anyways um like s mentioned uh bunch of Summer League stuff we’ll start there Celtics summer league roster still isn’t fully out but we do know the current quote unquote Celtics players that will be there Jaden Springer Jordan Walsh will be a part of the summer league team in addition to that uh JD Davidson Drew Peterson the two two-ways although JD Davidson might not be on a two way he’s not officially signed to one yet Drew Peterson is so we don’t really know status uh exactly so we don’t know um Nish kada could also be added to the group this is all part of Adam himmelbach of the Boston Globe shout out thank you Adam himmelbach also DJ clay will be coaching the team shout out DJ nice guy have talked to him a little bit briefly uh for those who might not exactly know who’s DJ mlay I don’t know who that is DJ mlay was Luca donic I wrote about it talked to Xavier tomman yes you didn’t know this oh he was he was DJ mlay donic in practice yes I thought you was like yeah he had this incredible like European career at a young age absolutely not he played at Richmond I think soor I’m absolutely not that’s harsh uh he played uh Luca in Celtics practice I talked to Xavier to about it this is the wrong article uh I IAL to dude can’t even plug his own [ __ ] articles I thought I clicked the right one I don’t know why it didn’t work okay BM um DJ mlay played LCA n in practice I talked to Xavier tomman during the finals uh in a one1 and he said yes uh he’s literally been LCA uh Not only was he LCA though like it’s not just like oh he was the guy he was in charge of their defensive game planning against Luca so like he was in charge of sort of leading that niche of The Scouting so him and S Kyu played Luca in practice to help the team get used to guarding a heliocentric player like that unfortunately I asked Xavier tman hey who’s been the better Luca he goes what just sorry DJ but the point is this guy DJ mlay great guy great coach is going to be the summer league head coach for the Celtics uh in just about a week now uh we’ll be heading to Vegas to watch but um we figured we’d go over all the players we’re going to be playing again we’ll do neimi we’ll do Springer we’ll do Walsh we’ll do Davidson we’ll do Drew Peterson talk about what we want to see from them talk about How likely it is they could get minutes next year or like what type of minutes they could get and how much summer league is going to impact that uh is there a player you want to start with uh let’s start with JD because we really don’t know what’s going on with him exactly all right do you want to start or do you want me to give my thoughts first uh you I’ll talk you pull up the highlights all righty we we’ll watch some JD Davidson highlights what we so JD Davidson was drafted by the Celtics in 2020 two he’s now had two years Z Pro under his belt he competed in the g-league finals with Maine not sure if he’s played his last game as a Celtic I I don’t root on anyone especially in this team’s downfall I would never root on their downfall however it wouldn’t be the worst thing if he’s not on the south next year I don’t know him as a guy he’s a young kid he has plenty of room to develop with that being said it doesn’t feel like that’s going to happen here he was really good for the red CL or the main Celtics this year you can see he’s a freak athlete he did a good job Distributing the ball for them but you just don’t really feel he has that same impact when he’s playing on the big stage which really no g-league players is going to but my goodness maybe we get to see some poers in the yeah for audio listeners we’re watching highlights for the YouTube crowd and jie Davidson has thrown two posters uh 28 seconds into this video J is gonna be a Twitter mixtape guy in five years how how how do you stop him whatever um anyways I was watching a video on Tik Tok he has one of the 10 best high school dunks of all time apparently really according to that list he like there is one it’s insane I’ll pull it up while we uh while youat if you want or I can give my thoughts too J just briefly J Davidson is fine I I do think he is genuinely really really talented player this just feels like I don’t want to say the worst he needs minutes he needs real minutes he needs real game reps and he just has not ever had the chance to do that in Boston because of the Guard Talent they have like Jon is a freak athlete as you’ve seen here he’s a genuinely really really good playmaker he’s not a good shooter but he drives really well you can attack like if he got real minutes on a team that doesn’t have any like actual point guard doesn’t have any actual player they need like no goals or anything like you you put him on the Wizards or you put him on the jazz or you put him on the you know one of these teams that can give him real minutes maybe you’d get a little pop maybe you’d get something where he could be a a high LEL backup he can run your offense like obviously the shots gonna have to come around but like it it does feel like he clearly has the talent to be somewhere getting a chance at the NBA level it’s unfortunately just not going to be in Boston that which is is if anything I I think JD Davidson should not want to play for the Celtics next year I think he should want to try to get a two-way spot where he could get the actual one whether it be with like a Pistons a jazz or Hornets or whoever right I I think it would be for his benefit to no longer be in Boston main yeah I I agree I think that’s where you’re going to see like it’s going to be the real test does he have it does he not have it is he able to perform when he has more responsibility and you mentioned it it’s just not going to happen here I don’t know what your stance is but mine is I think Springer is just ahead of him in the packing order I don’t really know if I like that really means anything for Springer but I’m a big supporter of his and I think he’s got a lot more role player upside than JD does if JD makes it it’s probably going to be like one of those how did the Celtics let this guy go he yes he’s so good you know like he does so many things and you can see when you watch these highlights he has so much versatility to his skill set he can he can dunk he makes these highlight passes he’s athletic enough to block like he is a quality player across many areas but he doesn’t have that same layer to his game where he’s able to make an impact in a low usage Jaden Springer has potential to be that guy so looking at JD what do we want to see from the summer league well we probably want to see him be the focal point of the team in terms of the ball handling but I don’t know what that translate to translates to as far as his future with the Celtics because it doesn’t feel like there’s ever going to be a role for him there yes I will say if he comes out in summer league which I don’t think this would happen because I’ve watched him shoot jumpers all year and he’s just magically like unconscious from uh three like he he just like oh wow that changes things obviously because that is the the one thing lagging behind but it just it just doesn’t feel like it um I can’t find the exact CC where do you seec team team abbreviation Cleveland charge I believe Cleveland Char what a shitty name uh won’t fight you there um I can’t find the dunk I know there was a crazy dunk but I can’t find what it was um oh yeah this is it I found it I don’t know if this is the exact one but this is p it up I just saw it and like here you go I think it’s right at the start of the video uh yeah JD Davidson just kind of kills a guy oh my God just he just murders a guy that’s the DeAndre Jordan dunk but he’s only 6′ three yeah this is insane I think they’re about to see it happen yeah throws it up just bodies over the defender yeah JD DAV is a freak athlete man I would love for him to put it together because I’ll put it this way if JD Davidson