TRADE IDEA:
BOS acquires:
Vando, Gabe Vincent, Knecht
DEN acquires:
Maxi Kleber
LAL acquires:
Anfernee Simons, Xavier Tillman, Zeke Nnaji
WHY?
Celtics split Simons into three smaller deals + more years. Den gets off Nnaji. Lakers clean up there books, open more offseason space

I love Jrue Holiday's game.
If we couldnt extend him on a market positive number, I'd rather we just let him walk for nothing
Simons making $27.7 is negative value, and consider our cap sheet and pick cabinet
We're still $12.x over tax line... this is why nothing for Jrue would have been better.

One of the commonalities among NBA dynasty level teams is finding a high level contributor for a really low asset value cost -- usually late in the draft.
Modern teams to make >1 Finals:
Kukoc
Manu, Tony
Ben Wallace
Draymond
Derek Fisher
getting expensive assets cheaply is a Championship feature

Jaylen Brown has the frame and length to be successful in the Paul Pierce duck-under role also known as "the Paul Pierce cut"
would love to see JB use this cut to get a couple-few high % looks right at the cup, no dribble, finishing opportunities!

I'll never understand the Celtics booking all 7 extensions so far into tax/apron and then Wyc says, "nobody will stay in the 2nd apron," then why did you book yourself so far into it?
To make trades in the NBA u need a counterparty. You can't get a good deal if your trade partner knows u MUST sell

Jaylen Brown beautiful midrange game been reminding of prime Paul Pierce to start the season (though JB can still pass his teammates to higher heights!)
Put on an hour of Pierce jumpers, relaxing playlist on the audio and I'm just vibing, lol ...

Pretty fun Celtics game.
I loved a couple of Neemi's quirky shots, his side jump hook and little turnaround in the post
One Celts prob is only attempting from analytics areas of the court and Neemi's attempts in the 3-10 ft area are really important in the offens, a reason why JRUE was SO SPECIAL

After Knicks gave up 5 picks for Bridges and Magic gave up 4+ firsts for desmond Bane, and those deals look quite rich in retrospect, are we returning to a more austere pick trade market?
For trades of non All Star player are we going to see 4+ picks any time soon? Or "not in this economy!" ????

Celtics hit a rough patch last couple games but gotta support the team as they regroup and find the plot!
Some highlights to start the year:
Jaylen's production
Neemi (despite the rebs) showing out
Payton midrange touch and fadeways
Minott's energy and impact
Scheierman's shot slection + defense

Being a fan of a team with so many no-pass 3PTA possessions

so many one-pass 3PTA possessions

a team both near the top of 3PTAs and the bottom of assists

It seems like the Celtics analysts feel like they've solved basketball
1. Have fewer passes than the opponent
2. Attempt more 3pt attempts than the opponent
and it's just a "Cheat the Game" type of arrogance and almost disrespecting the game imo

Draft rumors said TOR tried to trade for Derrick White offering RJ Barrett and the #9 pick but were rebuffed by a Celtics office sayin, "not even close."
Now White's been bad this yr and that #9 pick couldve been Cedric Coward or CMB and RJ Barret's ballin' ... Celts couldnt get that deal now...

Do Celtics analytics look at offensive output in terms of points per shot, meaning if team takes 100 3PTA and converts 40 for 120pts that each attempt is worth 1.2pts
If they do this, this is completely wrong.
If we take 100 & make 40 then 60 attempts were worth 0 and 40 attempts were worth 3.

Brooklyn otoh, im not loving their 5 picks. But Nets making so many picks aided the teams below them.
As a Celts fan, I'd take Hugo over all 5 Nets picks and our #32 had larger value bc of the talent still left that Nets passed on
Love the Drake!
