I kind of like the end result for the Celtics. For one, the current squad has had enough playoff runs now without reaching the goal (a title) and I think they felt like they had to make some changes. They get a (very) big man who if he stays healthy might make a difference should they run into Jokic and Nuggets in the Finals. And they get the draft picks to keep the pipeline fresh with young talent. I’m not sure I trust Porzingis to stay healthy but maybe on a deep and talented Celtics team he doesn’t have to play as much, reducing the chance of injury.

Rebuilding for the first time in franchise history. This is what hope feels like!

I always thought Marcus would be a Celtics lifer. I’m not sure what to think. If this is the difference for winning a chip, then ok. But otherwise, they just traded away a locker room leader and fan favorite for an injury-prone big. The man has a Honeydew Donuts drink named after him.

Thanks, I hate it.

What the fuck, Brad.

This whole trade is so fucking weird.
