If Washington is finally rebuilding, where does Porziņģis end up?

Lol you can always sign PJ Tucker and Pat Bev.

 

Lol why Wizards gave up the centerpiece but somehow Grizz ended with the prize? And the picks went to Boston and Wiz didn't get any? Huh? Lol Wizards getting ripped off left and right lmao

 

You missed the part where Celts got two frp and Wizards got pick 35 lol

 

Marcus Smart is an underrated player and provided that dawg mentality to Boston. He's a top defender in the league, which is always underrated by most fans. With that said, a healthy Porzingis is a unicorn and in my opinion, will be a better player than Wemby for the next couple of years at least. Boston gives up a lot in Marcus Smart, but Porzingis can be a game changer, which is what they need to take the next step. Good deal for all parties.

 

I am getting Silas vibes from Mazula. The Celtics were not mentally strong enough in the playoffs and their solution is to replace smart with porzingis? Doesn’t look good to me.

 

Once they swapped him out for Smart, there were probably no longer plans to trade him anyway.

This.

Plan A was to ship Brogdan to Clippers. But medical was so bad that Clippers negged it. Because Porzingis had the deadline to opt in, Celtics went to Grizz for plan B and Clippers out of the deal.

Since Malcom remained, Marcus is shipped out instead. Up to this point Smart is the longest tenured Celtic, 9 years.


Fyi this aligned with what we've been hearing: After playoffs, White vs Brogdan, Derick was favored and Malcom was getting shopped... those rumor were true.


As far as free agency: dominos have started to fall: Porzingis and Tyus are off the board.

 

Washington been rebuilding since I started watching basketball in 1986. It is fitting they are in the nations capital building the bridge, er, team to nowhere.

 

That problem has existed long before they built the great wall of washington dc.
