Billingsley99 Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 KD will go down in history as the softest, weakest, bus rider in NBA history. He wants to be thought of as a great well he is on his way but for the wrong reasons. New toilet paper, Durant, softer than Charmin and dissolves under the slightest pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fills a lot of the Celtics around the edge weaknesses (ball handling, shooting, etc.), while also fitting into their culture of defense first, effort, IQ (even though the C's lacked it at times), etc. Haven't seen what we've given up yet. But a pretty solid start if the Celtics add Gallinari, Brogden and Thomas Bryant (apparently deciding between the C's and Lakers) without giving up much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Theis, Nesmith, Morgan, Stauskas, Fitts, and a first round pick next year. No way all those dudes stay on the Pacers imo. Some will get waived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically the Celtics get Brogden and the Pacers get a pick, a flier on Nesmith and some fodder for cap space or other trades. Love what the Celtics are doing while basically giving up nothing. Boston still has their huge trade exception from the Fournier deal to use by 7/18. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean to imply the Celtics got one over on the Pacers whatsoever. They're two franchises in different stages with different goals. Both got accomplished what they needed here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is that he's more of a role player on the Celtics. He should he coming off the bench. So, less will be required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will like him when he is on the court but should expect him to miss 25 games a year. In the last two years he had missed games with 15 different injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about 'some guys that will compete for a roster spot'. Sounds so much nicer. That said, if it was a Purdue guy, by all means, use the word fodder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good new is we got him without giving up Smart or Derrick White, so Brogden will have less stress or responsibility. Just need him healthy for April-June (hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he not good enough to break into the rotation or just blocked for minutes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hustles and plays solid D, but was billed as the best shooter in his draft but only shoots like 30% from 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 I've said before I'm not the best NBA guy fan in the world but to me the Pacers got a pretty good haul here today as did the Celtics. Boston gets an added guy that might get them over the hump. Pacers have Haliburton, Duarte, Jackson, Smith, Maturin...along with I believe 3 2023 first round picks. Trade today cleared up $31M in cap that makes a move for Ayton a real one after they ship Turner? Who knows. Pacers might start trying again.
