This the first game in a long time I purposefully missed. Got back round the end of the 4th quarter to a route. Probably gonna be the moves for a while.

Possible trade target for us who becomes trade eligible 1 week from now: Jay Huff

Huff is a 7’1 stretch big who has bounced around the league for 3 seasons before having a really nice season so far this year with the Grizzlies, who rewarded him by converting his previous two-way contract into a standard one. He’s locked up for the next 3 years after this one.

The only reason he might be available is the same reason that Xavier Tillman was available from Memphis last year, they have a lot of good frontcourt players. Huff is clearly their 5th big in terms of minutes per game, behind All-NBA candidate Jaren Jackson, rookie starting center Zach Edey, emerging 6MOY candidate Santi Aldama, and back from ACL injury Brandon Clarke.

For a big, Huff has displayed a rare combination of rim protection and 3-point shooting ability.

Other niche reasons why he’s a perfect trade target for us is that he’s a 4-year college player which Brad loves (Pritchard, Grant, Baylor), adds to our contingent of under the radar impactful white guys, and his first name is Jay, how befitting of this era of team.

Looking forward to being in the building for the game today. Anyone else going to be there?

Was curious and thought I’d compare this year’s RAPTOR ratings to last year’s RS:

JT 2024: 3.9 O, 0.7 D, 4.6 T | JT 2025: 4.3 O, 1.3 D, 5.5 T

JB 2024: 3.1 O, 0.1 D, 3.2 T | JB 2025: 2.5 O, 0.3 D, 2.8 T

Jrue 2024: -0.2 O, 0.8 D, 0.6 T | Jrue 2025: 0.3 O, 0.2 D, 0.5 T

DWhite 2024: 2.8 O, 1.7 D, 4.5 T | DWhite 2025: 1.9 O, 0.9 D, 2.8 T

KP 2024: 2.6 O, 1.1 D, 3.7 T | KP 2025: 1.9 O, -0.4 D, 1.5 T

Al 2024: 0 O, 1.2 D, 1.2 T | Al 2025: -1 O, 1.3 D, 0.3 T

PP 2024: 1.6 O, -0.4 D, 1.2 T | PP 2025: 3.7 O, -0.7 D, 3 T

Sam 2024: 1.8 O, 0.8 D, 2.5 T | Sam 2025: 0.4 O, 0.7 D, 1.1 T

Luke 2024: 1.2 O, 0.9 D, 2.1 T | Luke 2025: 1.2 O, 2 D, 3.2 T

It feels much worse than it actually is. JT and PP have actually made a leap, JB is slightly worse but not as much as perception, DWhite has just had a really bad 6 weeks, KP is finding himself after injury, and Hauser has been struggling through his back injury.

We’ll be fine.

Fenway Sports Group Expected To Make $6bn Bid For NBA Team Boston Celtics

Omg why is no one reporting this tragedy

I think that’s just rehashing an old report from months ago, I don’t think there’s anything new there.

Yeah, I checked the link and the old article was updated with new info, presumably about the fact that the sale price has been set at 6 billion.

Today will be Porzingis’ first game against Golden State in a Boston uniform. His last 2 games against them with Washington he scored 34 and 32 points. When they were champs in 2022 he scored 23 and 25 while only hitting 1 three. Averages 10 FTA in these 4 games. They can’t defend him without fouling.

No Draymond, no Kyle Anderson, no Kuminga.

They’ll have TJD and Looney to defend him, but otherwise the only guys they can put on him are Wiggins, Gui Santos, and guards.

Porzingis should have a massive game today and we should feast off of switches. As long as he’s not a turnover machine, his gravity from making easy shots should make everyone else’s life easier too.

Considering TJD and Looney have not shared the floor at all this year and are full time Centers, a double big lineup in drop might be ill-advised defensively with Curry, but offensively it might be an interesting way to get Wiggins off Tatum/Brown.

We should be able to get whatever we want at the rim today.

Unrelated, but I’ve always wondered why the Warriors never thought of getting Porzingis when he was available in the summer of 2023. Like, that will never make sense to me. In theory, he’s absolutely perfect for their team and would have added a dimension to their team that they lacked since Durant left with his ability to beat switches. It’s also crazy to me that Steph has never played with a stretch 5 before.

I have never understood why the Warriors feel like they have to give Steph a difficulty level of 100 with the supporting players around him offensively, especially at this advanced age of his career.

I mean….we know the deal with Porzingis. It is all smiles and upside and top-of-head kisses until he breaks a tendon in his ankle that no one has ever heard of before and he’s out for 6 months. GSW may have preferred something they knew could stay on the court, especially since Curry has a limited amount of time and can’t wait.

I wonder if Porzingis just preferred Boston. He had the ability to become a free agent and was able to pick his destination*. It’s funny that the Warriors did make a trade with Washington that summer, dumping Poole for Chris Paul. Honestly, I think Lacob was probably ready to stop spending so much too, since they just declined CP3’s salary for this season. Maybe they weren’t willing to extend KP without seeing how the season went.

And TBF to them, some people (me) were deeply skeptical of Porzingis, even if healthy, as a playoff player. I do still wonder how his postup game will go because I think refs generally allow big guys to get pushed around in the playoffs (see game 2 against the Heat) but then again the ceiling is completely insane (see game 1 against the Mavs) so I think have to take the L even though he hasn’t cracked 200 playoff minutes yet

Cause our gm is addicted to guards.

That and we didn’t have anything close to what Celtics had to offer.

Porzingis was a essentially a sign and trade and all Washington got was Tyus Jones and salary filler.

Memphis basically traded Tyus jones and a first rounder for Marcus Smart, and Washington got to keep Jones in exchange for facilitating Porzingis going to Boston.

Making the salary fit was the hard part, but Warriors definitely had enough assets
