Staying alive. This is a low-key salary dump, likely an improvement considering their previous glut of big guards and lacking big rotation, and they get some draft capital to (hopefully) fill out their roster with cheap players.
This is genius on their part... assuming Smart wasn't the heart and soul of the team (in a good way). They needed a shakeup anyway.
They got worse imoHow do the Celtics get the best player and two picks? I hate when they do good things.
Boo
Hope soThey got worse imo
They still have Brogdon.man i see the salary stuff but Brogdon was so efficient and yeah Smart bled green Porzingis hasn't shown himself to be a winner and i can't see how he and Williams can play together
Boston really needs guard play. They just got two first round picks. Could Sexton be in play for them?
They didn’t want Jones. They could’ve done the deal straight across and chose not to. This balanced the roster.Celtics just got even worse at ball handling. Surprised they weren't able to get Jones
doh dumbass me i forgot he'd been dropped from the deal thnx my badThey still have Brogdon.
No worries. Lotta crazy **** going down.doh dumbass me i forgot he'd been dropped from the deal thnx my bad
I agree White is a better fit next to the J's in Boston.
Smart is going to probably take over that Dillon Brooks type role in Memphis. They desperately needed some vet leadership. Their culture was headed in the wrong direction the past year.
Forgive my ignorance, but who the hell is getting Porzingis the ball on that roster?They didn’t want Jones. They could’ve done the deal straight across and chose not to. This balanced the roster.
Besides White and Brogdon? And maybe Pritchard (he wanted out cuz he had no path to playing)?Forgive my ignorance, but who the hell is getting Porzingis the ball on that roster?
Simply can't trust those thunder assistant GMs. Presti is the only man running the show and other guys are just the bus riders.Won’t complain about the Jazz ‘tank’ anymore. Wizards lost their whole team and got absolutely nothing back for it. And they did it the year after the Wemby draft.
Incompetence isn’t a strong enough word.
