Why the Kristaps Porzingis Trade is Actually Genius
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- The Kristaps Porzingis trade took the NBA by storm last night, with the Boston Celtics sending Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for two first round picks, and the Washington Wizards receiving Tyus Jones in the trade.
The fact that it had to be a Marcus Smart trade is sure to leave Celtics fans in shambles, but I truthfully don't think you should be too upset about what you got for him. Porzingis is gonna do a lot for Boston, and his playmaking ability is actually a perfect fit alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. See the Boston Celtics trade away such an important piece of the core is sad, but this might be what the Celtics need to get over the hump.
And I'm sure not too many people care, BUT after the Bradley Beal trade and now the Kristaps Porzingis trade and getting Tyus Jones in return, I think the Wizards are doing a fantastic job of kickstarting their rebuild.

Who do you think won the trade?
Boston
Duh.
the lakers

The Grizzlies getting Smart for 2 FRP
@@jubal1794they also traded tyus Jones
As a celtics fan I will miss Marcus smart as he is the highest effort basketball player I've ever seen but I wish him the best the grizzlies are an excellent landing spot for him
He fills that Dillon Brooks role but actually decent on offense.
@@JazzYachtrocker so a 6'3 draymond?
6'3" draymond with a better shot. and some skill in the post. grizzlies fans gonna love him
and handles
Highest flopping effort you mean
Also, that KP post scoring is bonkers. Back on his last season in NY I think he was near the absolute bottom of the league. What a turnaround, especially through constant injury.
He's also 27 so while you COULD attribute his improvements as w one year thing he's also just now hitting his prime and growing into his body.
So, ideally, he'll be more of a headache for the likes of Bam and Jokic than just Horford?
Sometimes the best defense is to make the other teams best player play defense.... Am I following this correctly??
@@jordankelley8894 absolutely. He also stretches the floor at an elite level so the Jays and the smalls will have more room to cook.
What playing Luka ball does to a mf
Getting the best player and 2 1st rounders? Holy W Brad Stevens
KP + 2 1st rnd picks for Smart. You cant get any better deal than that. It is a win IMO.
Love this trade for Boston as a big man is needed ,but it will only work if JT and JB will dribble less and play more team ball
Robert is great defensively and Horford is good but is getting old so less minutes the better. Offensive they can get 3 happy but I don't think KP fixes that. The only thing KP maybe helps with is getting the ball out of Brown and Tatum's hands but even then I feel like it is going to turn out a lot like Dallas where they make him a spot up shooter.
I'm gonna miss Smart but most of our fans definitely have selective memory right now when it comes to his play. He loved Boston and that is what I will miss him for. We're a better team now though.
@kanajingly8957 eh you know how some people have rose colored glasses on. MS had some great moments but also a lot of lowlights too, terrible shot selection and outrageously bad turnovers. With Derrick White and Brogdon performing so well Smart became expendable.
an underrated part of what porzingis is adding to the Celtics is his playmaking running dribble handoffs around the mid and high post will be able to create a lot of easy looks for everyone especially tatum and jaylen brown cutting on the opposite side of where porzingis is at or around him for easy shots at the rim
Gotta score 130 to win with no D
@@killemkilluaCeltics still have defense thi
@@killemkilluaporzingis is a good rim protector and decent defender overall. Brown and Tatum are great defenders too, and they still have horford and Williams so there's not much they are losing on defense
He only averaging 2 assist but I see what u mean it may go up to 4 being traded there
0:34 0:53 2:35
The last two DPOY winners now play for the Memphis Grizzlies 🐻
Marcus Smart | Jaren Jackson Jr.
Smart is the best addition, He takes some leadership qualities to a youthful team. Overall a great move for Memphis
😊😊
Low-key grit and grind basketball again in Memphis
Their defense will improve. Rim protection changes offenses. This was a fantastic trade. Smart was ranked 27th out of pgs.
not sure how he was ranked 27th. not a lot of weak pgs but i wouldnt expect smart at 27. early 20s maybe.
KP is terrible . Idk why all of a sudden everyone loves him. He barely made his mark on a poor wizards team, Luka & the mavs couldnt stand him because he was 7’3 playing like a 6’2 rookie , I think his exposure is Boston will help everyone see he’s not the same player ppl think of during his NY tenure
@@bns434a hater
@@bns434 I dont know what you smoke, but that is heavy shit!!!
