than Drew Holiday has potential and is younger to fit in the Joe Mazoula system and is also an expiring like it is a winwinwin you aren’t just getting a bum back for Drew Holidayiday you have to give up a first- round pick to dump the contract you’re getting an asset that in a wide open Eastern Conference you could actually compete now there’s two sides of it that you either can trade Jaylen Brown and really take advantage of the you know amount of money that or amount of asset that people are paying for you know players or you could go on the flip side of it and say “Hey the East is wide open and let’s go for it.” Because Boston is now $18 million over the second apron portland is $6.6 million under the luxury tax blazers will incur first hard apron hard cap because they are taking in more money in this deal about $14.7 million under the first apron so Celtics are $18 million over the apron and of course Chris Herzingis makes out $30.7 million and I think at any point you’re gonna have to get you know a guy back they’re gonna be you know I don’t think Christophs Porzingis I mean I didn’t think that Drew Holidayiday was gonna net you a positive asset seeing now what happens with you know Christophs is going to be absolutely crucial and I don’t think it stops there i really think this is the beginning of one of the biggest offseasons in recent memory for not only the NBA but for specifically the Boston Celtics and you know the first move happened late last night we’re going to have multiple multiple videos a day covering it for you all but it was a very neat move a very clean piece of work by Brad Stevens and more is on the horizon and I genuinely believe now I think I don’t think anything is off limits and Shams came out and said earlier that you know Jaylen Brown Derek White they’re probably not going to trade him unless they get a master you know grandmaster offer and a huge offer and I I think that’s going to be potentially what happens here i think teams are willing to make moves now and we talked about it how you know the Celtics could keep Jaylen Brown and go all in in the Eastern Conference in the sense of you know not trading those guys and it’s wide open other teams in the East now seeing how open it is might be willing to offer crazy amounts for Jaylen Brown to help their team compete if you’re the Celtics if you’re going to take a year off might be the time to trade some of your assets but I’ll digress a little bit on that a new report has dropped here and it’s it’s a new mock not mock trade but also like you know a rumor surrounding a trade and this is Chris Stops once again to the Sacramento Kings so this prop move proposed move rather may not be the most exciting start to the journey but one of the many possible paths that the Kings can take and it is Christophing in the 28th pick for Demar D Rozan and I covered Drew Holidayiday to demar for Demar D Rozan recently here on the channel very interesting one this one is also interesting I’ve already written about the idea of sending D Rozan the Celtics now he could be a good stop gap option for Boston while Tatum recovers the first iteration of the trade brought back Drew Holiday but the deal included sending out Devin Carter as well assuming that Holiday will be highly coveted around the league which is already you know done for at this point porzingis once again dealt with injuries and you know he played 42 games i this is an interesting one now I I don’t love it necessarily i’m not entirely sure again you just in theory replace Demard Rose in the starting lineup with Jason Tatum i think a Christopheris to the Kings deal and just a deal to the Kings in general is something that makes a lot of sense and of course if you’re the Kings here they also get the first round pick so you’re giving out assets in this case but again this would be more of a retool rather than a rebuild which is what Shams come out and said the Celtics are looking to do and that spoke clearly here with the acquisition of Anthony Simons in the uh you know in the Drew Holiday trade i genuinely believe that like a lot of moves are going to be on the horizon and I don’t think it’s going to stop at Christophs and let me know what your thoughts are on this basically Christophs for Demar Rozan which again is a very interesting trade in itself one that would make sense if they’re going for the East i don’t know how well you know how competitive a lineup filled with you know let’s say Derek White Anthony Simons Jaylen Brown Al Horford you throw Demard I mean you don’t really have a center you know Demar Roen I guess you know in there you assume Anthony is going to run the the shooting guard you have Derrick White at the one you have Payton Pritchard off the bench tom Hower is probably going to go like you need to do some you know bench work of course and you know Neimas Kada will he be someone who steps up this year xavier Tilman you have Tory Craig like if they bring him back all these different things baylor Shyman like do we have faith in guys like Baylor Shyman and Neimus Kada to step up or do they want to have a development year for guys like that i mean they’re beasts right i love them we all love them as Celtics fans right but at the same time they need to make some moves here and again Boston is extremely active and I a trade here is incoming for Christos Pzingis it is imminent and we’re going to keep you up to date with all the latest news make sure to hit that subscribe button let me know down below what kind of package you expecting to get back for Chris Stops following what was the Drew Holiday trade the beast package Brad Stevens was able to get back you guys are fantastic

What about Zach Lavine instead of DeRozan? Hard to see Kristaps eventually moved but hope he retires as a Celtic
Hauser is gone. He's 10 mil and he's a role player. Maybe they get a 2nd for him. They're not trading brown when Tatum is out for the year. That would be a tank and the new owner and his investors probably dont want that. If they can flip Simmons in another deal that gives them flexibility with money.
