  1. I think the Celtics are doing something. For one Porzingis has already been a celtic for 3 months. Not that he has played a minute.

    And the Brogdon deal was done practically when the 2022 NBA finals expired.

    So for lack of a better term. I think the Celtics are double dipping. They go in with the (trade) chip in June-July. But then go back in Sept-Oct. Because the trade market could feasibly evolve in the offseason.

    So in summary I rather like this strategy.

  2. Glad we got him before someone else did

    Miami was definitely not getting Jrue they didn’t have enough on the table

  3. Brad is the best GM in all of sports. This guy is a genius. I’d let this dude have my kids if it was possible. The way he runs this team is incredible.

  4. Jrue Holiday will be very useful in the playoffs and championships. He will properly organize the team's offense. Hero ball games of JT and JB must be controlled to avoid many turnovers. Turnovers killed the Celtics chance to win the championship against Golden State.

  5. Tatum should learn from Pierce rather than Kobe in terms of recognizing spots & using shifty pace as well as drawing fouls. Pierce also had way higher crunch time FG% than Kobe. Stevens as a GM made a lot of good moves in last 2 years but the Brogdon+ trade package for Porzingis that failed was really his first bitter taste, & got lucky when Holiday became available. It seemed he got screwed by the LAC for baiting him for the trade then open to the media to screw it so Brogdon got angry while other teams generally would back away from it.
