Celtics got another backup BIG in Gabriel from lakers. Brad will use tpe to get someone like Drummond later on! Go 🍀🏆Cs!!!
Lets hear ut JJ!❤
In my humble opinion. This series of trades gave everyone what they wanted.
01) Dame got his wish & went to a contender.
02) Giannis got his wish & the Bucks got better
03) The Celtics went all in & they are in win-now mode with Jrue.
04) Portland got a HAUL! Their future is so bright with multiple firsts, pick swaps, and legit big men in Deandre Ayton & Robert Williams, both fit their timeline.
The keague just got shook up in an i vredible way❤
Incredible
Yhe Blazers have a vwry brihht guture ahead if them❤
Bright future
Awesome podcast guys! Not enough mention of Jordan Walsh. He's going to have serious minutes throughout the season and likely even in the playoffs. I see a Christian Braun role for him for sure.
I;m furious the Knicks couldn't get Jrue. He was too valuable an asset for too many teams in the east. Bulls, Heat, Philly, Raptors, and of course, Celtics would have all obviously benefitted greatly from his presence, so I felt like the Knicks needed to be aggressive. Something like Barrett, Hartenstein, two firsts. They would have still had the assets for the big superstar move if it becomes available…now the Celtics basically turned Smart to Holiday and Williams to Porzingis and all they had to give up was Brogdan, who was possibly too injured to trade and the reason they gave up Smart in the first place? Don't get me wrong, I'm a salty Knicks fan, but come on!
7:11 OMG My man just gently ETHERed Luke "The Green" Kornet . Why god? Why?
My thoughts on Al exactly JJ! He is Tom Brady and I love it.
Personally think Jordan Walsh could fill some Grant Williams minutes for those guys
Celtics big 4 is crazy
Right now, i have Milwaukee one, Miami two, and Boston three because Celtics plays heat, Butler is the best player on the floor
None of this make any sense. Because Last year Bragdon was to solve all of the celtics issues and it made more sense because he was also a solid back up. But the celtics had the defensive player of the years. Both last year and the year before. That All got exposed because of Curry. But Drue aint a rookie, If he is so good at defense, why wasn't done for the bucks. SO all that is just the same as it was before. And I thought Robert Williams was their x factor? Celtics will have another great regular season and again look like a high school team when it matters.
Good luck trying to stop the Celtics. Holy crap. I thought they were already the best. Now it just solidifies that. 4 guys who can put up 30 points. they can afford a injury and still be the best. If Milwaukee loses one of those 2 superstars. Not good.
People don't realize how good the Celtics gonna be defensively. They can switch every position now.
The NBA looks so exciting this season. So many stacked teams, they all still have to take the crown from Jokic though
Lmao the Luke kornett slander is uncalled for
I feel like Boston went thru the heartbreak by losing in the previous years (just like nuggets) and this is the year they win
The Celtics could care less about front court D, there philosophy is shoot more 3s than the opponent. 😂
Well that was mean 😂😂😂
I heard every name except Jordan Walsh…
Im listening to guys talk about Time Lord as a defensive rebounder lol.. do these guys watch? He was a bottom tier defensive rebounder and the best on the offensive class and second chance points. Not mentioned once
Rob Williams minutes were limited under Mazulla.
Jrue? You gonna trade me? Goes to Celtics gets the last laugh
Al Horford is Embiid's daddy. He has been that since Day 1.
