I’m gonna miss Jrue in Portland

[@dogstorm9335]

He was the best player on that team

[@jeremyfaison6406]

He ain’t even play a game yet

[@SoulGoodFamily]

Statue for sure

[@DukesVerrill]

They gotta hang the jersey up

[@lccoleman3]

😂😂😂😂

[@jingqi9106]

I saw Jrue play in high school and you could tell he would be an excellent pro even then. Welcome to Boston!

[@YoMa-Ma]

I saw Jrue last week in Portland. I said “hey Jrue, thanks for getting us those picks, you want a soda?” And he said “thanks.” And has I walked away he said “here kid, catch” and threw me his Blazers jersey and I said thanks. Stand up guy for sure. Good luck in Boston!

[@gameplayer1980]

That's how you welcome a new player. Intro was very well done.

[@gyoyobw123]

Celtics always do these player intros so well. Great organization.

[@junomaxzoey5146]

Jrue is a defensive force to be reckon with unbelievable clutch steals on top of his offensive arsenal.

[@Cloverhope23]

Did he stop Jimmy Butler in the playoffs?

[@seand8415]

A lot of player interviews feel somewhat scripted. All of Jrue's responses are heartfelt and meaningful. I can hear in his voice why players would love being his teammate

Well he’s the Dame stopper from the depths of doom

He was descent not mad or sad about his time with us, he did a good job at times on the other hand he disappointed

@@4ktkaram395yeah jrue couldn’t guard a folded chair in the playoffs, I look forward to watching him try and guard a dame giannis pick and roll

[@J4b3R]

Adding Jrue to this squad is gonna be interesting to watch unfold as the season goes on. It's going to be an EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFF SHOWDOWN!!!! "Buckle UP" and "GRAB the POPCORN." 😎😎😎😎

[@chrisguy9017]

Might be exactly what Boston needs.

[@OGpapaHood]

I think Jrue can help their young core make an All defensive team at least once.

[@corpr8dystopia778]

It’s proven to be, along with KP.

[@19Escobar98]

Coming back to this comment this is what thy needed 💯💯💯

[@TheKaradras]

I've seen a lot of introduction pressconf. and that is the 1st time i see someone from the team address the new player directly and i have to say i love it! Good job C's !!! As a LAL fan i am sad he got there but all the best to him and cant wait for the season to start

[@mrtroll7755]

Jrue looks dead inside 😢😢😢 going to miss u on my bucks, dude😢😢😢

[@jayharris1359]

@MaineAndrehe ticked they traded him which is good when they play the bucks

[@tellall23]

Jrue played 4 years in Philly then 7 in New Orleans then only 3 in Milwaukee. He is well travelled. He is just fine. I cant imagine a better fit for him than between Tatum&Brown. I just can't.

[@trequan3912]

They clearly knew how hurt Jrue was with getting dealt from Milwaukee. They both save each other and appreciate it. Not just Brad smiling, all of them were especially Jrue while being talked about! All love banner 18

[@eerhtM]

All this money flowing through the NBA and yet their audio quality for pressers remains to be hot garbage.

[@user-ny2tk2yu4v]

Oh yeah cudos Bravo's to the staff and city of Boston great trade fanatic nice defensive wow congratulations 👏🎉🎉🎉👏 to Boston community ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

They don't deserve JRUE, 😭😭😭😭😭😭....FYI please look at a beautiful letter his wife written. Everything is about business and about money.

[@russellwestbrookyellingatw9381]

Nobody wants to live in Milwaukee bro he's glad he's out of that place💀.

[@somatic47]

Yeah because Boston is such a great place… If he didn’t like it he wouldn’t have planned on being a Buck the rest of his NBA career. He got traded and is being a professional about his job, that’s all it is.

[@johnsmith1474]

Can you translate that to English? No, you don't write in English?

Some missed opportunity from the journalists asking questions. They had almost 30 min and didn't get in depth about what it was like being traded from the Bucks and overall asking about that trade coming out of nowhere literally.

he doesnt have a twin brother, but he does have 2 brothers playing in the league as well.

☘️🍀💪🏿

[@adamstewart247]

I think Milwaukee made a mistake....I think Jrue overall is better than Dame (offense+defense). I'm hoping I'm wrong as a Bucks fan

[@SquidysTents]

You guys weren’t going to win again with him. The rest of the league has gotten too good. You needed to improve your offense a lot, cause your defense is good. Letting go Jrue hurts, but getting Dame was a good decision regardless of how it works out

[@CoryCurry_815]

DID U JUST SAY HES BETTER THAN JRUE? Man did you watch the games? Lol

[@fatedestroyer]

​@MaineAndremiddleton is the problem

[@grzegorzszewczak2808]

I think both teams made a crucial changes and got helluva ballers.

[@cmn225]

Jrue is definitely NOT a better overall player than Dame stop it that's one of the wildest takes i've ever heard...he's a better defender & that's it

[@johnsmith1474]

Now the Celtics need a coach, which they will find out when they lose 6-9 games due to bad decision making. Stephens is an insufferable soft goof.

Now you set up to get the absolute most in a Tatum trade, get rid of the worst ego on the team, the guy who thinks a loss is ok if he's responsible for it.
