he gets an insane amount of steals for a bigman, hes averaging 1 in only 15mins a game, if you extrapolate that to starters minutes he would be... leading the nba! (and he would be second in blocks)
― lag∞n, Saturday, 27 February 2021 03:20 (three years ago) link
yeah overall he has a really good activity level and he usually channels his activity in positive ways. i think his passing could really help too, he's happy to move the ball and about once a game he'll make a wow pass

he can do stuff he makes plays hes not tristan thompson give the guy a shot

i have never figured out the difference between jay king and jared weiss, any guidance is appreciated
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 27 February 2021 03:28 (three years ago) link
weiss is a lil bit more nerdy and king is more jocky i think, like weiss writes stories for the athletic that have play diagrams in them where king writes stories for the athletic that have quotes about playing harder in them, but yeah very similar guys
― lag∞n, Saturday, 27 February 2021 03:31 (three years ago) link
ok that helps, feel like i've seen a couple of nice pieces on celtics xs and os so those must have been weiss. robb i know because he's dabbled in radio and other stuff and i think he's a reasonably sharp observer of the team in general. happy he's now at masslive where i can read him.

As a new Athletic subscriber this season I’ve been really pleasantly surprised by the quality of their coverage, especially Weiss. I had/have the impression he was hired off one of the blogs and was expecting him to basically be Kevin O’Connor but he’s a way better writer

xp maybe worth it if you need deep semi-contrarian patriots coverage but those days are behind me

Paul Pierce had his money on Kevin Garnett. The rest of the Celtics, including Doc Rivers, thought differently. That turned out to be a big mistake.The lesson they all learned that day - don't bet against the Big Ticket! 😤 pic.twitter.com/iekOCJTytI— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) February 28, 2021

Was just coming to post about that! Story is from Scalabrine on the Lowe Post from Friday. Worth a listen, 80% of it is on the current Celts and then a little bit on the 2008 team. Scal’s description of the arm wrestling match is gold too, how KG wore big baby down psychologically (unsurprisingly)

put together your big package for collins then get harrison barnes for more or less a salary dump, something like that, my plan for building a celtics contender

x post from the main thread for the true celtics heads
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 21:44 (three years ago) link
the beauty of trading for collins is he makes $4m so matching salaries is no problem, then you have the tpe for another player, this assumes celtics ownership is willing to go deep into the luxury for the foreseeable future
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 21:47 (three years ago) link
where as if you put together a big package for aaron gordon you get only one player
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 21:48 (three years ago) link
going all in with john collins is a really tough call for me. i haven’t decided on it yet.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 2 March 2021 00:58 (three years ago) link
he's a borderline all-star at a position that is at a v high premium, the Big Wing
― class project pat (m bison), Tuesday, 2 March 2021 01:01 (three years ago) link
he’s a good player and i feel like they could figure out how to hide him on defense but if you do it that’s your team and you better be making really serious playoff runs.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 2 March 2021 01:10 (three years ago) link
one name i heard for the celtics that is not sexy but would be super helpful is evan fournier.
collins and fournier
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 March 2021 02:08 (three years ago) link
That would be a great duo to bring in but it feels like too many things have to fall just right for it to happen. Fournier alone is not gonna do it. I know there’s all the buzz about Harrison Barnes but I just can’t help thinking of him as like the most boring notable player in the league

hope they dont move him in whatever trades are upcoming, he has legit potential to supercharge the team, tho no guarantee he gets there

i was wondering if brandon ingram had ever gotten his three-pointer blocked before
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 2 March 2021 21:51 (three years ago) link
he has the kind of athleticism that people arent ready for, like ingram couldve done something to insure he didnt get that shot blocked but it didnt occur to him that it was a possibility, he was not ready
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 March 2021 21:53 (three years ago) link
williams is increasingly fun to watchblock steals are among the most exciting plays in professional sports imo
