Final trade summary:
Celtics get - Kristaps Porzingis, No. 25 overall pick, 2024 first-round pick
Grizzlies get - Marcus Smart
Wizards get - Tyus Jones, Danilo Gallinari, Mike Muscala, No. 35 overall pick
Celtics needed a sure ‘third option’ in offense (well, a second one, really, after JT) and someone to get minutes down low. Horford is what, 37 now ? and Timelord simply can’t stay healthy, and has some offensive limitations. Porzingis is a good offensive player, he can play two positions and help getting opponents big man away from the rim, and he is not a terrible defender; again, his availability is the biggest concern, and what really makes me feel not great about this trade.
You sure are right about the lack of coaching, it’s still there. I just hope I won’t hear about Mazzulla’s random offense anymore, ffs.
