"a bad look"

gallo 2/13 celtics

lavine 5/215 bulls

cant blame him after dealing with these guys for a couple seasons

“Joe Tsai would rather have a team that plays hard that he's proud to own that wins 40 games and fights for the play-in than have a team that has way more talent that he's not proud to be a part of.” 😳

people who still think windhorst is like lebron’s puppet or whatever should really become familiar with the work of chris haynes.

damn the gallo market must have been nonexistent

aging defensive liabilities fall off the cliff fast

tax mle seems right for him at this point

Atlanta is trading Kevin Huerter to Sacramento for Justin Holiday, Mo Harkless and a future first round pick, sources tell EPSN.

sacramento ramping up for that 9 seed push

damn atlanta just dumping him huh. that’s a weird one

i kind of liked heurter for the celtics TPE, oh well

there should be an auto trade kicker any time a player gets sent to sacramento. like you get a 25% bonus on your salary paid by the league office

huerter is 23 and has improved his shooting every year

Not sad to lose Huerter honestly. He’s good but not worth what they paid him. Just really inconsistent

huerter's extension kicks in this year and ATL wants to save some money. theyre in the tax now i think? plus they get a lottery-protecc SAC first rounder. they may not be done with dealz.

Also I assume the hawks know they are on the clock for two seasons if they decide to do free Murray a long term deal

Huerter not consistent but that usually improves with age. Seems weird to bail now idk

they must have decided that a protected kings first has more value around the league than huerter, which may be correct. you’d have to figure they shopped him around and didn’t find anything they liked, or at least nothing they liked that was worth keeping themselves in the tax. but i remember when huerter signed that deal ppl were like, great contract immediate trade value. maybe he just wasn’t that valued around the league. i guess it depends on what the protection is on the pick

I kind of expected OPJ would get a bigger payday elsewhere, but GP2 signing elsewhere does sting, though I'm glad for him personally. It does make re-signing Wiggins marginally easier/higher priority now, though.

huerter is a good player but he’s def emblematic of what we were talking about the other day with the hawks. i wouldn’t call him soft in the macho sense like he shrinks in the spotlight or gets intimidated or whatever but he is soft in the physical sense, like he’s a skinny dude who isn’t physically imposing, you never feel him during the game. he’s skilled but guys like miami or boston have are never going to be worried about going up against him. the hawks need less of those guys

The Indiana Pacers are trading guard Malcolm Brogdon to the Boston Celtics, sources tell ESPN.

whoa

The Celtics are sending Daniel Theis, Aaron Nesmith and a 2023 first-round pick, sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/etqmr9l0l7

the health is scary but they don’t need him to play a ton in the regular season.

Excellent move. Seems like he's just what they need.

Celtics are also including Nik Stauskas, Malik Fitts and Juwan Morgan in the trade, sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 1, 2022

nothing of note, but they might need another player back from the pacers for roster reasons

Otm regarding Huerter. Plus they just drafted a sharp shooter that plays subpar defense

wow huge pickup for the celtics if brogdon can find some health

tho smart white and brogdon are all kind of same guyish

to be fair its a good guy to have duplicates of

yeah i thought maybe white was gonna be the piece being sent out

its not like you cant play two of them together, tho smart and white are kind of rough together because of the lack of shooting but brogdon with either of them should be a little better

does seem like white could get pushed to the end of the rotation tho

also makes him expendable at the deadline if they need or want something else

true

good get for the celtics

smart brogdon the jays rob could be a pretty sweet crunch time rotation, brogdon should add a little of that playmaking they need

brogdon was great in the bubble playoffs first round vs the heat… put up 21/10 in that series

yeah hes a good player he does a lot of good basketball things

hes one of those extremely solid guys

oh wow brogdon is way more of a guy than i was expecting them to get for that role

sounding like bjelica is gonna be heading to play in europe

Has anyone in the west improved? Things seem to be skewing toward the east

clippers and nuggets should be back in the mix. portland too.

and this is not done obv. the durant/kyrie thing could swing things

jazz deals too

teams looking to make big moves are prob waiting those out before doing anything else
