I think I could help with the whole Pam/Pan situation

Pam the marked ass

Arguably the most entertaining character in Archer, or at the very least the most interesting

His tweets are just words on a screen

Rumors have it that all AI training data consists solely of Magic’s NPC tweets

They gave that man a talk show. 

He quit in 2019

Yes

They could have had both too and still let Caruso leave

Trade Him Today

we let Brook Lopez walk for nothing too when he could’ve helped us for the early 2020s

Totally unbiased, but also disagree.

I mean not a bad offer if the swap was the later pick.

But Clippers are rolling, Zubac ain’t getting traded unless it’s a clear overpay now

The real fuck up was Celtics trading trash and getting Jrue..

Kp was a soft one too.

And Stevens is just an elite gm

Cmon bro someone’s gotta take out the nuggets

Damn you right

The spurs exist too.

It’s fools gold homie, they will absolutely blow it hard again soon when (not if) their ancient injury prone roster gets nicked up again

The only argument I can really buy is that Zu’s injury allowed our players to get into a bit more of an offensive rhythm. Unclogging the paint let Kawhi/Harden attack more, and running the bench with Yanic let the younger guys play faster.

Also let BroLo kind of find his groove again, which he was missing early on.

That being said, the best form of LAC is obviously with Zu. The only way LAC should trade him is if you get an offer that is simply too good to refuse. You don’t pry a guy like Zu away for “fair value.” You get them by overpaying. Nobody thought Mikal or Bane were worth their trade packages, but that’s the price you pay when you are trying to get a player who isn’t necessarily on the trade block.

Yep, he’s playing alright now but I remember them all saying he clogged the paint and Brook is a better fit etc.

LAC fans also demanded Ty Lue play Kai Jones big minutes. Point being, fans are a horrendous judge because they don’t know ball.

Well, I hope we do business then

I guess we’ll see by next Thursday!

My guess is LAC would want at minimum Simons, ²⁶⁄₃₁, 2nds, and Queta. Fans assume that Yanic is much more NBA ready than I think he actually is, so LAC would want to hedge by having another playable C.

Either way, I don’t see them moving him unless it’s like and outlandishly crazy package.

No clue man, he fell out of the rotation and I thought and most of us thought he was playing really well

It’s a really competitive spot in the rotation tbf, Hugo and Walsh have been great too

Really didn’t play bad or do anything wrong, hope he gets more chances second half of the year cause I loved his minutes this year

Mazulla has just been running really weird rotations (they’ve been working but they are so inconsistent). One day a dude like Walsh will be starting and getting 25 minutes, the next day with zero injuries he will come off the bench get 7 minutes.

Minott was playing fairly well but get benched because Walsh was playing well and then got a couple DNPs in a row and then got injured. He’s finally back, but hasn’t cracked the rotation because of the amount of wings Mazulla has to spin a roulette wheel on to give random amounts of minutes (Hauser, Walsh, Hugo, Schiereman). It also doesn’t help that Minott was playing a lot of small ball 5, and with the emergence of Luka Garza (and lately Amari Williams) that there is less of a need to go small.

I don’t know enough about those players tbh. I looked at the contracts and all can be cut I guess for nothing to save money. Not sure about sending back 2 seconds since the Celtics get the best player in the deal on a good contract. Maybe 1 second. Again I don’t know much about these players and their value.

This, didnt the Celtics trade Porzingus and Jrue for cap flexibility

I get that, but the extra price you’re paying is the difference between a guy whose a very good center in the regular season, but will have issues staying on the floor defensively against the crop of insanely good guards in the East in the playoffs like Mitchell, Maxey, and Brunson vs. a guy whose game is made for the playoffs with his versatility on both ends of the court.

It’s also a bet on the Celtics being able to develop Jaren beyond what he currently is right now, and given the Celtics track record of player development at all levels - stars, role players, end of bench guys, I have faith they can do that.

Outside of a truly disastrous first 3 games, somehow we are 12th in Defensive Rebound % according to Cleaning the Glass. I have no idea how that’s true, but it is.

There’s only 7 players avg 14+pts and 10+reb and zu is one of them.

I’m a little skeptical about Zu’s offense sans Harden as we don’t have that elite playmaker and I also am not a fan of drop coverage with Zu against the crop of elite shotmaking guards present in the East at the moment with Spida, Maxey, and Brunson.

Jaren to me is in the mold of someone like Mobley or Chet or Bam or AD when he was in his prime etc. whose game I feel like is more important for the playoffs where you need a ⁴⁄₅ who can switch on defense, protect the rim, and punish mismatches with their scoring.

You don’t pay fair value for an asset that a team doesn’t want to trade.

The reason Bane went for so much is because the Grizzlies were more than happy to keep him. So you realistically have to make an offer the other team can’t refuse.

the celtics have never been the beneficiaries of a garbage trade before!

you did not in fact. but also look at your return for the corpses of Paul Pierce and KG and get back to me.