was a NBA level threo shooter I think he would get the real minutes in the NBA right now but he’s a little bit small isn’t an amazing Defender he hustles he’s a good athlete shots not really there it just it’s tough and so I think he needs to go to a team where he can get real minutes and get real NBA reps and that’s kind of my thought process um we did Drew Peters in video so we don’t have to spend a ton of time on him but Drew Peterson we can pull up a little bit of highlights is if we haven’t seen enough in the past couple days um go check out our Drew Peterson video because they just signed him 2A two-way contract so uh go check that out if you would want to see Full thoughts but I’ll keep it simple for Drew Peterson Sam make your threes do everything else better than everybody else period maybe show some muscles maybe show some muscles but like Drew Peterson on a two-way contract the goal should be I should be one of the best players on the floor period done like it and so I think make your threes at a high clip do everything rebounding passing defense everything better than most people done period that’s all I want to see from him I’m not even going to PA the highlights we watched a million yesterday go watch the video yeah I mean he needs to really start to show that he has got the elite skill which is shooting he needs to show that he has a little bit of an ability on the defensive end of the floor ideally if he wants real minutes with the Celtics he’s goingon to have to bulk up him and Jordan Walsh both look extremely skinny when they’re with the rest of the team in comparison to me probably not but looking at them next to NBA players they don’t quite look NBA ready yet now we can move on to Walsh because he’s an easy segue and he is probably the most exciting guy in this Bunch aru last summer league we were all he exceeded all expectations last year he was like getting buckets as a wing like he wasn’t necessarily A her heliocentric guy but he was still like run plays for him let him cook hitting his step backs I think he made a big shot the end of a game this is a big moment for Jordan Walsh this is big for us seeing what we’re going to expect from Jordan Walsh because he is now someone who has had an entire season working in the G League working on his game hopefully putting on a little bit of extra muscle he should be able to be one of the best players in this summer league especially with the top of this draft class being what it was this year he’s shown that he can drive he’s an okay three-point shooter up in main last year he was pretty pretty serviceable the real draw with him is defense he has really long arms he’s young and he has time to develop Brad Stevens picked him in this 2023 draft obviously because he sees something in him and he sees that three and D combination and if we can see Walsh probably play a bigger role than just 3 and D in the summer league but really thrive in those areas it’s something for all of us to be excited about for sure I want to see Jordan Walsh make it impossible for everybody else in front of him to score I think the threes are great obviously make your threes play catch and shoot I don’t even necessarily want to take a ton of on ball reps I’d rather see him play in a catch and shoot role where JD Davidson or Springer whoever can just set him up and he can knock down catch and Sho threes because that would be was doing in main he was doing he’s doing that right here in this video we’re watching if you’re on YouTube but the biggest thing for me is obviously he’s skinny frame small frame I want to see him every single guard in Wing that gets in front of him and he’s in a one-onone situation with clamps done not going to get past him get to position well show some of the defense show the wingspan show everything like like be a complete pest be the best defender in summer league that should be Jordan Walsh’s goal for do they give out all team in summer league they do all team they don’t do all like defense and I think they do MVP in all teams but I I think Jordan Walsh’s goal and what Celtics F should want to see or him strive for be the best defender in summer league period done like it that’s what you want to see threes go in would obviously like duh do some other things would be cool be the best defender in summer league period like that’s what they should want from Jordan Walsh prize picks is America’s number one daily fantasy sports app with over 5 million active users prize pick is the easiest and most

doesn’t quite have the same St play star power as a lot of other draft classes do not that those star guys ever show up and actually play in Summer League a wemi last year or Zion he played the one game then [ __ ] off or Ben Simmons but he doesn’t have a massive influx of new super talented guys to really compete with so it’s a big chance for him to take a step up and show everybody what he’s been working on over the past year absolutely uh speaking of working on Mish kada should slash could be with the Celtics Sumer League team this year this is another guy Allah Jordan Walsh he he should be one of the best players in some League the kada is very clearly a fringe NBA player could get real minutes probably will get real minutes on the Celtics next year oh I realized we didn’t talk about that Jen davon’s not gonna get any minutes on the Celtics next year unfortunately feels like Drew Peterson probably won’t either Jordan Walsh could be in the maybe he gets the OA brette minutes role like he gets every once in a while he’ll come in play a 15 minute in a game maybe he’ll give you 20 maybe if guys are hurt he he’ll I don’t think he’ll get a SP he might get you know maybe yeah maybe he’ll get a spot start like I think there will be like o obviously gonna play a different role like he’s a wing versus OA a forward but like I think it will be O’Shea Bret esim minutes for Walsh next year the Peterson and J I don’t think we’ll get much well yeah there there really is that opening now for Jordan Walsh like he’s got an opportunity to earn a pseudo rotation spot now that o is essentially all but left this team all all the the word on the streets are telling me the streets say he wants more minutes yeah I’ve heard he’s gonna look for something with more minutes but if he can’t find it then he would come back to Boston Ah that’s what I just listen to Thanos M where where did it all bring you all back all back to me exactly um but even then like if O’Shea is like testing the waters and nobody’s will to give him a minimum with more minutes you still have like a minutes battle between the two of them like I I think at least we haven’t seen the summer league yet we don’t know what’s G to happen but we could be walking away in like three weeks being like damn Jordan Walsh is ready to give O’Shea a run for those spot minutes next year and that would be great yeah I mean knowing Celtics fans they might even walk away saying does he take Hower spot like they’re gonna say some can they take can they trade Tatum yeah they’re gonna say some inre stuff but trade in his big contract and keep Wick no um Nish kada is a guy who’s probably G to play like 20 plus minutes and 10 plus like 15 plus like he’s gonna get real minutes next year with out for the first five to six minutes me too man like he he has a ton of potential um obviously just felt like last year he was still getting very used to being in the right place playing the Celtic system positioning all that stuff as we see him stat padding um but it feels like as he learns and as he grows like they’re going to need him to play real minutes next year and he has the potential to be the best backup big uh on the Celtics I think right now in this current moment it’s probably Tillman cornette then kada but I I I like you talk potential size quickness all that stuff like kada has the potential to be number one at that