Perk: "Shoutout to Brad Stevens out here trading in used cars for Bentleys" 😂😂😂
Richard Jefferson hit the nail on the head. Everybody talking about Malcom brogdon and his offensive capabilities but he's an excellent defender which falls right in line with the Celtics team identity
Celtics play defense lol!.
They just added Gallinari as well. Celtics have the deepest team in the league along with the Clippers now.
Its only in papers it doesn't prove your good at papers can give you a ring
And still aren't going to win the finals no time soon... Tatum isn't what you think he is🥴😂
@@mallyg3125 🤡
Learn how to form a proper sentence noodlehead
@@PeteyF who your mother 🤣🤡
They added him for guys who weren’t even in the playoff rotation unless it was injury. Amazing move along with Gallo, I wonder if they use the 17mil trade exception🤔
Like how was gallo waived tho ?
@@Love.hammer999 Because Spurs are tanking
@@Love.hammer999 he didn’t want to be a spur so they waived him.
Is there anyone out there even worth the exception that is still out there
For a big would be nice 👍
The Celtics were a turnover machine late in the playoffs, and lost several games because Tatum was ice cold and Brown couldn't get up. The end result was Smart taking bad shot after bad shot. Adding Brogdon gives them another source of scoring and ball movement, and will hopefully bring more level headedness to late game situations. As a green teamer I couldn't be happier with this pickup
That was probably the winner of the free agency so far in my opinion , got an explosive combo guard that is consistent and averaged 20 6 and 5 over the last few years without even giving up any of their key pieces and shot 45% from the field great move
Injured
As a pacers, he should come off the bench. He gets injured very quick. 6th man with 25 to 30 min and he will help boston on ways that are not so easy to measure.
Whoever gets KD is the winner of this year's free agency
@@jimenezisbetta GTFO, The way everyone's talking is it's going to take a kings ransom to get him, I'd say teams like GS, Boston or Milwaukee who don't have to panic and give up All stars and all their assets are in a way better position.
explosive lol? youve clearly never watched a pacer game.
The shade b/t Perkins and RJ is hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Malcolm Brogdon was a steal if he stays healthy he’s exactly what the Celtics need. He can get a bucket, has the size, can facilitate compliments Marcus smart 👍
y’all call everybody a steal
@@jawick5150 a player that averaged 20/5/6 the past two years for the Celtics g league team and a 1st round pick is a steal lol. Especially after seeing what Gobert just got..
Health is the only concern. And if he starts or not.
@@brendangilmartin4002 • Yeah, injuries are part of the puzzle. Depth is a well. Play 🏀.
Actually a decent take from Perk. Also I feel like people dont talk about Brogdon’s defense as much, and with the C’s letting thies go, the roster all around got a little boost in defense. Just hope he is able to stay healthy.
He’s terrible defensively against guards. He’s better at guarding physical wings
as a GSW fan, celtics made great moves got a true point guard, and gallinari 3 point shooter. celtic best team in the east by far. see/predict replay of finals
Thanks Ronald. Means alot coming from a GSW fan and team who took us to school lol
If the Lakers get Kyrie, and with all the moves the Clippers have made and Kawhi returning, it's honestly more likely the Celtics make it back to the finals over the warriors. But I'm hoping for a rematch
Look forward to a rematch!
Celtics are good for sure, but the Heat are too, and the Bulls and Cavs are on their way. Then who knows where KD and Kyrie go, so things can change a lot still. Ime clearly has them on the right path though and a good coach is at least 25% of the battle. Also, the Bucks still have Giannis and if they can add a couple more 3 and D guys...
@@tribalypredisposed Depends a lot on who the Heat gets.
He always torched us whenever we went against the pacers glad he's on our squad now!
Love Legers analysis he is alway on point. Great move for Celtics Brogden is a Pg that can setup the offense and make good decisions and get his shout. This help Smart because now he can focus on defense and making shouts when needed. This can help Tatum and Brown as well just focus on scoring
Smart is still going to be a primary ball handler. Brogdon will the be back up. Smart as PG is the best role for him and what got the Celtics to the Finals. Moving Smart offball is what he's done for the past 7 or 8 years since he's been in the league. It doesn't work.
@@gyoyobw123 I agree with that but down the stretch he needs to find a way to get the ball to his best players, apart from that I love smart at pg
That's a great move for celtics
Lmao Jefferson had that look like he was saying in his head "this mf'n ninja here"
i am so happy with how much we improved this team celtics fans know the year before this season was horrid to watch with a garbo bench iso dominant so happy with how much depth we got now compared to langford parker and nesmith
@Bryan Smith yea fr lmao
Ime is a great coach but he was super limited with plays he could run because of how iso heavy Tatum and Brown were without a playmaker.
