The Boston Celtics are finalizing a deal to acquire the Washington Wizards’ Kristaps Porzingis, Marcus Smart to Memphis

[Left.A1]

Ja
Bane
Smart

Gotta be the smallest starting wing lineup in the league

Smarts got the wingspan of a 6’7” nikka tho

 

[Left.A1]

They got a starting PG out of this and another pick in this draft. Even a team as down bad as the Wizards aren't gonna have half the roster be rookies.

They have 4 picks in this draft now. If they got #25 instead of #35, the reaction would be a lot different

Deservingly so that’s a 10 pick difference

 

[Braman]

If Tyus Jones is a JAG and the team doesn't miss much of a beat when Ja is out, then what does that make Ja?

and you're wrong about Monte Morris. Morris was too busy starting for the Nuggets while Murray was out and it netted the Nuggets KCP. If that's the result of Jones' tenure in Washington, that's a W. Tyus Jones isn't a special PG, but at least he's gonna play smart and distribute. You know who ain't? Cam Whitmore if they draft him.

This can't possibly be over the 25th pick. It's 10 spots compared to the pick Washington got, so really it comes down to whether Tyus Jones is more valuable than Golden State's 2024 first rounder, which he is.

Yea you high

1- A vet PG serves no purpose on a tanking team

2- ‘play smart and distribute’ is code for ‘he a JAG’

3- This ain’t the nfl bruh. 24th pick vs 35th pick is night and day. 24th pick you have a reasonable expectation to play maybe even start. 35th pick the odds are you’ll be playing for the Guandong Tigers very soon

Sounding real casual bro!

 

[28 Gramz]

Celtics still don't have a facilitator or playmaker, that was their biggest problem not scoring.

I ain’t gonna lie if I was a Washington fan, I’d find a new team to root for

Jokic was the 41st pick

I ain’t gonna lie if I was a Washington fan, I’d find a few team to root for

Finally in full on tank mode. Might as well. They haven’t won more than 35 games in a season for 5 straight

 

[DoubleJ13]

Memphis about to be scoring 85 points a game, Lord help them if they hit a cold streak from 3 with that spacing already being pretty shyt


Thunder might fukk around & end up with Muscala again

 

[Left.A1]

Wizards record the last 5 seasons…

35-47
35-47
34-48
25-47
32-50

How much value do you think these bammas have that teams are going to unload high draft picks and worthy players? Porzingis would opt out of his contract if not traded. Then he would be a free agent and surely leave. He did them a favor by not opting in until after the trade.

Enough for the Celtics to move off of one of their most tenured starters for ..


KP wasn’t walking no fukking where ..y’all gotta stop believing shyt that makes no logical sense …if he was that hellbent on “walking” how did he end up in Boston? He obviously was interested in joining teams that wouldn’t have cap space to sign him outright …they did HIM a favor by taking on more salary to facilitate this deal for him ..use that to your damn advantage Wizards


Boston was clearly hellbent on getting KP and could only get him if YOU played ball ..yet you don’t at least get 1 of those 2 FRP? FOH ..that shyt is amateur hour

I’m fairly certain that Porzingis made it clear he would opt out & also he ended up in Boston a clear contender because he did the Wiz a favor by not opting out and letting them get some value in return. Of course he forced the Wiz hand. Acting like the Wizards had the leverage is funny to me. They had no leverage with the threat of him opting out and just leaving.

They're also gonna hold teams to about 85 a game. 2 back to back dpoy on the same team is wild.

Celtics won this trade hands down though.

Then call his fukking bluff …have you never negotiated for something bruh?

& also he ended up in Boston a clear contender because he did the Wiz a favor by not opting out and letting them get some value in return.

Boston was clearly his preferred destination bruh …if not there’s no need for him to opt in …how does he get to his preferred destination? Thru the Wizards allowing it to happen.. if they don’t take back the money from Tyus …KP is assed out looking for a long term deal from so,e bumfukk bottom feeder instead of a contender that’s willing to pay him …it’s not hard to see the leverage play in that scenario

Of course he forced the Wiz hand. Acting like the Wizards had the leverage is funny to me. They had no leverage with the threat of him opting out and just leaving.

This is the exact type of thinking that leads you to losing trades like the wizards did here

Why? They’re finally doing the right thing. Albeit a few years later than they should have, but finally rebuilding.

Look, the Wizards are looking to dump payroll and acquire players with expiring contracts. That’s exactly what they did here. The draft pick they acquired isn’t ideal obviously. I’m not going to argue that. This is full on tank mode. They will suck bad and get top draft picks while also clearing salary cap space. It’s the only option at this point for new upper management who wants to build their own team from the ground up

Porzingis gonna clog up the paint, and both Brown and Tatum are going to give him serious side eye.

Guess I'm watching the draft to see who we get at 25.