group it’s just a matter if he can get the positioning down summer league just like Jordan Walsh dominate defensively be be the best in interior defender in summer league send away every single shot get every single rebound hustle your ass off for GJ mlay um biggest thing for me though past that need to see the touch around the rim improve need to not foul those two right there one two touch around the rim improve defend without fouling because the touch has been questionable as you’ve seen with his million offensive rebounds got to make those shots if you’re playing for the Celtics at the NBA level yeah and you really have to make them in summer league when you’re not exactly playing against the best competition I’m super excited to see neimi play one thing I think we might see from neimi I’m not necessarily like looking for it I don’t really care whether or not we do see it think we might get to see a couple three-point shots from him in this summer league I we know the two of us have seen him working on it he has a decent looking jumper like he looks like someone who could potentially evolve into a sporadic three-point shooter where every once in a while he’s in the corner kind of doing what Baines used to do and catch and shoot those but you’re right jack number one and number two disciplined defense underneath the basket we just saw a nice block from him there and finishing around the rim if you’re playing against summmer League guys you have to finish especially if the cels are G to trust him with porzingis out eating up extra minutes in the early months of the Season you have to prove your a reliable guy because if you don’t you may just get left a little bit more than you should and then drives become a lot more difficult for the rest of the gang and for what it’s worth anytime I’ve seen neimi play in the G League aside from the championship game when he was Ill he has been a dominant finisher so I think we should be pretty intrigued by what we’re going to see in the summer league because he’s going to be playing against similar competition I want to see some dominant neim ball he’s super fun to watch I mean these highlights are awesome this was a tremendous showing in the first game of the finals you’re muted I said I mean he’s just huge he’s just a massive human being and he has some athleticism to him too he does like if he can get up there he can play with the right point guard like like I said all the potential all the physical skills all the physical tools to be the best backup center on Celtics just got to put together positioning wise touch wise defending without fouling wise big things very big things that people don’t necessarily notice because they see the super cool rebounds s of course it’s big things dumbass uh thanks uh but yeah I think he’ll obviously I think play real minutes for the Celtics next year um I can’t believe this wasn’t the g- League game I went to this year I went to the next one it’s tough tough for you brother last guy Jaden Springer of the group that we’re talking about today uh you heard the Avery Bradley comps immediately when he joined the Celtics I think those are the ones that have stuck with me the most pain in the ass defensively I think I mean I sound like a broken record that’s what you want to see from but like that’s it like if you’re going to defend at a high level in the NBA you need to do it in summer league for sure and so if they can do that in summer league that leaves me at least a glimmer of hope that they can do it at the NBA level other thing hit your threes got to hit the threes for Jaden Springer like that’s gonna be a huge thing for him I know I see him working with Tyler Lashbrook at it all the time uh before games they play a game where he’s got to make three in a row or three out of four and if he misses more than one he just says okay go sit he just sits down for like 20 seconds like just sits on the bench with the other coaches like he’s in timeout and then he goes all right come back like if he doesn’t get three four he’s going to go sit and it was very funny to watch because Jaden Springer be sitting there like laughing like [ __ ] just all pissed at himself um James Spring is cool though also like I said with tomman just super nice guy like I went up to him at media day and I go hey what’s up how you doing he was he just seemed genuinely happy that somebody wanted to talk to him for something I was like yeah what’s up man and so like I talked to him yeah little story we we should both see if we can get to Media Day this year like the big one just see what we can do that’s not how B works we would not be able the P we we wouldn’t get players yeah no it’s just press conferences um but uh yeah Jen looking forward to Jaden Springer three-point shots defense dominate summer league in those two areas I’ll be feeling good uh not something I think is going to be important for him playing up in Boston but little interested to see how well he does in the pick and roll he has a really good pick and roll offensive skill set meaning he’s going to make those midies off the screen he just is like you have to defend him off of the screen we’ve seen him warming up Jack we’ve seen him actually get in games and be able to make these free throw line Elbo is jumpers that’s going to be something he’s really good at in this summer league showcase like you mentioned the threes are something he needs to work on he’s not quite there yet but I love way the way he plays defense he’s an exciting player for me to watch I like his athleticism I like his energy and I’m hoping when he’s in these games in Vegas he’s bringing that same intensity of the floor and if he is it feels like the sou is going to be a very tough team to beat this a very good roster like that’s a really like gritty steal he was in the right place he had a good knowhow nice little explosive dunk on the other end and I think the Avery Bradley coms are very good and it’s a reason why I’m excited about him because even in today’s NBA I think a player like Avery Bradley could be be an asset on a winning team Bradley could shoot three he could play defense he had a little bit of ball handling in in decision making ability to him if you can develop Springer he’s really gonna help you down the line as Drew holiday ages out as Derek white ages out even though he’s on the younger side he’s far younger than holiday he’s still not going to be the player he once was eventually everybody father time gets him so if Springer sticks around and you you really work on him he can become a solid Celtic down the line yeah it feels like s have done a good job of throwing darts at players who can potentially fit for them eventually Springer is one of those guys he’s only 21 he doesn’t turn 22 to September so he’ll be 22 for all of next season but uh very young is the point um as for minutes next year it’s tough to see him getting a lot of regular rtation minutes correct when they added him at the trade deadline Brad did say something along the lines of like we added the guys who we think could play right now in the playoffs and will help down the line so maybe from that perspective like realistically thinking about it do they start to load manage Drew holiday a little bit next year maybe he’s 34 like it’s not like he’s he’s as as he once young as he once was they already won a title and not that they they obviously want to do it again but it does take a little bit of that pressure off and so I’m not saying they should Coast through the regular season but if they don’t win 64 games again I’m not gonna bitching mode you know what I’m saying like we know what they can do in the playoffs the slack get there get there healthy and if anything not saying rest Drew holiday but like if Drew holiday doesn’t play back toback like Al Horford open up some Pritchard minutes open up Springer minutes get him some rotation