Having Brogdon and Gallinari allows Ime to mess around and try different lineups and run a mix of plays on offense based on the opponent.
That was probably the winner in free agency for the Celtics plus they didn't have to give up nun of their core players
He only plays 30-35 games a season and horrible teammate.
Celtics made some nice moves. Adding Gallo to stretch floor and got their versatile guard Brogdon (improves the playmaking) which they needed
With the Brogdon trade and Gallo signing, this is the potential line up for Boston:
PG - Smart
SG - Brown
SF - Tatum
PF - Horford
C - R. Williams III
6th - Brogdon
7th - Gallinari
8th - White
9th - G. Williams
10th - Pritchard
11th - Hauser
12th - Kornet
13th - Davison
Notes:
- Deep, versatile on both ends, adressed the needs on playmaking and shooting and can compete for another run in the finals potentially the championship.
-Still has roster spots to fill
-They could still add another impact player with veteran minimum or the juicy 17M TPE
-How will Tatum (23) and Brown's (25) continuing growth can impact this team for years to come.
Edit:
-based on reports, Smart will still be the starting PG and Brogdon will a bench role as a possible 6th man in the rotation.
I’d still have White as the 6th man off the bench since Horford doesn’t eat minutes anymore
Take kornet for Thomas Bryant or jalen smith and we chilling
@@Chickenpesto2468 would love that to happen!
Excellent analysis of the roster. Possibly add a veteran big guy to come off the bench, given Horford's age and R Will's injury history (fingers crossed he stays healthy). They signed Kornet, who I don't consider a solid backup, though G Will proved himself as an undersized big who can guard almost anyone and make threes.
Apparently reports say Brogdon is gonna be used as the 6th man for the team
Love it. Nice job brad 👍
They came close to a title this year, hopefully this guy puts them over the top. 😎
Malcolm is a true PG. Perk be wylin.
This is a great move for Boston and he should be a key player on helping them
Richardson face when perk mentioned KD 😂😂😂
Had me laughing hella hard bruh. Lol.
Brad Stevens is a chess player wow
If brogdon stays healthy and the chemistry is on point the Celtics should win it all next year. This team is too deep after adding him and gallinari.
The Celtics will go as far as Tatum and Brown take them. If both don't improve their game and handles, then I don't see them winning anything tbh
That’s also very needed. I think they’ll both improve especially after how they lost in the finals.
@@X5J2UY facts
Wym by chemistry ?
Could say the same thing about the Clippers
Legs with a fantastic breakdown. Coach talk there.
The Pacers had no room for Brogdon, he doesn't fit the timeline that they're trying to build. Plus Brogdon is injury prone he can't stay healthy, he couldn't play over 40 games a season with the Pacers. And the people saying we got robbed is bs. We have more cap space, which we should be going after Ayton in a sign in trade, so it helps even more. I believe we have 3 first Rd picks for next year, plus we can develop Nesmith to improve his game. So both teams got what they wanted, I'm happy as a Pacers fan
same can be said for the Celtics and Nesmith. good trade for both teams.
Nesmith has a lot of upside
He only has one season under 40 games
Nesmith has the tools to be a good player. The Celtics don't have time to wait for him to grow into what he's going to be.. even if they kept him, he would never play, so he wouldn't get better. I'm happy he's going to get an opportunity because the Celtics were not going to give him much of one
Soooo picking in the lottery for the next 4-5 years?
Great pickup!!
everybody talkin bout he injury prone all we need is 15 and 8 from him which a b alot easier.. hes not comin to Boston to b a high usage guy im sure he understands this hes literally gonna b the 3rd option
So happy about this trade. Also Aaron Neesmith it’s like a younger version of Jaylen brown. Pacer fans will love him. He just needs the time to play.
Younger jb?? Guy who can't even get bench rotation minutes and is way less athletic lol
For the ones who reads this just know this is only the beginning keep pushing, grinding, and fighting. Whatever it is in life you want to do to go after it life is to short. Life is a marathon not a sprint so go out there and live it up I hope all is well and goes well for you peace and one love.🙏🏽
I think he and Gallo can really help the Celtics needs(outside shooting, bench depth and turnover problems).Hope they also acquire a Rob Williams front court partner(Horford is aging). A PJ Washington type of player would be a nice fit.
CELTICS GOT STRONGER
Playing point guard in today's league is more about being able to control tempo and level the team out when things are getting out of control. He's a lot closer to a true point guard than smart. Chris Paul is a true point guard and he can score but he's not a combo guard.
They just got super deep at the guard positions. Brogdon, Smart, White.
