Pls tell me no PP
We did something!
W!
He fucked the lakers the other night so he fits in!
Justin Jackson and 2 second founders
LET BRAD COOK
He’s 6’11 and shooting 39.4% from 3 it’s good enough I guess
League fucked
Justin Jackson and two 2nd rounders. Not bad. Good shooter at least.
Exciting but also scared to see who we are sending
Edit: justin Jackson. I can get behind that!
I was thinking he’d be a good pickup when they were playing the Lakers on Tuesday. Knockdown shooter with good size. Hell yeah.
Get one wing and we cooking with gas baby
Guy was DRAINING on Lebrons big night so I guess he’s not afraid of the moment lol
Perfect backup big. W
Big W that I don’t have to watch Justin Jackson play for us anywhere
The cost was “literally nothing” (Justin Jackson and two seconds) so even if this is a bust, it’s no harm no foul. If he can play 10 minutes a night and hit 2 3s a game? Sign me the hell up.
I’ve wanted Muscala for a few years now! Oh yeahhhh
Sneaky good move for a 10mpg player. He’ll hit three+ 3s in two+ playoff games. Fills a need. Let’s go win a ring.
[Nice call](https://www.reddit.com/r/bostonceltics/comments/10scsih/daily_discussion_thread_february_03_2023/j737af9/) /u/CarBallAlex I didn’t think the Thunder would move him.
Muscala has been a legit advanced stat darling the last couple years. His on/off’s the last 3 years: +12.1, +10.1, +10.4. I kind of question whether his defense is actually passable or it just looks good because he’s not Poku/Moses Brown etc but he can definitely shoot it
I don’t hate it, but it all depends on the cost. Our bench shooting looks to be vastly improved over last year – White, Brogdon, Hauser, Williams, and Muscala is solid
I was planning on them doing nothing so this is cool and getting rid of Jackson is a huge W lol, wonder if they would know try to get a wing with the package they offered for Poetl
He’s been legitimately good for years. Gave up nothing. Loooooove this move
Credit to whoever called this out the other day in the daily thread.
Love the move, he’s been killing it in OKC. Three straight years with an on-off above +10 and this year they’re +9.7 with him on the floor.
Justin Jackson haters rejoice
Excellent business on our end.
Shout out to whoever called this recently. I definitely saw someone say we should do this a few days ago.
Muscala’s net rating is like +9, league fucked now that we have another metric god
Danilo lite hell yea
Thunder fan here, take care of our Moose. Great shooter and better teammate, will miss him so much in OKC.
Now we have the Moose and the Buffalo
#Boston is sending Justin Jackson and two second-round picks to OKC for Mike Muscala, sources said.

He’s 31
Contract:
– this year – $3.5m
– next year – club option $3.5m
RIP to Luke Kornet’s minutes
Apparently his nickname is Moose…. a natural fit with…the Buffalo. LFG!
Looks like the Celtics are going to have to unretire #33
Now we wait for the Jrich buyout and it’s a great deadline
Brad really loves that Hawks team.