stuff um maybe he gets the SP spot minutes this year maybe it is instead of spe mcy it is oh yeah Jaden Springer will play here and there you know seven minutes here eight minutes there and you’ll see what that looks like um I like Jaden Springer a lot he’s probably the guy I am second most intrigued to watch in summer league behind behind who Jord Walsh Nish kada I want to see K really I’d put Walsh third I don’t know I I feel like with you know what the outline is like you know good defense three-point shots that’s what it’s going to be I’m I’m curious to see what Springer can do and then neimi I mean neim is just [ __ ] huge like that’s just gonna be fun um but I I I think I am most intrigued with Springer because I mean I’ve said it on all the free Agy stuff I think guard is a position that people are neglecting a little bit in terms of what the Celtics could need down the line because they’ve got perer but like holiday’s not getting any younger and then like once holiday retires you’re going to have I mean I guess you can play a little bigger and start Hower but like you’re going to need guard depth eventually in my opinion and so I I I think Springer is intriguing I I just like him as a prospect so anyways um I think that about does it for the summer league stuff um next thing from Adam himmelbach again uh coaches this isn’t like any actually there is some new news so um Sam Cassell is going to jump into Charles Lee’s spot as the head assistant boss auson uh DJ mlay Tony Dobbins Matt Reynolds are all going to move up a seat up up the line whatever um and then Celtics have hired two new uh Player Development and video coordinator SL video coordinator roles God sham God Jr and Deshawn Butler are gonna join the team sham God played for Missoula at Fairmont State and later coached with him there he spent this past season as assistant with the Delaware blue coachs and then Butler played with Missoula at West Virginia this is all per Adam h block thank you again shout out Adam I had a lengthy career overseas for getting into coaching was an assistant at West Virginia this past season um and yeah so new coaches new faces on the Celtics in God sham God Jr and deshun Butler uh while you talk I’m GNA pull up some of their highlights just because I think that’d be fun too showed Providence God sham God senior played there um it’s it’s good to see the guys that were around last year around years before kind of move up a little bit glad to see Sam casselle get promoted with from within it really shows some good loyalty to the coaching staff that Boston already has it’s nice to see him back I know there were rumors that he was going to go to Milwaukee to join doc as an assistant or perhaps take that Lakers job glad none of those things happen I think Cassell was a big part of you know some of the well all right or try this again comment section everyone comment comment uh uh I don’t know fireworks down below comment something stupid so Sam is like really confused when he comes back because he can’t hear me right now because he lagged out um but yeah go comment something funny so he’s very confused go comment uh yeah fireworks

season his dad’s with the Mavericks so you’re stealing a little maybe saw which his dad’s doing in Dallas was like I want some of that I can’t find any of Junior’s highlights because whenever I type when I type in God sham God Junior highlights it’s just all God sham God highlights um but Deshawn Butler highlights I wonder if I can find any of that um sure you go find some deep NC tournament games oh no but I found Deshawn Butler knee injury oh no need to pull that up that’s the first thing that comes up disaster I wonder if Joe was on the court uh I don’t think I see him poor gu anyways okay yeah uh oh he had a buzzer beater sha Butler Banks game-winning three to send West Virginia University to semis oh it’s like OG Sports Center look at this check this out chat you remember these Graphics oh baby Bill Clinton Bill Clinton out the game man look at this quality look what we’re getting here okay we don’t need to watch the whole thing just just come on what are we here for okay here we go 51 to 51 is crazy is that Lance Stevenson it sure is it’s Lance Stevenson DeShaun Butler oh no the bank to send West Virginia to the semis of the T Big East tournament this is such low quality I can’t even find Joe excuse me yeah had no idea he had 15 and six in this game Des Butler did excuse me Beast uh yeah but he’s gonna coach the Celtics come and hang out with his his forward teammate him God sham God and then like I mentioned per himl spach mlay Dobbins rolds all essentially moving up a seat I do wonder who will jump to the front of the bench now that Charles Lee is gone though because there will be a spot up there if I had to guess Craig luciette maybe him maybe they bring somebody else in uh but Craigs I think has seniority on the back row um if I am doing my math correct however speaking of the back row Germaine Buckner is leaving the Celtics Germaine buckler Buckner excuse me and uh Blaine Miller uh uh bla Miller excuse me of the g-league main Celtics he’s with the team once The g- League season ended both are going to Charlotte with Charles Lee I’m very sad I was I I love Buck like me and buck became pretty good friends he always came up to me and the other like behind the bench people um was very nice genuinely like I know I say this a lot like I said about probably the nicest guy in the entire organization Jermaine Buckner like like just the nicest human you’ll ever meet in your life always kind always funny always hanging out just always [ __ ] with people like messing around with the players like they’re having fun like him and uh tomman like from the moment tomman got there were just battling and [ __ ] around like after what did you say crayon hands crayon hands um exactly after the finals um after the press conferences Buck was just like out on the court like saying it went up to him said hello and obviously this is like the biggest moment of his life probably like winning a championship whatever yours yeah was sick sh your best but I was talking to him like it was me and Noah went over like hey congratulations and he just like took the time he goes nah I don’t think you understand how much we appreciate like the work you guys do like it’s awesome thank you and we’re like bro you like he W just won an NBA championship and he took it was like yeah you guys are awesome like [ __ ] you’re awesome what do you mean like you just won a title like genuinely like this the nice person as soon as I saw buck in the video uh of Charlie like working in Charlotte I texted Noah and I was like Noah look at the yellow Penny she goes no no no [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] um because love Buck man Buck’s awesome sucks that he’s gone CTIC lost like genuinely an awesome person I wrote a whole feature on Buck for Celtics blog about he was like a god in Germany like he is just the greatest player in an organization’s history over there which is insane he had like meetings with the mayor because of how impactful he was it’s insane it’s insane story go read it just if you type in Germaine Buckner Google I think it’s like first thing that comes up so um go type it in you can see it um it’s German league Legend to something something else um Boston stic assistant coach but yeah losing Buck losing bla Miller blade Miller also awesome guy I didn’t get the chance to know him as well because he was with the G League the whole year but no one knows him well he’s awesome um so losing two good coaches shout out Buck man I I love [ __ ] so much I’m so s I’m like genuinely really really sad yeah I mean you can understand the sadness But ultimately hopefully it leads to good success for both those guys coach Miller I remember being there after they lost that g-league final and he was gutted he