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:
porzingishollidayjordan walshfour future second round picks
celtics out:
smartr. williamsbrogdon2029 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.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 2 October 2023 20:56 (eleven months ago) link
pretty good for the celtics particularly considering they acquired future hall of famer jordan walsh
― lag∞n, Monday, 2 October 2023 20:58 (eleven months ago) link
lol i forgot about all brads draft night trades each one spinning up a new second rounder
― lag∞n, Monday, 2 October 2023 20:59 (eleven months ago) link
my 12 y o says it doesn't feel like the celtics anymore, it feels like they're just mashing teams up together
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 2 October 2023 21:07 (eleven months ago) link
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
― lag∞n, Monday, 2 October 2023 21:09 (eleven months ago) link
the home grown team was basically good enough they just needed a 'true' point guard
― ciderpress, Monday, 2 October 2023 22:05 (eleven months ago) link
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

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
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 3 October 2023 02:49 (eleven months ago) link
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.

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

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.
― il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Tuesday, 3 October 2023 15:09 (eleven months ago) link
wld make sense for him to be particularly upset considering how much depends on keeping joel happy
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 October 2023 15:10 (eleven months ago) link
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.
― il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Tuesday, 3 October 2023 15:16 (eleven months ago) link
agree the sixers will look different without joel haha
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 October 2023 15:34 (eleven months ago) link
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.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 3 October 2023 15:37 (eleven months ago) link
yeah true hes a gms dream
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 October 2023 15:47 (eleven months ago) link
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.
― il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Tuesday, 3 October 2023 16:00 (eleven months ago) link
it feels like hes ready to ask out

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

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.
― fact checking cuz, Thursday, 5 October 2023 01:17 (eleven months ago) link
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

that video gets at something i was thinking about, which goes back to i think jordan talking about how the celtics needed somebody who could set up their kitchen, could “get to their spots” and cook, and i feel like jrue can do that, particularly those little middie moves
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 6 October 2023 06:36 (eleven months ago) link
jrue one of those guys i always assume is a few years older than he is. probably because his first team change was really early
