did not know that

Rmwg, the table set to depend completely on porzingis stayin healthy / fitting. Wow.

Their healthy five looks good is about what u can say. I got a bad feeling, but hope they do ok.

Blake Griffin is an obvious choice that the Celtics continue to show interest in a return, now with the possibility of a bigger role.

I like the deal. Brogdon is nice but he’s a neutral impact guy, jrue with his flaws is an all star and going be a 4th option. They are relying a lot on porzingis but I think they can find a bench big before trade deadline or play kornet more. Timelord is a good piece but was too injury prone for them and the Celtics 3rd big. He wasn’t getting big minutes in playoffs unless porzingis was injuref

[QUOTE=Real Men Wear Green;14834527]They should give Dwight Howard a shot. He could even start for the sake of preserving Horford.[/QUOTE]
Love it

Howard’s immature attention wh0re persona doesnt fit this Celtics team’s energy. I‘d pass.

What?? Bucks are still a much more complete team and have a slightly better starting 5.

Lopez > Porz
Giannis > Tatum
Middleton = Brown
Beasley < Jrue
Lillard > White

Porzingis is statistically better than Lopez, who at 35 is a candidate for decline. Middleton was not AllNBA last year. He may have recovered a bit more but we also may have seen the player he will be going forward while last year a still improving JB was as good as he's ever been.

Lopez > Porz INCORRECT, Porz is a good defensively and SIGNIFICANTLY better at Offense
Giannis > Tatum CORRECT
Middleton = Brown I'd give the edge to brown
Beasley < Jrue CORRECT
Lillard > White CORRECTT[/QUOTE]
I count 3 better Celtics starters

They literally made this trade to contain Dame and I think the plan will work now that they have Jrue and Porzingis.

Porz is always hurt. So is his backup Horford last few years. Lopez rarely gets hurt. Availability is half the game.

Middleton was coming off an injury last year. Both are also very inefficient. Brown averages few more points per game because he shoots few more shots per game. Both are about equal to me even if Brown is a bit better athlete.

this was sell the farm to get Holiday ... they have no bench now LMFAO

Incredible get for Boston but giving up Williams is surprising to say the least and very much damaging. Brogdon is nothing and anyone who compares him to Holiday is a fool.
