Love him or hate him, can’t deny he’s part of NFL history already. I can see teams interested in hiring him as HC - old and everything, but he’s still freaking BB, after all, a defensive genius - but not let him work as a GM anymore. Who knows if he’s willing to accept these conditions now.

Very sad to hear, I loved seeing Timelord jumping like crazy and wreaking havoc on defense. But his injury history is precisely why Boston made him available

Overpay, ofc, but then again, the real question here is - what other options did the Celtics have ? Which trade was actually doable, for a package of equal value in return ?

same for me, I was looking for some info about this…

A little bummed for Gallo (he would have loved to play for the Celts and Lord, we could have used him in the playoff), but ofc here the true issue is losing Smart. He impacted the game way beyond his stats…we will miss him, I already do. Now, I get something has to be done to address the lack of post offense, but we are just betting on KP (who is far from being *bad *per se, mind you, he’s actually a good scorer) to stay healthy. And yes, we got *some *picks back…but we were somehow forced to it having wasted two second round ones iirc for Muscala. So, overall I don’t know how to feel. I just wished we were able to move Brogdon instead, in the first iteration of this KP trade, I’d feel much better about this

To their credit, their first move was about Brogdon. Once that deal fell apart, it looks like Brad panicked a little…beacuse yes, Smart brings a lot to the table, stats only tell a part of it…letting him go it’s a huge price to pay for KP.

On a related note, if Smart is gone this will mean a huge boost for Pritchard playing time, which may not be a bad thing -I sorta like him and think he’s underappreciated. He’s no Smart ofc.

In a vacuum…not a huge fan of this. Celtics need a big, true - but one who can stay on the floor, and Porzingis, while a good player overall, is far from being that
