Is linked to the Boston Celtics all of that and more on this episode of Celtics digest I’m Bruce FZ before we dive in on all this great buyout news revolving around the team 70 70% of our viewers are not subscribed and would appreciate if you guys hit that big old red

Celtics news as we explore talking about UT Porter Jr being the final roster spot potentially for this squad now as I mentioned in the introduction today is the deadline for players to get bought out by specific teams and still have eligibility to play in the playoffs if a
Player is to be bought out after today they will not be able to play for that team in the playoffs but players can be signed up to the last day of the regular season therefore if you see some players get bought out in the next couple hours
And you do not see them sign for the next couple days that is totally fine they can wait in free agency and await what is happening make their best decision and join the team that they feel is best but the Celtics who do have their roster spot open and we
Potentially waiting for a guy to be freed up to help out the A spot that they’re looking for AO Porter Jr could be that guy if we want to dive in look at this tweet from Evan Cedar he says that OT Porter Jr is likely to agree on
A buyout with the Utah Jazz before the March deadline Porter has been away from Utah evaluating all his potential options and multiple title contending teams are expected to pursue Auto Porter Jr now obviously he was traded in that kellyo Lin deal kind of taken away from
The Raptor to Utah as he just didn’t fit their way of building as they’re going to a rebuild Auto PR junor and aging vet didn’t really necessarily fit their timeline and in Utah they’re in the similar boat therefore they don’t want to keep a guy like uto Jr on that roster
He wants to find him well himself to a contender and find his way to helping that Contender compete now late last night there was some Rumblings in a deleted tweet from Evan cider saying that the Celtics were possibly linked to nailing Auto Porter Jr and that is what
Going be breaking down today as we saw more and more treats come out related to that we have a tweet from Celtics unite saying that the Celtics are top contenders to sign Auto Porter Jr when the Jazz buy him out we also have another tweet from NBA stream saying
That uto Porter Jr is expected to sign with the Celtics or Clippers once he is bought up by the Utah Jazz unfortunately I did not be I could not get a screenshot of this Evans Seer retweet because it was deleted two or three minutes after in my personal opinion I
Think that auto Porter Jr since he hasn’t been bought out they don’t want the leaks coming out and that tweet came out a little too soon as aut Porter junr probably didn’t feel the comfortability and those teams also didn’t feel the comfortability once we see UT Porter Jr
Hit the market which I do believe he will hit it today we will see the of course we will see the aftermath of the Celtics and other teams being interested possibly the Los Angeles Clippers I saw the Phoenix Suns as well possibly being interested but let’s dive in and kind of
Look at how otter Porter Jr could help out this squad if he potentially is that 15th guy we want to look at Oto reporter stats we can see he’s averaging 2.6 points 1.9 total rebounds and 0.5 assists on 42% shooting from the field 35% shooting from three and 100%
Shooting from the free throw now as we may know we most famously known ano Porter Jr for getting one of the successful bag claims in NBA history securing a Max contract with the Chicago Bulls and not paying out obviously he did torch the Boston Celtics with the
Golden State Warriors playing a great a great veteran minim great veteran role for that Warriors championship team and being a stretch three sl4 be able to be able to guard up guys like Jason tum and Jaylen brown but also be able to knock down that Trey Ball unfortunately he’s
One he was one of the Catalyst that LE led the Celtics to not win their NBA championship and that is kind of how I have feelings for him obviously after that season last year with the Raptors he got injured and this year he didn’t really play that much with the Raptors
Because they didn’t really necessarily need him they wanted to play their young guys he didn’t really fit into their rotation so a guy like OT Porter Jr hasn’t been able to show his showcase his skills really this year and he’s getting a little bit older in age with
Some aging injuries therefore I think auto porter J could be a decent fit for the Boston Celtics playing that power forward SL small forward position could be you know another Sam Hower insurance esque guy but in my honest opinion I don’t necessarily think that he is the
Perfect fit for the Boston Celtics let me know what you guys think on the comment section Down Below on your thoughts about OT Porter Jr but in my personal opinion with the Aging of him I know he’s only 30 years old but he’s getting a little bit older and the fact
That he has had some injuries to his ACL and to some knee areas with him experiencing a little bit more of age I don’t know if he’s going to be moving at the right step that he was with the Golden State Warriors and I don’t think