Post passing hub is a nice term. Porzingis trade was immensely good
Smart was overrated DOESNT mean he was bad he was just way to hyped up he was no star just a decent player this is a win for Boston
love the content more of a football guy and a casual basketball fan so love Insite and value you try to explain about the game and players.
Really appreciate that, glad you enjoy it!
So if this will be the final trade that they do, their current line-up will be:
PG: White/Brogdon
SG: Brown
SF: Tatum
PF/C: Al, Rob, Kristaps, Kornet
Yeah they need to think about their backcourt rotation
Pritchard, Hauser
Brogdon went to Clippers right
@@absshire7984No.
There backcourt’s fine - White, Brogdon, and Prichard - is an excellent PG rotation, what we need to focus on is a wing to backup JT and JB, hopefully someone like Bruce brown in Free Agency
Grant Williams?
Great analysis! I hope the Celtics put in the work to deeply integrate Porzingis.
Smart was much more of a problem and hindrance than people think. He also because of ego really limited when we could play white or brogdon and not mess with chemistry. Freeing that up will be beneficial as well .
I agree and I don’t understand how people didn’t see that. Hes a player that should come off the bench not a starter that calls out JB, JT or the head coach….
Exactly
Al Horford just sighed the biggest sigh of relief in basketball history. That man can’t keep playing 20-30 minutes a night and he’s not good enough to be taking up that much floor time.
Man im french i follow you for longtime and i view the same analyse of you again and again and again 💪🏼💪🏿
What I like in this trade is that Derrick White gets to Close games now.
Good point
Hurts to see Smart get traded, but hopefully JD Davidson gets some playing time now.
Probably a trade that needed to happen. We’ll all miss Smart but if Brown was not gonna go one of the guards definitely was. KP will be a great addition if he stays healthy. Hope they keep Brogdon now, otherwise need a replacement, D.White won’t be enough.
Horford, RobWill, KP is such a versatile big rotation, I don't see how they can keep all three and grant though.
Grant is the odd man out
Horford will get less minutes since he is getting old.
@@neckius3002 I can see it. I moreso meant financially because with a Grant resigning I think that’ll be something like 92ish mil on bigs alone assuming grant gets like 40/3 or something
@@neckius3002 sorry never mind I thought Horford was still on that 30M per year deal. They’re fine!
First video of yours I’m watching. Great vid! You made a lot of great points.
I like that you’ve been showing your face more. Love your work bro
I’m honestly not upset about losing smart. We needed to retool and I felt like smart should have been gone after last year
Memphis needs that leadership from Marcus smart though. Inside and outside the locker room. Good move for the grizzlies in my opinion.
Smart is not something you can't find.
Maybe KP coming to Boston is a good thing but losing Smart is the worst
really wished the brogdon trade went through because id flourish more with marcus smart than brogdon imo
Back here months after we won the title. This and the holiday trade sealed the chip
This is some serious insight 🫵
p.s. greetings from 10 year experienced bball coach from Europe✌️
We were supposed to RUN IT BACK.
The city of Boston is not happy about trading away Smart. He was our own homegrown heart of the team.
im excited about watching this team with KP. Boston hasnt had a good scoring center in as long as i can remember. altho KP may be playing a PF position if he plays with williams on the floor..
Bro Boston fans are happy about this trade!!
My heart still hurts
the issue wasn't smart, it was the left hand dribbling.... I don't see this changing
cant wait to see marcus smarts new hair colors
what a week for the family, a big trade and dad tried to take over Russia.
We now have a post player scorer
Now they need to make the Dame for Jalen trade. This will give them an elite point, wing and big.
Knicks KP was CRAZY
we'll know after 2023-2024 season if Brad Stevens was able to inherit Danny Ainge's genius moves on tading players while maintining a competitive team to play deep in the playoffs
idk why everybody so pressed with brown he is still an elite shot creator he just has to tighten his handle and respond better to the increased attention in and around the paint he is getting
M Brogdon was 6th man of the year. Keeping him is not irrelevant.
Luka on the Best Post Scorers is Crazy
‘It helps me out a ton’ 👀wonder where I heard that before?
The most underuitilized talent in the NBA. He can be as good as Jokic playing high post and pick and roll. He inly needs a coach who usnersysnd basic bashetball dynamics.
KP will be the first legit center they've had since The Chief. For that reason alone this is an exciting trade, if the guy can stay healthy.
