NBA Gametime: Udonis Haslem Says Porzingis Sent To Washington To Die, Acquired For Soda/Chips
all right guys KP since you come in the league you’ve always been good to me doing interviews I’m super happy for you how big would you really to fight to get back on the floor tonight oh man it was uh a lot of effort went into all of this and also for myself you know just being hurt and trying to push through it and I think today was like the Pinnacle of that you know I was um my leg is not great but I gave everything I could to the team and and uh and with the real chance and how frustrated were you because I saw you throughout the Eastern Conference Final working out on the side really want to be on the court how frustrating was that of course of course but I was seeing that hey we’re our team is so stacked that we’re able to to to to to do the job even with one of our main guys out you know and and uh it was amazing to see and everybody stepping up and then I finally I got my chance to to to get out there on the floor in the finals I just want to say thank you again go enjoy thank you my man all right big moment for Chris TOS porzingis big moment for L he was the first to Ever represent l in an NBA finals and now the first Lan native to win an NBA championship and by the way L is a tiny country Lan Slovenia like LCA donin’s country are like 5 million people it’s a big deal to bring an NBA title back home and for porzingis who has been an Allstar has been the future for some franchisees bounced around a little bit he really found a home home here is kind of a number three score slotted where he should be and now he’s got a ring it’s been a very interesting path for porzingis came into this league remember they were booing him at first on draft night then it was all of a sudden he was the the Unicorn original unicorn he was he was supposed to take over the NBA not the remix the original that’s right the original then he goes to Dallas him and Luke are supposed to be the the pillars of the franchise it doesn’t work out goes to DC gets his game back going again starts scoring at a high clip and then he has to go go change that again when he ends up coming to Boston he sacrifice the offens some more so his career has gone up and down like this right here and to see him just say you know what it’s not about me it’s not about the numbers it’s about winning whatever you need me to do I’m very happy for him and it’s amazing because I think timing plays a part too going through those failures going through that adversity now so as these young stars with Boston right so you guys are meeting the magic moment at the right time you guys are meeting it together I’m not sure that brown and Tatum and those that crew can can handle this at this point if they hadn’t had the heartache of Golden State so those guys going through adversity and coming together like you know what we’ve done it all we’ve made money we’ve done this and that it’s about winning they all sacrific for each other yeah and if we’re going to talk about giving credit to Missoula and his staff how about Brad Stevens and the decision he made when pozas have been passed around and they send you to Washington die and they go get him hey I’m just saying wizard I’m offended my bad I’m just say trigger they see to Washington take a break they see you to Washington get they see you to Wasington get Affairs in order oh my God they say you know why she to get your Affairs in order so we can really no you talked about the season that Boston had last year and usually when a team gets to the Eastern Conference Finals or gets that close you run it back you don’t want to disrupt that chemistry to go out and to get a poor zingas go out and get a Drew holiday and to basically give up a bag of chips in the soda wow hey you own one over listen no I’m no disrespect to the guys that got traded that sound that sound like disrespect s a little disrespectful did they play they did not play they did not play in Port so if they didn’t play then this trade obviously works out better for Boston out you they got a they got a draft pick back in the porzingis deal they got the best player in the deal and got a pick back list shout out Brad Stevens that’s incredible he was the best coach now yeah I don’t know if I agree with you Donis Hasam on that one the Boston Celtics gave up Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies it was a three- team trade Marcus Smart was known as their defensive leader leader in General on that team a lot of guy with heart just played really rugged tough individual and I was a bit skeptical when they traded him away I thought that maybe they would have lost a little bit of that with Marcus Smart gone however I did recognize that porzingis would be a perfect third option and there was times of people said that he could be a even fourth option I disagree with that I always thought that porzingis was a really really great pickup in terms of scoring and if he was healthy in the end it worked though they got a championship so obviously they’re not regretting U moving certain pieces in order to get him anyways check out this video that I did with porzingis and this time in Dallas I went into more detail as to why that didn’t work out and his overall career how he ended up in Celtics on the Boston Celtics in the first place peace and salute
Udonis Haslim Joined NBA Gametime to make some bold statements in regards to KP to say the least.
