Young coach won A+! US media posted 3-for-1 transaction ratings for 5 parties: Holiday became the biggest loser + Trail Blazers passed

Young coach Stevens won A+! After the third trade was finalized in the offseason, the US media "fadeawayworld" posted a score of 5 parties in this 3-for-1 trade. Among them, Holiday, who was sent away by the Celtics, became the biggest loser and only received a D score. The Trail Blazers, who were one-sided in the outside world, passed the C score.

The third transaction was reached

According to ESPN reporter Shams, the Celtics and the Trail Blazers completed a 3-for-1 deal with Holiday and Simmons Jr. The specific content is as follows:

Trail Blazers got: Holiday;

Celtics got: Simmons Jr. + 2 second round picks (30-year Knicks + 31-year Trail Blazers).

U.S. media posted 5-party ratings

Compared with the Magic's first transaction, the Magic lost 5 in the first round and the Rockets for 8 for 1 Durant in the second transaction, the exchange between Holiday and Simmons Jr. in the third offseason was not important, but it will still have a profound impact on the two teams.

For this reason, the US media "fadeawayworld" also scored the five key aspects involved in this transaction.

Celtics: A score

Celtics are one of the undisputed winners in this deal. Faced with the salary issue that is about to explode this summer, the Celtics solved Holiday's most difficult contract for 72 million in two years.

also replaced Anthony Simmons, who was only 26 years old. In the past two seasons, he has been a stable 20+ scorer, and his three-point efficiency and output are excellent.

saved $40 million in luxury tax in one go and filled the gap in the team's lack of scoring firepower during Tatum's absence.

Trail Blazers: C rating

Holiday obviously does not meet the Trail Blazers' reconstruction schedule, but the US media still thinks this is a passing operation.

Because with the Youth League Thunder winning the championship, the NBA has produced 7 different championships in the past seven years. It is not difficult to see that the NBA is in a period of transformation where new and old stars are not meeting, which brings the league back to the era of competition among the heroes.

The Trail Blazers played a winning rate of more than 50% in the second half of the 24-25 season, and had a defensive efficiency of 110% during the period. With Holiday, who has both experience and top defensive abilities joining, the Trail Blazers are expected to accelerate their reconstruction and return to the ranks of competitors.

Young coach Stevens: A+

In addition to two teams that directly participate in the transaction, the US media also specifically commented on the two players involved in the transaction and the "Young coach" Stevens, the Celtics management.

From a gorgeous transformation from a college field to becoming a representative of the high-quality new coach in the NBA, to being promoted to the management and winning the best general manager to lead the team to the championship, Stevens can always burst out with greater energy when facing huge challenges.

The same is true this time. Faced with huge salary pressure, Stevens forced a perfect deal that took into account all aspects, and even allowed the Trail Blazers to get two second round picks, worthy of the A+ high score.

Anfini Simmons: B+ Score

Simmons Jr. is falling out of the Trail Blazers' first training sequence. His importance is significantly lower than Sharp and Henderson. As the contract is about to expire, joining the Celtics gives him the opportunity to further improve himself and pursue a big contract.

Due to Tatum's serious injury, the Celtics will surely sell their existing core combat power this summer, which will give Simmons more opportunities to prove himself in a better system and a larger stage.

Holiday: D-rating

For veteran Holiday, returning to the Trail Blazers at the end of his career, a young team in the reconstruction stage is naturally not the best choice. Unless there is a major change, he will no longer have a reasonable chance to compete for the championship in the next two years.

What's worse is that the Trail Blazers are a bottom-line team with insufficient attention. Unless they rebound strongly and play with influence, it will also affect Holiday's competition for the next contract.
