CELTICS 2010

jesus christ people i would fire jordan walsh into the sun for jrue

local fans are so fun when it comes to lower tier guys nobody else has ever heard of, one of my favorite little things

its pretty funny

i appreciate their managers and agents and whatever probably had a lot to do with this lil video but jrue and lauren seem like pretty solid people

"Our purpose here is to love each other."

From Jrue supporting his wife Lauren when she had a brain tumor while pregnant, to them donating millions of dollars to Black and Brown businesses in 2020, the Holidays have always been a team ❤️ @ESPYS pic.twitter.com/L8kGIWnZrl

Jaylen Brown on watching the Colorado game with Derrick white. It was a 10 am game local time: “D White, he’s drunk at 10 am.”

jaylen is happy to not have to listen to marcus anymore

Jaylen Brown says the team will hear his voice and Jayson Tatum's more this year with Blake Griffin, Grant Williams and Marcus Smart gone.

he's learned from the best (kyrie). should work out just fine.

have you guys seen any tweet or article that accounts for the picks boston sent out and received in the smart & jrue deals? i've seen the "boston turned smart, brogdon, grant & rob into jrue & zinger" tweets but not any that includes the picks that went in/out too

not in a perfect capsule format but you could reconstruct it pretty easily. i have seen that flavor of tweet that only talks about rotation players but idk if i use that lens much.

iirc they traded one of their firsts for brogdon then they got two 1sts from memphis for smart and sent one of their own and one of the ones they got for smart out for jrue

cad telling me "get your fucking ass up and work. it seems like nobody wants to work these days"

my calculation of it all would be

celtics in:

porzingis
holliday
jordan walsh
four future second round picks

celtics out:

smart
r. williams
brogdon
2029 first (unprotected)

the two firsts for smart have been burned through: one was sent out in the holliday deal & the other was chopped up instantaneously into walsh and the four future seconds. from a picks perspective it's basically net zero here depending on how much you value the second round picks

so they're essentially out 3 rotation players and a future unprotected first this offseason. ok this is what i wanted to know.

lol sorry, it is never my intention to create more work.

windhorst actually did a version of it on his pod but didn’t account for the second-rounders so nice job by you tbh.

pretty good for the celtics particularly considering they acquired future hall of famer jordan walsh

lol i forgot about all brads draft night trades each one spinning up a new second rounder

my 12 y o says it doesn't feel like the celtics anymore, it feels like they're just mashing teams up together

yeah celtics had an unusual run with a bunch of home grown guys now theyre just like every other team, tho they at least they still have the jays

the home grown team was basically good enough they just needed a 'true' point guard

its not like they werent already this sort of team a few years back when they brought in gordon hayward and kyrie (and later kemba) the home grown part was just a couple years between that sputtering out and now

crazy

Jrue Holiday and Derrick White is going to be a nightmare defensively for opposing offenses.

Here are some percentiles for them both (among guards w/ 1K+ mins):

Holiday | White:

D-LEBRON: 96th | 96th
D-DPM: 98th | 95th
On/Off DRTG: 98th | 98th
D-DRIP: 89th | 99th
LA-DRAPM:… pic.twitter.com/CI6Z4xyaoP

we've spent days talking about bigger implications of all the moves but i can't wait to watch these guys play together, it's going to be fun

lots of fun teams this year, still feels pretty wide open between denver, boston, milwaukee, plus weird old man energy from the suns and lakers, and gs is always a wild card.

Because it's that time of year before my spirit is crushed.... Wolves back

jrue going to the celtics def worst case scenario for the bucks, tho obvs they didnt help the celtics more than they helped themselves

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F7d51jIXAAAJZsx?format=jpg&name=900x900

this also should give the bucks pause tho if middleton can find some health its prob not too bad, obvs a lot with the bucks d in general will depend on their back line and how they scheme, then if you look to the right there there are some questions about the celtics front court v giannis, grant got a lot of giannis minutes and now the only guy they have whos really stout enough to body him is horf who is old as you may have heard

We know Zach Lowe has a pipeline to Daryl Morey.

wld make sense for him to be particularly upset considering how much depends on keeping joel happy

It looks like they are going to waste another prime year of Joel this year, but team is going to be radically different at the deadline/offseason as both Harden and Harris' contracts are up.

agree the sixers will look different without joel haha

been thinking about it and jrue might have the best q rating among front offices of any player, great guy, plays both ways, winner, fits everywhere—probably explains some of the head-shaking from a portion of the 28 other execs who want him on their team.

yeah true hes a gms dream

I would like to take one more shot with a reconfigured roster after this year, but I'm fine with trading Joel if it doesn't work out.

it feels like hes ready to ask out

all things considered he prob wouldve already done it if he werent such a local hero

Mandatory, I hate the Celtics. This team will be a nightmare.

thank you the kevins

lil loosey goosey

this is not a meaningful clip please dont feed the kevins

i’m ready to start overreacting to this celtics team, let’s goooooooo

:)

bought tix to take my daughter for her birthday to the thunder game on 4/3/24. pretty stoked, haven't been to a game since the kyrie era, and this will be her first. i knew for sure that my determination to make a fan out of her had paid dividends when i saw the look of horror on her face after i told her they traded rob. "don't worry, you're gonna like jrue" i told her. "dad i know who jrue holiday is" she answered

niice

This team will be a nightmare.

but only so long as everybody stays healthy. they're really, really not built to sustain a serious injury to anybody.

theyre a lil shallow they lost four rotation players and replaced them with two, but being shallow is not unique amongst current contenders, and they have some ability to add another dece guy, suspect theyll roll with what they have to start see if any of bench guys step up then address whatever concerns arise later

great