loved those guys and it really kind of spoke to me as to what kind of person he was like I did a whole article about you know G League Celtics lose the title but they really were winners anyway because it felt like a lot of improvement within the team happened throughout That season and that wouldn’t happen without coach you know he was there all the time working with those guys encouraging them and he was taking questions from everybody like I really didn’t have anything to say to those guys because I felt bad that was the first time I’d ever been to a game as a press guy when it was actually a loss not used to that with the Celtics team so I didn’t know how to behave I was like I’ll just observe I’ll film the stuff so I have it for later um but no he really cared about the work that everybody that was there was doing so I really respected that about him and I wish the both of them luck and Charlotte I also I I did hear from Beyond you that buck is awesome so you know can can confirm I also don’t know for sure but in The Hornet’s official thing it lists him as an assistant coach not a Player Development coach so it looks like maybe he got a promotion uh in the general like landscape of NBA jobs so shout out Buckman I’m so happy for him I I’m like I’m GNA Market on the calendar like I cannot wait for the Hornets to come to Boston now just so I can see Jan Buckner like you’re the only person I no no not at all like you don’t understand how much people love this corales has talked about it how much I love this guy Noah’s like everyone like just genuinely the coolest [ __ ] guy on the planet shout up Buck I ah I’m genuinely really sad that he’s gone um also have you know the videos going around of like Oh Derek white trickshot whatever you remember those so Derek white every single practice did a trick shot with the coaches like they just all did trick shots jermine Buckner just always won just always like here let me pull this up every time there was a trick shot almost every time it was just yeah Buck wins like just buck make it so here we go ready so this trick shot on this day in Cleveland was what was it it was you have to go over the rim bounce it and then has to go in it has to it has to bounce back yep so Buck goes and just bang and context everyone was trying the trick shot for like 15 minutes Buck had been trying for like 5 minutes at this point he like came over halfway through and just made it um there’s this one where this was another one where he had just come over this one was you have to bounce one in and then make it and on his like whatever try bang bang easy um who would win in a trick shot contest Buck or Margaret smart Buck that’s like a dream dream matchup buck buck he was like unnecessarily good at the trick shots uh yeah shout out Buck I’m I’m I’m really sad all right email time our reminder as always you guys can email us at hbtc pod atgmailcom with your thoughts we read the emails on every single podcast full length podcast three times a week uh let’s see what y’all have to say if I stop getting a pop-up ad from grammarly I can kick on it click on it uh one email today just RJ hanging out with us shout out RJ uh with the good news a bit of History even in folks what an incredible two days of the SS doing the right things I never knew free agent sigic could have an Afterglow I got to thinking about the last time the Celtics won a championship in 2008 do you recall that a lot of folks thought the big three would be good but not might wi might not win it their first year true fact uh and it wasn’t the yammering chatter heads we have now but veteran reporters who were skeptical about how quickly an imported team could coales into a title team me off um the next season much of the championship Squad returned with only Cassell Brown Pard and posie moving on they posted a 62 and 20 regular season record but lost in the second round to the Orlando Magic and Dwight Howard because they were unable to close without kg in 2010 while Tony Allen Eddie house and Glenn Davis remained for their championship roster their minutes dwindled to nothing as the finals ground a seven game uh the spark from 2008 was flickering and finally snuffed out when Danny traded Kendrick Perkins away The Following Season team still won but the magic had gone away the current Squad well I’d argue that last year was their version of Kevin gett getting in as christops only played 57 games the same as 0809 kg and appeared in only seven of the Celtics 19 playoff games but even with those limitations the Celtics brought home Banner 18 because they were prepared to win each game in its own fashion instead of losing members by the team of the team by attrition they’re back and ready to build on their camaraderie and experience and knowledge for one another even the Celtics will be without porzingis for the first two months of the season I believe they’ll be stronger than the last year’s squad one final bit of History Bill Russell won his first championship with the Celtics in his first season playing only 48 of the 72 games the reason he missed the third of the Season he was been busy winning an Olympic medal in Melbourne Australia in November and December be well RJ it is miraculous how identical the Celtics roster is going to be next year like that that is not a normal thing at all like if anything it’s going to be hilarious to see like shyman Anton Watson and whoever else they bring in be like like be like like the new guys usually there’s like a group of new guys no there’s be like two [ __ ] new people and everyone else is gonna be the same it’s gonna be funny I mean you saw last season how much specifically in the playoffs the Nuggets missed their veteran guys like Bruce Brown not being there Jeff Green not being there really caught up to them when they had to rely on Christian Brown a little bit more than they anticipated had to lean into pton Watson a little bit more and ultimately they went crashing out in the second round now it’s not those guys fault but when you start pulling pieces out of the Jenga Tower eventually it’s going to collapse now you look at Denver they just lost kcp and they have even more holes to plug the Celtics well they may run out of time not having any Jenga plugs pulled from their Tower they’re still uh delaying that they they have pushed it back the process at least a year from what they’ve done for sure um shout out Brad man it’s incredible how much they brought back and how man just cooking perpet same the team is GNA be well maybe he’s grilling because it’s it’s early July got to fire up the grill true grilling overrated so unbelievably overrated in what sense you don’t like eating the grilled food or you don’t like doing it I’d rather just cook it on a stove would taste better it’s it’s less from for a if I’m cooking a burger I’d rather make a Smash Burger on a stove than grill burgers same thing with chicken same thing with everything I like the chicken on the grill I can see what you mean with the burger it’s just too easily [ __ ] up burnt and overcooked h how on grills for Vibes good look at Good Vibes being outside grilling fine Vibes in terms of if I want to eat the best meal overrated we’ll get to you ever grow corn no the lady grilled up some corn prob last week yeah probably good you know what else Works [ __ ] boil it it’s probably pretty good too uh I think the grilled corn is better girl’s overrated anyways NBA section um buddy hee officially sent to the Golden State Warriors uh Warrior set back in 2031 Mavs pick I think it is I think it’s just the Klay Thompson thing they got back but buddy held’s a warrior and I will say they’ve done a pretty good job of replacing Klay Thompson Klay Thompson brought a bunch of guys who might be able to give them what Klay gave them Klay Thompson Chris Paul out you get back DeAnthony Melton Kyle Anderson buddy hee pretty good you’ve