My C’s traded for Jrue holiday.

Didn’t see that coming. Gave up a lot.

Got rid of your rim protector. Interesting move.

Portland is coming out a big winner in this whole Lillard trade process.

Say what you will about Brad Stevens, he sure as hell isn’t afraid to make changes.

The Celtics were seen as a possible Eastern destination.

The Athletic had an article about it on Friday with their most likely trade partner being the Clippers.

Their Boston scenario was really close to what turned out to be the case (no Pritchard involved in real life):

The Eastern Conference Arms Race, Part 2: Boston Celtics
• Celtics acquire Holiday
• Blazers acquire Malcolm Brogdon, Robert Williams III, Payton Pritchard, two first-round picks

Good call by them. Cs really needed to hold on to Pritchard just for PG depth.
