I think you need to update yourself with how you remember Porzingis' game is. He's far from that Mavs version of himself.
2:44 Luke Kornet is not a basketball player. He that super tall, unauthentic, uncoordinated trombone player from the marching band that just happened to be standing by the sideline when an injury happened so they threw him a jersey and told him to just go in and run around a little bit, try to catch the ball if it went near him but otherwise just stand there and jump straight up when anyone shoots 27 feet away from him
why even there is debate over is it a good trade, its A++++++ to boston
The Celts have been trying to get Porzingis for years. Hopefully he still has some left in the tank.
"All they had to do was give up Marcus Smart" might be the dumbest fucking sentence I have ever heard in a Youtube video.
This trade does not improve Boston's chances of getting a title.
I SAID IT WHEN THE KNICKS TRADED HIM AND I'M SAYING
IT NOW…KP "IS NOT" A BIG TIME PLAYER IN THE 2ND HALF
OF 90% OF THE GAMES HE PLAYS IN.
HE ONLY "STARTS OFF" GOOD HITTING HIS SHOTS THAN
BY THE 3RD OR 4TH OUARTER HE'S NON-EXISTENT
ON EITHER OFFENSE OR DEFENSE !
YOU KP FANS HAVE TO BE AS BLIND AS HELL TO NOT
HAVE NOTICE THAT IN HIS ENTIRE NBA CAREER
AND THATS "EXACTLY WHY" HE HAVE GOTTEN TRADED
SO OFTEN BECAUSE THE GMS "HAVE ALL" RECONIZED IT
Technically the Celtics gave up Smart, their original 1st round pick no 35, Muscala and Gallinari for KP and 2 1st round picks.
"Heart & Soul of the team"…. The heart and soul of Boston has been that of a loser the past 3 years. The results don't match the talent. If Smart was the "heart & soul" of Boston, it was time to ship him out and try and and improve the results. Smart is so overrated
you never really explained why kristaps isnt a great fit when healthy. as a celtics fan i see this trade as a pretty good fit to take load off robertt williams and porzingus. Kristaps can open so many off ball movements for a team without a profficieny post player and a player (jaylen brown) who scores at a ridiculous efficiency off screens in the midcourt (often recieved from smart )
I think the griz are hoping smart can rub off on ja. Smart works his ass off, is vocal, has never caused team issues and was very active with the community in and around boston his whole tenure.
So, to me you're missing one huge key to why he's a great fit. Im a Boston fan, I love smart and will miss him but the roster was too guard heavy. To have D White (who was the 3rd best player on the team by the playoffs) on the floor you could only play 1 big. Rob had to sit. Now with D white at the 1 you can play rob and do it without spacing issues. Any combo of Al and KP can play 4 out, or 5 out. Any combo of Al or KP plus Ron can play 4 out. They gave Mazula options in game planning. And Al is going to help KP take a big steps learning the art of team defense, let's not miss that.
It’s the Celtics who got robbed. Trusting per man is like wagering against house in Vegas. House always wins in long run. In association it’s team that reaches final who avoids injuries someone per man not noted to do.
Easy, motherfuckers really think Marcus Smart is Gary Payton. That’s how you find a team that’s willing to give up a better PG along with giving extra assets to get a washed vet.
The Celtics also had to give up two big men, Gallinari and Muscala and a draft pick. On draft day, they turned that #25 pick for a handful of future 2nd Round picks. The trade of Smart for Porzingas is not a slam dunk. Smart is healthy and is a defensive wizard and ball handler. He was also a veteran clubhouse leader. Porzingas value depends upon his health, which is risky at best. However, if he remains healthy he's a Kevin McHale type.
The main thing people are forgetting is defense. Mazzulla does not care about defense and Smart definitely kept the team have decent to good defense. I’m not fan of the Celtics current defense especially in this last series we saw that you cannot win by just shooting 3s which is what happened.
This is going to implode. Porzingis has never been a success on any of his teams
Good luck BC ~ may clean up the East but ya gotta go through the entire west !
Where did Galinari and Muscala come from? In your analysis you forgot to mention which team lost their services.
I'm from Boston and I'm extremely happy to see smart go .he's a horrible shooter and it's his fault we haven't won a championship
losing Smart to a born loser like K.P. it's pure madness; I could understand Brogdon but we don't have a big dog in defense like Marcus anymore and we'll pay dearly in the playoffs.
I just feel like they got softer
The big thing that Boston needs is a floor general. Tatum has improved his passing, but I haven't seen any evidence that he has the feel/ability to regulate the tempo of play. Boston really needs someone that can distribute the ball and get it to Tatum/Brown/KP in their spots. Derrick White is more of a scoring/defensive guard. Maybe Payton Pritchard can do this, he has shown strong floor vision in the past. But his height is a limiting factor in the lineup defensively (although I like the effort that he puts in on that end).
Naw. The grizzles just got away with highway robbery in my opinion. They just got a championship level piece who can help change their locker room. I like Porzingas to the Celtic's, but his injury track record is worrying for a team trying to make a deep playoff run. Can his body hold up for that? Don't know but we do know what Marcus Smart can bring to a team and it's exactly what the Grizzlies need
KP is a defensive liability and offensively streaky. C's did not get better.
Porzingis plays a bit soft, no?
ring…or heart…ok plus soul?
LMAO NOT CONVINCED, they're still frauds.
Tingus Pingus is a great asset
There is the right way to start over and there is the wrong way to start over and the Wizards are writing the playbook on that…
Highway robbery with the 2 picks.
Actually Celtics got defenders like Jordan Walsh, Derick White and JD Davison
Nope
Don't know much about porzingis but what if he also learned the sky hook? I mean he's 7'3 right? so if he could learn and be at least decent using it then that can be a move for him where (idk much ok🤷♂️) he won't use as much effort to score near the basket. 🤔🤷♂️
Gaber is much better then KP?????
Nobody calling them a big 3 tho. They never winning a title
Porz is a Woman Beater.😂 that's why you monkey!! Look at the Hornets still going to sign the other woman beater 😂😂
No more excuses.
C’s got a steal with Jordan Walsh. One of the bigger sleepers in the draft. Solid defender that will fill some gaps even if just low minutes. Sucks to see Smart go but this is a much improved team with Health being the main factor for a banner run. C’s going to have a 3 headed monster in the front court. Really going to open up Tatum and Brown. Always wanted to see this lineup with a serious Post player now they have one the best in the league. Very least they are going to fun to watch.
Porzingus can play 30 minutes a game with William's and Horford helping in with minutes!…and Porzingus helps them as well…those three can manage minutes by giving more rest to each other
Finally someone said it 😭😭