done a pretty good job uh yeah buddy heeld and Steph Curry are number one and number two um Steph first obviously by like a 100 and then buddy heeld second in total threes and eight over the last five seasons like if there was a team buddy heeld would probably be good on Warriors shoot a bunch of Threes like probably gonna be good for him I think this Warriors team’s gonna be pretty good I think they’ll probably hover around the play in barring a substantial developmental jump from psky and dor kaminga but they’ve done a good job replacing the talent they lost in clay budy heal’s a part of that I saw a meme of uh the Lamborghini at the trailer park and someone was like yeah uh yeah I mean they’re doing the best they can I feel like when you have situations like this it usually goes worse than you think it’s going to go probably like just thinking back of course the first example I think of is like Celtics related but like Ry Allen leaves they bring in Jason Terry and like team’s just not quite what it used to be um KD leaves the Warriors they bring in DLo team kind of sucks like they’re they’re trying to plug holes and I understand that this time they’re doing it more based on fit like they brought in guys that shoot DeAnthony Melton’s a pretty good two-way guy but ultimately those guys are going to lack the chemistry that Klay had with Steph Curry with Draymond with other players that have been there for substantial amounts of time it’s going to take time to rebuild we just talked about how important the continuity is on this successful Celtics team well the Warriors are starting a little bit in the hole in that respect but doesn’t mean they can’t be good I just am more like skeptical of of what we’re going to see from Golden State this year they could be good like pods could really be the guy that is ultimately the clay replacement that were kind ofing buddy heeled and pitching Mountain to be Kyle Anderson is a winning player too he played a really good Ro for the Timberwolves this year when they everybody was crowning them NBA champions two rounds in the playoffs so there is no denying that these are solid moves from the Warriors but do I think it’s going to fill the void and and prevent the inevitable collapse not really but buddy Hill W said he picked the Golden State Warriors over the Lakers because he wanted to compete oh really yeah where’d you see that he had a he had a choice to join the Lakers I saw it on Reddit I forget what where it was sourced from but it was it was an official like statement quote whatever me see if interesting I wonder why I don’t get that I think I’d rather for Buddy heel I might rather be on the Lakers yeah I mean he’s been connected to the Lakers for years like remember when they we like let’s go get Russ instead no yeah yeah I mean he was literally traded to Lakers and then it did go through um cool anyways yeah buddy heeld is a warrior next thing deard Rosen has been linked to the Sacramento Kings uh this is from W the Kings and the Bulls have had sign and trade talks surrounding deard de Rosen um the rozen is officially moving on from Chicago with no scenario for exciting Chicago is not willing to take on large cheries and potential deals so a third team has to be involved now I don’t know what the third team would be I’m not going to get into the weeds of like oh be the third team what could happen ET ET Etc D rozan fit on the Kings I like I’m in I I don’t hate it I think it makes sense you can get him in there as a probably secondary scoring option zamas simus doesn’t really have to focus as much at scoring as he can with rebounding playmaking all that other stuff he does really really [ __ ] well um and then D rozan come in be a bucket for them when he needs to be play solid defense and that’s about it hopefully hit down is open knock down his open threes I mean if you’re rolling out a lineup of let’s say dein Carter gets a start I don’t know if he will but like I’m just going to plug him in uh Darren Fox Devin Carter D rozan keeg and Mar sabonis that’s that’s a pretty good team that’s a pretty damn good team so I like the fit I I think for as much as I crop on players like Demar D rozan and Brendan Ingram they fit well in the right scenarios and I mean we’re talking about a guy 24 four and five last year on 4833 if the Kings can get him for pretty much nothing in a s trade that’s a damn good job so yeah it’d probably be like Harrison Barnes another thing but at that point like d rozen’s an upgrade for whatever they got going on at the point like I think it’s a good fit even though he’s old 34 going to be 35 for all next season not the Bulls player we thought was going to end up with Sacramento no but I kind of I almost like this better because it lines up with the is dear and fox gonna resign ET ET not gonna be a long Tri actually sign a trade would have to be at least a three-year deal so keep that in mind they would have to sign him to a three-year contract yeah I mean if you’re Sacramento you kind of have to do this with the fox decision looming over the franchise’s head because how often as the Kings do you get a player like like Fox to be on your team through the draft not very often so if he’s kind of indecisive whether or not he wants to be on your team going forward you probably do what you can to appease him and without absolutely gutting your roster as Jack read from the W quote Chicago is not really looking to take back big salaries so you don’t have to gut your team out too too much to bring them in um with that being said Barnes is probably not going to be there who has been a integral part of their team ever since they kind of resurfaced as a I don’t want to say contender but a legitimate playoff piece or of the West a competent basketball team yes a competitive team um but D rozan will fill that void and he gives you a little bit more of the bucket getting style that Barnes kind of had when he left the Warriors like he went to Dallas and he was doing pretty good work as a semi- primary guy then he ends up in Sacramento and he’s able to take a little bit of a back seat but D rozan will definitely be an upgrade for them I’d be interested to see how works out I actually like that fit a lot for D rozan and the king so i’ yeah I’d be very intrigued to see uh next thing another Lori Market an update we talked about it last episode of uh he could be being shopped apparently the Warriors have a deal on the table or they have offered it it’s from Tony Jones of the athletic golden state has an offer on the table and it’s substantial for Lori Markin I think offers are heavily pick based what complicates it is the Warriors only have two unprotected picks plus the protected first rounder other Reports say that Miami is ALS oh this is just you other Reports say Miami is also interested marketing uh Miami’s interest makes sense I think the Warriors would be so fun you’d have to imagine be like Wiggins those in those three picks and probably had enough to get the Jazz to bite maybe have to throw a Moses moody maybe have to throw whatever I mean if you could roll out Steph Curry Brandon pimpy we’ll say kaminga green marinan and then you run green at the center that’s a huge really good lineup like Curry psky marinan kuminga Draymond that is fun that is really good that’s probably a playoff team in the Washington conference the issue is Markin is going to be a free agent after this year any team that trades for him probably needs to be like okay Lori you’re gonna resign right you’re gonna be back right or else you’re taking a huge risk um we talked about potential Landing spots but I think Miami obviously makes sense too I mean I would dis like that as a Celtics guy but um yeah Golden State I think is super fun I think Golden State’s got a little bit of a center problem on their hands just as we like discuss the potential lineups like I know they still