When he was signed I honestly thought the tank was on. Stevens is a genius.

Wyc made a comment long ago that Brad would light himself on fire just to get a win so I never thought Brad would make a move just for the purpose of tanking. It’s not in his DNA anymore than it is in Joe’s or JB’s or Derrick’s or Payton’s.

I think Brad probably looked at the Celtics’ internal scouting and thought Luka would fit in the role they envisioned. Of course, he couldn’t be entirely sure it’d work out but I do think he made a calculated gamble that Luka would work out.

Or Brad was trying to tank and is just as surprised as you lol

If he can just become league average defensively he will be insanely valuable. He already gets hunted defensively and I feel like that could make him unplayable versus certain teams who excel at match up hunting in the playoffs

Well he’s fifth percentile defensively by EPM and 91st percentile by offense so… not super likely he’s going to shoot up that much haha

He’s fine for the contract. Honestly he cost this team just as much as he helps them.

Super weird how nobody talks about how bad he is on defense lol

Luka Garza Has Been A Sneaky Good Signing For The Celtics!
