Grant Williams takes opponent’s strategy personally: ’You better ask somebody. I’m not weak’

 

[IcyPatriot]

Grant Williams is a +41 through 2 games

I'm not sure he misses any of the little things ... best player on the team.
He keeps working on the 3pt shot and we'll be seeing a lot of him this year.

We could have had both of them in the Second I know it's summer leagues but I have a feeling Tako's game is going to translate in the Pros...the man is Big!

Carsen Edwards is gonna make T-Ro look like a bad memory.

The kid is legit
NBA body, supreme confidence, love the D

 

[SBLIII]

Carsen Edwards looks sneaky good. Good be a really good bench player with instant offense impact.

Edwards already have Curry's range and confidence. And how does tiny Terry get a better Contract than Smart?? Terry is a streak shooter at best and his D ain't worth a dam. Terry must have some scary pictures of Michael Jordon.

Because NBA loves to give out rediculous contracts and Charlotte in particular is one of the worst run teams in the league.

Regardless of Rozier’s contract, Smart is wildly overpaid

Smart because of his D and tenacity is still an asset to a Team unlike little Terry.

Smart because of his D and tenacity is still an asset to a Team unlike little Terry.

In the era of 2 max contracts per team, paying a “no O just D” player $15 mill hamstrings this team and is $10 mill too much.
Nothing about Smart’s 2018-19 season was worth $15 mill. He was just a guy and rarely a true difference maker.

Between him and Max Contract Al..... Celtics were paying $45 mill for intangibles and pedestrian stats
8 pts/ 4 rebounds + 13/7

Did I understand that to mean the Celtics completely control Tacko Falls' fate for a year even if he plays for the Lobsters?

Comments:

A.) @borg , Marcus Smart is the heart of our team, IMO. He's worth every penny and then some. If a max contract is ~40M...Smart is well worth 15M annually. In addition, his FG% was waaaay up last year...see here:



B.) I think we are gonna love the second unit with Smart and G. Williams.

C.) Westy in Miami would be a problem....yeah he's a ball dominant who would be paired with another ball dominant player, but that is a significant enough of a talent duo to shake up the east.

Might be wearing some homer glasses, but I think Westbrook in Miami, depending on what they would have to give up to get him, would make the East as such...

1. Milwaukee
2. Miami
3. Philly

Depends on Durant’s health. If he’s back then it’s the Nets and Bucks fighting it out for number one. If not, then they’re 3rd or 4th. I’m operating under the assumption that he will need at least a season. Westbrook vaults Miami into contender status in the East but they won’t have enough to take them over the top. They have no 5, a weak bench, and have mortgaged their futures.

Boston, Let's Do This | By Kemba Walker

Great example of how to leave one team and join a new one. Hard not to like this guy. Fingers crossed.

Agreed, he seems very likable and admirable. Speaking of likable and admirable players, I came across a couple of articles about our own Jalen Brown, is is a new MIT Media Lab Fellow:

Meet MIT’s new fellows: Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown and politics wunderkind Michael Tubbs

https://www.fastcompany.com/90372453/celtics-star-jaylen-brown-wants-to-fix-american-schools

For those that don't want to read the articles, he will hand pick a group of about 10 kids from Boston’s disadvantaged communities and provide them with MIT’s resources: “The goal is to build a scholastic bridge connecting from higher university to our low-income community, reconstructing our education system one step at a time,” says Brown. I've got to say I'm pretty impressed that a 22 year old is doing this type of work.

You know, I wonder why this 22 year old who is already working to expand educational opportunities in new ways didn't bond well with the guy that claimed the earth is flat?*

*I don't care if Irving was trolling or not, how stupidly anti-education can you be?

Westbrook doesn't make Miami better than Philly. It might not even make that team a second tier squad.

This dude is my twin. Holy hell.



Nails it minus the T Rozier and he is a little overboard...but not wrong.