have Looney it kind of feels like in this situation Draymond would have to be the bench guy you don’t always have to like have a TR Center yeah but like then you kind of lack some size I know you have switch ability and D but draymond’s not like who Draymond quite used to be he’s not but I think he played a decent amount of Center last year let me double check they were a great team last year yeah obviously they could have been better I think they definitely need to add size but I don’t think it necessarily needs to be drad off the bench um where is this position tab uh control and you don’t want it to be Kingo off the bench because you’ve already had the weird no Dynamic of him wanting a bigger role and wanting yeah he 70% Center I guess I don’t know I think you can get away with it um play small ball because like you can run a lot of Trace Jackson Davis you can run a lot of whatever other Center you decide to sign like ly and stuff but you can just start out with whatever look you want just you have to start I like Davis closing lineups like do what OKC did with hartstein like you can probably run a lot of I know chat’s obviously a lot bigger than Draymond but like you can run a lot of X lineups but if you need somebody to guard yic and you get a big guy like hardenstein to come in guard yic guard a beid guard whoever um I I don’t know I like Markin in for them um but speaking of the heat apparently there’s only one guy in the entire he organization who understands the CVA and there might not be many people around the league who understand um what it is uh this is from Ethan scolnick of five reason Sports which is a local Miami uh outlet but this is The Grand Point okay I think it has to be resolved here in the NBA it appears that a lot of Agents do not understand the CBA and I’ve been told by people inside the heat that really only one person on their side understands it like one person in the league and it happens to be Andy ellisburg like no one gets the ca no one gets it at all which is so funny it’s like players don’t get it ownerships doesn’t get it front officers don’t get it who the [ __ ] signed off on this you know what my favorite part of the new CBA was is they literally dropped it I think it was like four days or three days before free agency last year like they they Unleashed a nuke on the NBA media on the NBA front offices around the league with the CBA and then this CBA is just essentially out there just to ruin everybody’s life because now if you didn’t already have a good team and you were paying guys you’re forced to kind of start from scratch because it’ll be impossible for you to bring in Talent if you’re in the front office you’re expected to understand this apparently no one does in in Miami sounds like they’re really struggling to understand it does make sense because they do lead the league in photoshops they love saying the heat are getting this guy he are getting that guy heer interested in Donan Mitchell he resides in Cleveland heer interested in Lori marinin well riddle me this CBA how the [ __ ] are you GNA figure that one out yeah I don’t know I think they could do a sign not a sign trade but they like trade somebody for Lori Walkin like they could definitely do a trade for him like Duncan Robinson for Lori makes sense like there there’s there’s Avenues but I don’t know how true it is that only like one team or one guy in the whole front office side of the league understands the CBA but from an Outsiders perspective Miami only having one guy that understands the C CBA has to be like the NBA version of like not knowing how to read like as a franchise like that that’s what it feels like a little bit probably not ideal um all right Sam what is this dumb [ __ ] that you have put on the sheet about Zion Williamson so I was scrolling Reddit today sure and I saw that some Reddit scientist fan of the scientific method did some experimenting not experimenting did some research into how our heavy boy performs based on the quality of the food in each City in which he plays it so the results are up on Reddit I’m currently making a note in the sheet so I don’t have the post right in front of me uh standby all righty uh I can pull up the post if you want to read off my screen okay I have okay post reads I Zion Williamson’s performance in every NBA City to see if there is a correlation between his game score in the city’s restaurant ranking this comes from user minimum hyphen conference 61 user writes everyone in NBA circles knows about Zion’s struggle with weight and as portrayed by the media this made me curious to see if a city’s quality of restaurants affects Zion’s game score steps firstly I created a restaurant ranking for all NBA cities in which I combine the restaurant rankings for NYC and Brooklyn excluded Toronto because most rankings are for the United States only secondly I went through all of Zion’s game logs on basketball reference then I entered all the away away games into a Google spreadsheet with the location of the away cities and the game score for that given game thirdly the user entered every City’s restaurant ranking alongside its location and game score for whichever games were played in that City then finally they created a scatter plot for each of Zion’s season which included in a away game with the city’s restaurant ranking in Zion’s game score in that game the conclusion of the experiment the the the research in over four years of Zion games in which he has a significant injury that keeps him out hold on this is written very strange standby so I’m going to this word for word in conclusion over Zion four years of playing games in the NBA in Seasons which he has a significant injury that keeps out more than 50% of the Season there is a correlation between a city having better restaurants and Zion playing better and vice versa but in years which Zion plays over 75% of the game so when he’s healthy there is no significant correlation either way so when you have Slim’s eye on basically is what this user has found like we saw this season where he got bullied so bad after coming out in that semifinal in Vegas out of shape he got himself into shape and when he plays over 75% of the games doesn’t matter so much hey you know what this [ __ ] tells me when he’s not hurt for a lot of games he probably plays better no [ __ ] [ __ ] this is this is no duh this is this he he he did the whole I that’s what this says in games that he doesn’t like it’s BAS saying I I don’t know it it sound reads to me in years he plays over 75% of the game is nor correlation probably just means he’s more consistent like probably just means he’s more consistent when he is healthy the whole time it is a really weird variable to like also aside the charts if there is a correlation I just looked at them you’re reaching it is don’t say me I didn’t make post I know but this person like look at these charts look at these charts 1920 restaurant rating good his game score is worse this is like a 10 game sample and he’s a rookie I’m not you know what I’m saying like sure this one bro look at this chart are you seeing this there there’s nothing here this is all completely like all over the place looks like the sky when there’s no clouds out there at night look at this maybe I guess because like these two were bad but like in the M this is nothing look look at this year there this is nothing this is absolutely nothing this guy you know what this is this guy wasted a lot of his time this is absolutely nothing there is zero correlation there nothing look at how flat almost all of these lines are look look at look at all these lines there they go like maybe 15 degrees brother you wasted your time G get a job touch grass get a job is mean I’m sorry that’s so bad I wouldn’t wish that on any bro this dude listen listen listen listen this listen to this this dude spent hours of his life hours of his life