More coming in

Re do on Zinger trade

Celtics reportedly getting back two first rounders in the deal

FULL TRADE DETAILS:

Celtics receive:
Kristaps Porzingis
No. 23 pick, 2023 draft
2024 1st-round pick

Wizards receive:
Tyus Jones

Grizzlies receive:
Marcus Smart

We will be a completely different team next year. Wow!!

Wow indeed!

Wow what a haul, 2 1st round picks!!!

Salaries don't match. There is more going out of Boston.

Marcus was to get an average of about $20M for the next three seasons.
Zinger $36M for this coming year. Another shoe will be dropping, but I bet it won't be White, Brogdon, or Pritchett. Boy, was I surprised that Smart got dealt. We got a lot for him, but I will sorely miss him.
Danno's probably gone now too. What's that, $8M?

Well, Marcus will be starting at least 25 games in Memphis with Ja out. At least he'll have good ribs around to eat. What a great guy.

Likely Gallo and Muscala.

Yes, Gallo and Muscala. The 2024 pick is from Golden State. Could be a good pick.

Makes $en$e Prakash

The team wasn’t going to win a title as it was built.

That was probably the biggest reason for the calls to trade Brown.

If they’re keeping Brown, lots of other pieces need to change. Had to happen to contend, although I would have preferred to keep Smart.

Bob H was right about the landscape changing pre draft.

With Zinger in lots of speculation Grant is next to go. Would seem likely.

I guess D White is our defensive stopper at the Guard position now. PT avaiable for PP. We wanted action; we got it I will miss the hell out of Smart. Everybody please just STHU about how players should have their movement restricted, and/or remain loyal to their teams.Brad, the blue eyed assassin, should change his name to Vlad.This trade should make us stronger, but we shall see.The vibe won't be the same without Smart.

So we are hedging our bets?

A big to shore up future size need. Prtichard likely gets time now. The first round picks could be a gamble towards future depth.

Will Al and Porzingis start? We will consistently play a double big lineup? I thought that we needed shooting. Is that Pritchard? I hope that we are not depending upon Hauser.

Wow! Just wow! Everything changes now.

Feels like Brogdon will still get traded. Lets see.

Vlad the Impaler!

We need Malcolm now, but yes. We shall see.

So now watch us get to the finals only to have to face a backcourt of Smart and Morant!

Maybe, but if Gallo and Moose are gone ( and I'm guessing Al next year) don't we need depth at the 4? I'm hoping Grant stays. If he and Smart are both gone, we lose a helluva lot of personality. I'm on board and hoping for the best, but all these departures could turn out to be disruptive.

On to the draft. Draft shooters!

Draft shooters

It's probably academic, but could Celts pick up Moose or Gallo when they are released

Wow…..I thought Smart might retire a Celtic…..not in this day and age. Wonder how the 2 J’s feel about this??? Where does Brogden fit in? Or. Where does he go. What a night……..good or bad, cannot say Brad is not trying to swing for the fences. 2 first round picks Poor Marcus, all he ever did was play his ass off for us. Good or bad, he always brought it to the floor, every night. This is not going to be a popular move but may have been a necessary one. More is yet to come

Oh..Wow.
Gotta let it marinate and tenderize before I put the knife and fork to it
