Jrue getting banished to the Blazers again, wonder if they'll actually keep him this time

Tatum is ded but real interesting Celts are giving up so much of the championship core to retool around Jayson/Brown and maybe White just one year removed.

**Krandor** · 2025-06-24 22:09

Apparently they are trying to trade into the lottery to draft Kasparas Jakucionis.

It's clearly the right move, Jrue is slowing down and Tingus is on the last year of his deal and both are mad expensive, they need financial flexibility more than anything.

Can still probably battle for a 4 seed next year

teams trying to poach White and Brown too, Celtics reportedly hearing offers but waiting for something to pop. gets late early out there, couldn't imagine Boston blowing it up after they got that ring with one of the better starting 5's i'd seen in the modern era.

Pingus and Jrue were likely gone this off-season even if they managed to win it again, the repeater tax bill would just be too much.

I think they'd be crazy to trade Jaylen, but if they can get something good for White (who will be 32 when Tatum is back) and went into the season with Pritchard and Anfernee Simons as the starting guards it's not the end of the world for this bridge season.

I doubt Simons is in the Celtics long term plans. To say he's a negative on defense is being generous and that just doesn't really fly with how the Celtics have constructed their roster with Brad Stevens in charge.

Men make plans, and Achilles laughs

Suns traded the No. 29 pick and a 2029 first for Charlotte's Mark Williams, the same one that the Lakers sent back for a failed physical. What happens if he fails a physical for the Suns? Would they hypothetically just get whoever the Hornets drafted at 29?

**Andalusian girls** · 2025-06-25 22:27

Mark Williams is p good and only 23 but that injury history is awful. guess we're swinging for it with him and Khaman Maluach

Ace Bailey looking visibly upset after being drafted by the Jazz was pretty funny. He really thought he could force himself onto the team of his choice and now he's banished to Utah.

Nothing he or his agent did makes any sense. The difference between the 4 year deal a #3 pick gets and a #5 pick gets is $9 million - that's...a lot at this stage of their careers.

**Krandor** · 2025-06-25 23:59

Utah is actually a really good place for him if his primary concern is to just get as many buckets as possible. Except for the fact that it's you know... Utah.

So apparently Omar Cooper isn't even a registered agent (might be related to the fact that he's a convicted felon, idk), yet by all accounts appears to be the one pulling all the strings.