My only regret is that they traded Smart.
A much better move would have been to keep Smart and trade tatum, who is a role player at best.
They've been trying desperately to sell him as the second coming of Bird, when he's more like the second coming of Scott Wedman, (though not as dependable).
Thanks for the memories Marcus.
Who the fuck is Tingis Pingis?!?!?
upset about losing smart? f no! we love it! bring on KP
Damn all this analysis yet everyone is ignoring they haven’t addressed the biggest issue with their team. A lack of an actual PG or someone who’s capable of being a elite playmaker
Both D. White and Malcolm are true PGs. Elite passing is rare around the league but our guys are great perimeter defenders, can stretch the floor and create their own shot. Plus they're willing passers and that combined with KP's post passing, I think it'll work out more times than not
who is AlexHoops?
No loyalties just business 😂
Now they need to bring kemba back or at least a vet point guard like rose or something
I love this trade. Now if we can only develop a system of basic basketball and ball handling. All this bad low IQ basketball needs to regress to 80's and 90's effective basketball. Great job Denver.
A full force starting 5 with Robert at the 4 must happen or they'll piss away another chip
Smart and Al Horford is 2 pieces that doesnt belong to Voston if they wanna win the chapionship. This is inproved roster for Celts for neyt sesson. It's that simple! Horfor cant be spirituak leader as oldest plyer in Boston because he is not chapionship pedigree player.
You should make an Austin Reaves video
This reminds me of Kyrie to dallas but they gave up way less (for boston)
Tytus Jones doesn't matter because Pritchard is better.
Boston going big like Denver.
the only way to win in The New League.
I still dont see them winning the chip next season 🤷
What do they need then you idiot. They just added one of the Best Superstars in the NBA.
Boston needs to stop playing iso ball thats their biggest problem
They haven't had a post player since Kevin McHale and Robert Parish that is their biggest problem and their coach is garbage.
I am personally fine with smart leaving
Problem with him has been injuries... If he can stay on the court Celts will be better offensively
The gsw pick could turn out to be a lottery pick.
Agreed
Coulda kept marcus if we never got rid of ime. We would have won the chip with ime
Gingus pingus ftw
The cp3 of big men
what about cp3 to gs?
promise u we dont miss smart like you think we do
I think westbrook will fit right in in boston.
he is gonna guard Wemby
Washington going for a full rebuild
I just hope Tatum and Brown can finally grow a sack
Best dou
You're a beautiful man Alex.
Of the top 10 post scorers list, 8 guys are European... What's that say?
Everything looks good until they started playing
So Galinari ate up a year's salary, did nothing, and now he's moving on. Must be nice to be a pro athlete.
This the first time Ive seen bro face
It seems to me that Washington is some kind of junkyard 😂 whenever you don't know what to do with a player you usually send him there.
And any movement from there for a player is considered to be an upgrade.
Porzingas, Robert Williams and Al Horford will be solid at center/power-forward combos, and Tatum and Brown will be real good forwards-guard combo and White and Brogdon can hold down the fort guard wise on both offense and defense. A bench of Hauser, Williams, Pritchard, Davison, Champagne, Jordan Walsh and Kambengele can put up points to give the starters a decent blow. The refs hated Smart and the new flop rules make him a hazard on defense. In the 4th quarter Marcus was a bricklayer choker. Celts might still trade Pritchard and Williams and might find another 6"-8" swingman. They look to be in better shape than last year.
The less Jaylen Brown dribbles, the better.
It's all speculation. We will see...
He going to the Bulls
Nice
Boston now has, pretty clearly, the not talented roster in the league. I thought that last year but now it's even greater
Boston won. Their acquisition can drag defenders to the top of the key or take the rock to the hoop.
Came for the Celtics analysis, stayed for the 👁️👁️👁️👁️
If we could just get someone to take that BUM Jaylen Brown off our hands before he loses another series for us by dribbling with his Reeboks
they dont need brown
Malcom Brogdan is the best player in this whole trade deal. Good player to buy cards of and hold a true point guard with that 50/40/90% shooting
Except he’ll play 25 games next year
Promo*SM
It was time to move on from Smart
Its not even make sense at all..😅
nope, not gonna happen
He went nowhere with luka neither did he go anywhere with beal neither did he go anywhere with Carmelo so how is he going to achieve anything with no show tatum and brown