He’s going to be that effective of a score he could be an all right wing Defender help out in that regard but we have a guy like OA brassette that already is perfect in that role for the Boston Celtics high energy guy likes to get offensive rebounds and he is a
Little bit younger and I believe brings that extra mph that the Celtics need compared to a guy like Auto Porter Jr another guy that’s available on the buyout Market that got bought out last yesterday as well was Patty Mills who I saw people mention in the comments as
Well Patty Mills averaging 2.7 points 1.1 total rebounds on7 assists 37% shooting from the field and 38% shooting from three and my honest opinion I think the Celtics are totally fine with their guards and Payton Pritchard Drew holiday and Dereck white there’s no more room really for a guy in Patty Mills and
Patty Mills defense is just not as what we used to see in back of the day when he was true six-man or starting point guard Patty Mills on the San Antonio Spurs he has taken a step down significantly on his defensive side of the ball and in my personal opinion I
Don’t think he’s the fit either in my personal right I think that nameus kada should be the guy that the Celtics go up and get he’s already gotten some time with the Celtics we need some more front Court depth I know we got Xavier tman but having those bodies just in case a
Guy like Al Horford or Chris porzingis goes down is necessary for the Celtics and like we’ve mentioned and in the comments you’ve guys spoken the 15th man is going to be a guy that gets a lot of Praise we already see with the 13th and the 14th man with xabier tomman and
Jaden Springer that those guys barely get any run anyways so this 15th man is just some injury insurance and a player that is needs to fit in with the system we’ve already seen kada grow the system we’ve already seen him develop through the system so in my personal opinion I
Think he is the best fit but obviously it’s up to Brad Stevens he’s the main general manager and he is going to make the executive decision he obviously went out and got chrisop porzingis Drew holiday zavier tman jadden Springer he diced up this roster significantly from
Last year and he knows what he is doing best so he thinks bringing up namus K as that 15th guy to ensure the Boston Celtics and front Court depth is the best option then I’m totally going to side with it but if he feels that Otto
Porter Jr is going to bring some veteran experience to this Celtics Squad as a locker room piece and could you know be a wing depth help for the Celtics as we are a little bit weak in that position we have Jaylen Brown we have Jason Tatum who are our star sted players but
Obviously after that Sam Hower and O shab Bret are our main two win guys and consider Jordan Walsh as well but he goes up and down through the g-league he’s not going to be a steady guy for the playoffs so maybe a vet big or vet
Wing in Auto Porter Jr could be the right deal just to have as an extra body piece just in case we do have some injuries or if the Celtics want to run some different lineups with uto Porter Jr they could successfully use him but like I mentioned let me know in the
Comment section down below what you think of the potential signing of bringing utto Porter Jr to the Boston Celtics and what he could drastically do for this team in my honest opinion I’m not that moved by autor Jr if he comes to the squad I’m happy for him I want
Him to get a ring it’ be nice to see but if he doesn’t come to the squad and he goes to another Contender that is totally okay as well let’s bring up the guy in nameus kada thank you guys so much for tuning into this episode here

Hey Bruce! Great video! Keep it up! GO Cs! ☘️💚☘️💚☘️💚☘️
I love the Tandem of Derrick and Jrue, especially when their both HOT on offense & defense the same time. It would be great if they have TAG TEAM lineups Derrick & Jrue & Payton; Jaylen & Sam & Svi/ OTTO*; Jayson & Oshae; Alfred & Xavier; Kristaps & Neemias & Luke be well prepared. Better to have more players ready to play than not enough comfortably ready to play. Focus on all being more comfortable in a lineup than Derrick was in 2022. #BradStevens did a phenomenal job in constructing this #NBA roster. Derrick should be there go to primary ball handler in double BIG lineups and then when going small per matchup Jrue is primary! Finetune the lineups is what I hope he is working on with staff and players!
What can't you NOT understand that QUETA is NOT a guy that is ready for this year playoffs matchup
Sign him Celtics 18 is our year
What I’ve learned by now is that BRAD always does the unexpected when making his moves.. So I’m not buying in on any of these potential acquisitions names y’all throw out here.. I’ll continue to be patient and just let Brad final move speak for itself but I’m sure whoever fills our final roster slot will likely fit & complete our needs in more than one way 😉
If Otto Porter Jr healthy now why not he experience in playoffs & FINALS atmosphere
