					<description><![CDATA[shams is reporting that Portland aggressively pursued jrue...

they must think they&#039;re close to competing for more than a play-in position...or perhaps just being in the play-in with a shot at the playoffs is enough to justify bringing in jrue...

if i remember right they played well the second half of last season...

unfortunately, I don&#039;t think Boston is gonna suck all that much, they&#039;ll probably win at least 48 games or so next regular season...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[July 16, 1945 - first nuclear explosion in Los Alamos Mexico, codenamed &quot;Trinity&quot;

9 months later, April 13, 1946 - Al Green is born, singer of &quot;Tired of Being Alone&quot;

You know who else was &quot;Tired of Being Alone&quot;? According to Awfulannouncing.com, they had a webpage with the headline &quot;Shaquille O’Neal: ‘I already know I’m going to end up being alone’&quot;

Shaquille O&#039;Neal played for which team? Forming a &quot;Trinity&quot; with Kobe and... Derek Fisher - who coached which team in 2014–2016?!

And what happened in 2016? Luka Doncic made his senior debut for Slovenia! And how was he described in 2025 when he returned to dallas, this time with the lakers?

Lakers’ Luka Doncic sends fans into frenzy with&lt;strong&gt; nuclear &lt;/strong&gt;45-point game in Dallas return

					<description><![CDATA[Jrue was traded to Boston by Portland, which makes finding out what he was traded for then difficult cause if you google &lt;em&gt;jrue trade portland boston&lt;/em&gt; you only get the results from today’s trade. I think it was Brogdon and some firsts. So portland is still in the black on that deal, yes?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Moving Jrue puts them under the 2nd apron and relieves them of repeater tax penalties. I think there&#039;s a good chance Porzingis and/or White get moved for immediate draft assets and they start rebuilding with the tail end of Tatum&#039;s mega-contract in mind. They will decidedly not be a contender next year so they might as well try to squeeze value out of their own pick for once. 

I just checked out the Blazers&#039; roster and boy, what a mess. Ayton makes $35.5M and is washed. Inexplicable Toyko 2020 gold-medalist Jerami Grant is &lt;em&gt;extra washed&lt;/em&gt;, but $96M left on his contract. Then a bunch of guys who aren&#039;t overpaid (Avdija, Rob Williams) but not needle-movers. Oh, and Scoot Henderson, who I, in a rare miss, once called a future superstar.

Don&#039;t really understand the move for anyone but the accounting team at TD Garden.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Veteran leadership? They looked KIND of feisty last year, no?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Avdija is going to see an explosion in scoring and possibly win MIP or make a 3rd team, but Simons was a big part of their solidly-below-average flashes of mediocrity. Replacing that with a rapidly-deteriorating Jrue doesn&#039;t help them get better on offense, IMO, and they were pretty bad at scoring this year. They need some salary to clear at the end of 2026 and make some splashes in free agency.]]></description>
