I guess Kristaps gives Boston a replacement for Horford when he retires. But otherwise I don't see how he is what the Celtics need.

If KP is anywhere as disappointing as he was in Dallas, he's going to be slandered to hell and back in Boston

I'd rather have Brogdon than Porizingis although I guess Boston doesn't actually need a point guard since Tatum/Brown/Smart handle hte ball 90% of the time anyway.

I think it makes sense if you think about a Boston roster that's going to win the East and play against Denver in the Finals. You have to be an enormous team to match up vs MPJ/Gordon/Jokic in the front court, and Tatum/KP/Robert Williams does that. It lets Boston put KP on Jokic and have Williams roam weakside off AG.

We’re worried about Kristaps Porzingis’s defense this series - no coach ever

Kristaps is good at basketball. He's not the ball handling/rim protecting loving dynamo he was in NY before the injuries. But he's good and gives them a big body if they make the finals against Denver. https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1671619514021052417 Picks Also is Anjali Ranadivé the first professional pop star to GM a women's basketball team?

I guess I kinda feel like you can acquire some additional frontcourt size without dropping $36M for probably <60 games of KP

I was going to ask some kind of snarky question about the Clippers and why they think they need Brogdon but then I looked him up and he shot 44% from 3 last year? I guess I'm fine giving him 25 minutes a game.

I remain convinced that having Malcolm Brogdon come off the bench was cheating and the league forced the Celtics to make this trade because of that edit: I should note that it doesn’t actually break any official rules, it just feels like cheating, especially since it’s the Celtics

It should be illegal for them to force Smart on that many NBA viewers, he should be arrested every time he shoots a 3

For a second I thought that meant the Lakers traded for Brogdon

If they're extending porzingis makes you wonder what their long term plans are with Brown, how would they afford to supermax him?

Regardless, its doesn't really matter right now but will in 2 years. JT hasn't kicked in yet and brown wouldn't kick in until 24 I think. They could wait until 24 before even signing Brown.

The Glumslinger posted:I'm sure this time putting a small, offensive minded guard next to Dame will work well and lead to success So, Scoot is a solid defender, like all rookies will probably struggle, but dude has some defensive instincts. Problem is, that yeah, you are only going to be able to put him on other guards.

Wait does this mean the Clippers are giving up on Chris Paul (meaning he either stays in Washington or becomes a Laker, certainly)? Everything about this is kind of weird, especially with the Paul George rumors on top of it.

Probably but if Clippers really want Paul they can toss another couple logs (expiring-next-year buy-outable contracts) on the fire since this deal isn’t done yet.

Boston went out in transition the second most often in playoffs so I'm not sure how he works with that.

Porzingis doesn’t really seem to be the answer to Boston’s problems, especially with the stagnant iso ball they over-relied on in the playoffs. On the other hand, I like him so whatever.

This reminded me of a Dungeon World character I never got to play. The DM let me place the “huge” and “versatile” tags on my character’s fists, making them super strong and giving me extra range. I described the character as being the size of a power forward with hands twice the size of a normal NBA player’s. Basically Lebron with snow shovel sized hands. RIP, The Mustachioed Man-Handler.

Brad Stevens has earned the benefit of the doubt but yeah, this doesn't thrill me. This does mean derrick white will get more minutes which I am all about.

This seems like a gamble, the dunks and highlights are great but it seems like he's had opportunities to become more than that everywhere he's been and it hasn't really clicked. Undersized for frontcourt + not a lockdown perimeter defender + cannot hit consistently from distance =
