I admit I've been waiting a long time to write this column. I hated it when both got traded.
I admit I've been waiting a long time to write this column. I hated it when both got traded.Monday night, Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky joined Celtics guard Jrue Holiday as former Philadelphia standouts who got kicked aside by their teams about a decade ago and who, this month, each won a championship. In fact, it was Holiday’s second title since he got the boot.
Holiday has made two All-Star teams — the first one in the year he was traded — and six All-Defensive teams . He’s won the two titles, and, this summer, likely will win a second Olympic gold medal. The Sixers remain in an 88-year Olympic gold-medal drought.It has, after all, been 11 years since the Sixers traded Holiday to the Pelicans for No. 6 pick Nerlens Noel and a 2014 first-round pick on draft night 2013, the first misstep in a running deconstruction catastrophe known as “The Process.
By the end of the 2012-13 season, the Flyers dumped Bryz with a $23 million buyout that they’ll still be paying through the 2026-27 season, which will be the next time Bobrovsky’s a free agent. He might have another Stanley Cup or two by then. Noel was projected to be a high-end rim-protector with athleticism to burn; he was, in fact, an oft-injured head case who burned out of the league at the age of 28.
