He’s right. He’s not a smart replacement and it sucks some will always look at it that way. The fuuuuuucking clippers man.
Best answer he can give on that subject. Appreciate it tbh.
Just dont get injured my guy
Every answer I’ve seen him give in regards to coming here has been very comforting. He’s definitely upped my excitement
I’m so excited to see Tathim, Jayhim, and Porzingod dominate the league
Honestly surprised Forsberg wasn’t wearing a funeral tux and crying while he did this after the Smart article he wrote 😂 🤣 😆
Classy comment to make.
Well said and I appreciate hearing that.
Garbage trade. Worst one since dumping Joe Johnson.
I think he wants to be here
He’s saying all the right things, he knows how much Marcus meant to the city and isn’t being coy about giving him props
Greeeeat answer
I feel like Celtics PR gives new players a one slide keynote presentation on how to win over Boston fans:
– Post Shamrocks on social media
– Praise Marcus
– Talk about effort and energy
– Promise to dive for loose balls
Fucking Clippers. Him and Smart would’ve been a lethal combo too. I mean I get why the Clips did what they did but man, fuck them.
I’m cautiously excited about next season
Then don’t play in the goddamn summer tournament
I think it could work… that’s my mindset