KP to the Pelicans would be better… try to get Troy Murphy
Good trade needed to get rid of that contract. Respect to Holiday but it was time. Celtics now need to trade Jordan Walsh, Sam Hauser, Xavier Tillman, Neemias Queta for a Small Forward + Throw in draft picks if they have to. Celtics did a 5 for 1 trade with the Pacers a couple years ago time to do that again for a Small Forward/Wing. Don't worry about the big men till after the draft see what they can get, then some in Free Agency if they do a sign and trade with the Timberwolves for Naz Reid / Porzingis something like that. Celtics are hurting because they keep players who never play they were only 6 men deep and it hurt Tatum, now their entire organization feels it. They need to stop giving friendly free rides and get to 8-9 deep like OKC. Celtics have 5 Free Agents, Big Al, Kornet, Craig, Peterson-TW, Norris-TW, dont re-sign any of them, no offense. If the Celtics can get Greek Freak for D White or J Brown might have to do that. Oh and by the way, Celtics need a new coach too.
This teams lack of depth, payroll and Tatum's injury is actually devastating for this team. If im the Celtics im cleaning ship and getting rid of everyone except, Tatum, Brown, White, Pritchard, Scheierman and Davison. Thats 6 total. They might even have to trade White and Brown as well, because by the time the help comes its going to take 2-3-4 years for the new young players to develop. By that time White is 34 and Browns hamstring who knows. This might be the time for a very unfortunate complete rebuild. Most important, Celtics need a new coach. This coach doesnt make live ingame adjustments, and due to lack of playing "depth" got Tatum and Brown hurt. Coach gotta go.
Rumor is the Rockets want Kristaps. That's the team for the Celtics to trade with if they can get Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson (these 2 highly unlikely but still have to see) Jabari Smith, Reed Sheppard, Cam Whitmore. Celtics need to trade for one of these guys give up draft picks too to get something done. Maybe trick the Bulls for Coby White and Matas Buzelis. All these other teams in the rumor im not trading for 35 year old players making 30 40 mill makes no sense with Tatum being out for a year.
Love KP but he is to fragile I need a big.
They will trade KP and SH for sure but after that I don’t see an upside to continuing to trade anyone else.
We dont want Derozen he's done.
Simons will start this season for the Cs. The KP trade market is down right now. They need to add an athletic wing and a lob-threat big man.
KP to the Kings deal doesn't make sense. We need a center back, period. We can't lose Kornett, Horford and KP, and replace none of them. That's dumb for next year as well as the following year when JT is healthy.
We should be going for Keagan Murray for KP and give them the 2 first rounds we have this draft.
This guy is a jaylen brown hater.
A mock trade is not substantive, so you shouldn't present it as such. I doubt the Celtics would even consider trading KP for Derozan straight up, let alone giving the Kings their 1st round pick as well! Sounds like a wish list from a Kings fan.
I wish Celtics would get raz reid
KP for Sabonis?? 😂
How has simon slipped through the cracks!! ?? Thats crazy this dude was starting and leading scorer!!!! 38 percent off 9 attempts a game dammm bro! 😎 Brad is legendary
Shams this & that – throwing the Shams brand of information around like there is prestige or intrinsic value to what this blowhard says. For example, 'Shams says that more moves are imminent…' what value would you give this little nugget at the beginning of free agency ? Zilch , no kidding Shams, are you breaking this here, can I quote you on it?? The NBA and ESPN are controlling narratives, brokering information, remaining tight lipped until Silver and a small cabal, OK dissemination of information, micro-managers controlling minute details at the player level, all the way to market level. Shams is an interface tool… EMBARRASSING , comical how they use this cat to drive artificial interest in mundane and superfluous subject matter…
I don't think you can deal kristoff..that huge contract and his health issues…he doesn't even know what is wrong with with him…good luck dealing him
Here we go again with the trade Jaylen Brown bullshit. The Boston sports media is so hard up to trade him.
If titles are what you're trying to win, I'll rather have Jrue
Real question is does payton want a trade again after winning 6th man and boston trading for another starter. Is he ok with being 6th man Again we kno he wants more he is basketball. ??
Imagine:
Dylan Harper
Jayson Tatum
Stephon Castle
Anfernee Jennings
Derrick White
Kristaps Porzingis
Payton Pritchard
Luke Kornet
Al Horford
Who is this weirdo?
