  1. Problem is they do not have a floor General to distribute the ball. Without ball contributor not going to be champions. They need a Chris Paul or a Draymond.

  2. The idea of Porzingis is always much much much better than the reality of Porzingis.

  3. White and Brogdon are already enough to fill in the point guard role. This was a good move if Brogdon stays healthy.

  4. interesting to see Jokic so high on the turnover % list for PnR ball handlers. A video about that would be interesting

  5. Porzingis might look good on paper, but he won't fit in the locker room, and this bad chemistry will sink the Cs.

  6. The emotional attachment that fans had with Smart is the only thing that is making the trade hard to digest, because everybody knows that Porzingis fits much better.

    His frailty and the sustainability of the productivity that he had last season are still concerns though.

    Also, I understand that the DW, Brogdon, JB, JT and KP lineup would be very potent on offense, but I’d rather see a balanced approach with Robert Williams instead of Brogdon. Although the offensive output would be lower, the defense should be dominant and generate more transition opportunities, while the offense should still be top 10 in its own right.

    Hopefully everybody stays healthy and it still remains to be seen who they’ll keep between Brogdon and Grant Williams.

  7. Lol how you try to paint this picture the Celtics got rid of a player they originally wasn’t trying to trade anyway.

  8. 2mins in and Smart is a poor mans Draymond. Imagine if the Celtics swapped Smart for Draymond. I wonder how many rings they would have.

  9. Interesting observations on Smart’s passing woes. I’ve never seen such a streaky passer before. A lot of Celtics fans fail to realize how much this impacted the teams overall identity and continuity on offense. On any given night his passing/playmaking could be anywhere between Trae Young and Pat Beverly

  10. Tatum two first team all-nba selections came at the SF. The Celtics went to the NBA Finals with him at SF & were the #1 offense that year.

    2020 was a completely different team, coach, and system there’s so much context you’re leaving out.

  11. what happened to yam madar?
    kristaps on the bench smoking bench players that will be hectic they need another guard

  12. Those Marcus Smart clips were beyond disingenuous lmaoo why do think the return was two 1st round picks? Cause of his turnovers?

  13. If brad don’t have d white he doesn’t move smart it’s as simple as that d white gives u what smart does but better …. better shot selection more unselfish and keeps a cool head always for anybody questiong he’s defense he just made a all nba defensive team he led the league in blocked shots for small guards u can argue he was there best 3rd player last year

  14. "YEAH Trading for Porzingis was a good choice, KP is pretty good… but the real benefit to the Celtics is getting rid of that loser!" – Coach in a whole video

  15. History does love repeating itself lol. Smart and Tony Allen are in the same scenarios. Memphis got another grit and grind guy!

  16. How does the effect the warriors chance to win the finals???

  17. marcus smarts plays as if he is a 2nd or 1st option when that just isnt his skill set.

  18. I thought of coach first when this trade was made 😂 he can’t stand smart