trying to prove haha Zion fat just to be wrong embarrassing embarrassing tragic he tried to be the Harden strip club guy and didn’t quite do do the job no because there’s no correlation he tried to [ __ ] idiot [ __ ] yeah no nothing there those charts are bogus uh all right quickly before the rout list let’s catch up uh on if we’ve missed any free agent signings I don’t think there’s been much um FR EXT we’ve done it fron Vagner has extended on a five-year Max contract with the magic this is true um so there is that outside of that other free agent signing sense should look through here let’s see um again I been too too much though there is no recent it’s just all like go through we did the magic bigs wner and and uh Goa um Shake Milton was a part of the sign in trade uh for male Bridges so he’s gonna be a net now and he signed a new three-year deal to join the Nets excuse me so there’s that um Alex Len or excuse me Alex Burks signed with the heat so there’s a new heat guy to be really good and be Anno oh he’s gonna be heat guy yes uh past that Thomas Bryant re with the heat oh Germaine Samuels that’s cool local guy he’s from like sounds over for me J samels um uh I think I think that’s it there wasn’t much else Chris D to the clippers but we knew that a long time ago but still um all right cool Damien Lee to the Suns oh tan Prince to the Box excuse me is’s another new one uh and I think that does all right ratas Sam what you got for me ratas seaweed I hate seaweed I went I went out to the vineyard yesterday uh with the lady for the fourth and she loves the beach the beach is amongst her favorite things neither one of us are Beach guys for what it’s worth don’t like the beach if you like the beach you like the beach what are you gonna do Beach sucks beach beach is golfing without golf that’s the all the beaches Beach is golfing with no activity Beach is golfing but just sit there just be in the hot okay it golfing with less clothes and and less activity yeah it’s golfing but you just it’s golfing but if I just go sat in a [ __ ] bunker for five hours why would I want to do that why would I want that who why I think I think you’re really trying to make this about golf I love golf so much um but anyways we go in the water and there’s just this wall of seaweed you got to get past before you get out to like the smooth sand that’s another thing I don’t like up by the beach is the the sand before you actually get into the water has like all [ __ ] in it like shells and rocks shs and rocks and you’re stepping on all that you don’t know what you’re you’re walking into I don’t mind the water like I I’ll go in the water football around C cold is bad seaweed ruins it obviously if there was just like a thing where it was all water and no beach it’d be great oh wait it’s a [ __ ] pool just go to a pool why why would you ever want to just go anyways but yeah so we went out there just gross ass seaweed it was a red seaweed too I hate the red seaweed all seaweed sucks there’s not even any like cartoonish value to that at least like when there’s seaweed and cartoons it’s green the red one is just like creepy looking I always assume there’s something living in there too like I think I’m gonna walk through it and get got by a crab probably is there’s definitely [ __ ] living in there sucks it’s bad very bad uh Rat lless myself so I shocker I played golf today uh second hobby I love it some of the Rish just become Jack’s Jack talks about going golfing it’s phenomenal go I’m gonna Golf and I’m golfing against Sunday so be ready baby um I hope it rains I will say it did rain for like two holes today I um played really well today for my standards like if I break a 100 I’m happy with my day I ruined it though cuz the the I went all day all day I only had one seven on the scorecard so I was all like six and unders on every other which is really or maybe two SS really good day for me what’s the average par at your course five four it’s not good for I’m saying for my standards par is like 70 context par is like 72 and I’m happy if I break a 100 like you know what I’m saying like standards you think you’d be better at golf no I’m like no absolutely not it’s uh under breaking a 100 is like like good for a bad golfer if that makes sense you know what I’m saying like it is breaking 100 is the golf version of the pat Bev celebrating on the scorers table in the playin kind of I mean you know barol you know Trent right they did a whole series Breaking a 100 I you know I’m not watching I’m not sitting here watching do you know who that is though do you know who barol Trent is is he play thing yes yes they did a whole series for him breaking 100 then one breaking 90 like that’s like the standard like for bad to average golfers um and I shot a 96 today so I was pretty good I felt like it felt good all day and and part of it is just like it feels good 18th tall I got a nine not good yeah oh my God you want to talk about a joke literally I could have got like a 93 like my best score ever is a 91 so I could have like had my best score ever um I had a good first shot laid up my second shot then I went in the water or the [ __ ] had to drop then I missed the green went back in the sand then I couldn’t get out of the sand it was I just made a whole mess of it but my day was not as bad as my friend Mike’s day Mike is another guy moving in with in September one of my friends uh Mike did not have a good day well let me phrase Mike had a great first nine he played well got his hopes exactly and then like three holes into the back nine it all fell apart and by the top so we finished the 17th hole of 18 obviously and Mike gets so mad he just drops the ball behind the green and just swings and just like blasts the ball into the woods like he’s just like like it’s the equivalent of I took a driver right here and just smashed into my computer he just chucked into the woods like like full on just hit it full into the woods he goes that was the best contact I made all day he’s just like heading hand it’s like man and I’m again I’m golfing again on Sunday and you have like custom golf balls that you use so you know it’s yours uh I just like take a sharpie and write a little Jay on mine but there’s like different brands and you say oh I’m playing this brand playing this brand playing this brand yeah I guess you can’t invest because you’re afraid you’re gonna lose them yeah my balls are also or excuse me my clubs are also like really bad for me this is like getting way too into the golf terminology but like my clubs are really like skinny so there’s not a lot of um like the face of the club is like like the width of my phone there’s not a lot of service area if you hit the ball no not even it’s like the the width of it is a blade whatever so there’s not a lot of forgiveness like like there there’s clubs that are like have like a little back on it so it’s like a fatter Club so there’s more forgiveness there’s more leniency but mine are really old and they were gifted to me so like I and I’m not I’m not like the point of a blade is so you can control it better and like put spin on it and shut I I can’t [ __ ] spin the ball that’s just like useless to me um but I need new clubs and uh I’m not ponying up new clubs new golf clubs are expensive I run you a grand yeah right just play basketball ball cost you $60 yeah I I have I do I do both I was gifted to these clubs I didn’t pay for these clubs rat list Frank um today today I I wouldn’t completely call it raged off Xbox but I raged off Xbox for like the first time time in probably like five years no three three years I think I was still doing 2K leagu probably three years ago so we’re playing pro clubs on FIFA and Frank and I are running a break two onone and Frank recognizes that it is time to make the pass and Frank does make the pass however Frank hits the wrong button and [ __ ] does a cross makes my