As long as he can stay healthy this will take a lot of pressure off Tatum and Brown, Celtics just now need another outside threat but so far so good! Lets go Celtics 2022/2023 🍀🍀
Correct he plays well if he is healthy and so far he fits in the injury prone player group.
amazing how many 3-4 year college guys r so good in the NBA
Man that’s a great pickup
Great move. Look at the east. It’s combo guards in every backcourt. Smart/Brogdon Young/Murray Harden/Maxey Ball/Rozier
Garland/Sexton 😄
@@mikeanthony8122 fashooooo
And me and your mom
Brunson /mitchell soon🤣
Apparently Brogdon is gonna be used as a 6th man if reports are true
Rj face when perkin was talking lol
Brogdon is a PERFECT fit for what the celtics need, they are even more scary now
Let’s go!!
This a great look
As a Lakers fan, I have been wanting Brogdan for the longest….why couldn’t they trade Russ for him
So is smart coming off the bench again or they gonna run a small ball lineup with horford at the 5, JT at 4, JB at the 3, brogdon at 2, and smart at 1?
Or make Brogdon the 6th man
@Jayson Tatum exactly
Im high af, completely forgot about rob🤦🏼♂️
Richard face is how I look every time Perk speaks😂🤦🏽♂️
Imagine walking into TD Garden or the Lakers arena and seeing all those banners. Knowing you have a great shot to be part of that legacy and add another one. You don’t get that on any other team. That’s what drove Kevin Garnett to win a title in Boston. Looking up at those banners every day he went in there. That’s what he said
perk and the rest you how many true point guards are there in then maybe 2 or3 at the most
If they choose to not utilize him and actually learn how to run an offense. It won't matter who they add, or what they do. They added a shooter a PF and Brogdon can get his. Another shifty creating guard wouldn't hurt though. Someone with more quickness now that can facilitate as well. Give them different speeds.
Wish they had him during the Finals
Im not sure if they need a True point guard. And it seems like they are not looking for one either. There are just teams like that. Like the Clippers, or Dallas, or Bucks, and others. With Galo also there, this could be the best team upgrade so far overall. In this era of positionless basketball, most teams does not necessarily need true point guards, true centers, and true position of players. Most teams are looking for 3nD guys, or multiple position type of players.
Full rebuild .. sounds fun.
Perfect move for the C’s coming off a finals appearance in which dispute Marcus Smart saying they don’t need a true PG there’s not doubt in my mind they do and he’s the perfect one for this particular team. But hey what do I know 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
They don't they have Derrick White and Payton Pritchardson
The Celtics are stacked! If Robert Williams stays healthy, they have a legit shot to win it
Takes pressure off of Smart and increases their depth. He’s injury prone, but he won’t have to shoulder the load in Boston. Best move in the offseason.
the league is going to have so much parity
Brogdan left Milwaukee specifically for the same situation he is going too
His eyes are have cleared . He just wants a chip.
Nah. He wanted a money and got it. Bucks weren't going to pay him that much with them committing to Bledsoe, Middleton, Lopez and Giannis already
I thought i was the only one who remembered! Lol on the Pacers he was a 1st/2nd option so naturally hes gonna average more points and have more responsibilities. He didnt thrive too we’ll here in Indy even in that role and in his entire career he hadnt played a full season. Hes a solid player and i think he does help the Celtics improve i just dont think he adds what everyone else is saying hes gonna add to their team. Hes gonna go to Boston and be a 3rd/4th option and his perimeter defense is suspect at times
He needed a contract back then
@@macmillysoanti4357 he wanted the contract and a bigger role. He wasnt tryna be 6th man behind Bledsoe he wanted to start. He may not start with the Celtics they might put him at 6th man its a possibility im sure he’ll start though. It’ll probably be Smart, Malcom, Brown, Tatum and Williams
PG:Malcolm Brogdon
SG:Marcus Smart
SF:Jalen Brown
PF:Jason Tatum
C: Robert Williams III
Lmao...Richard Jefferson..."I don't know he's frustrated over here...too funny.
Turner Would be real Nice on the side of AD on the Lakers! He could play Center were AD doesn't want to play!
Tim is spot on
A lot of those turnovers were forced turnovers by the Warriors defense, not carelessness with the basketball. Brogdon is a great addition to come off the bench and just have that other option as a facilitator, and Gallinari gives them some spacing and a little more offensive output off the bench. A great off season for the Celtics who've decided to strengthen rather than drastically change the formula. Everything will be down to Brown and Tatum's continued development because they need both of them, especially Tatum, to go up a level.
Perk vs RJ funny asf 😂
He’s hurt all the time. Great player.
Smart probably told Perk how he feels .
So Perk is out here saying they don’t need Brogdon.
PG: Malcolm Brogdon
SG: Marcus Smart
SF: Jaylen Brown
PF: Jayson Tatum
C: Robert Williams
6th Man: Derrick White
And Grant Williams, Al Horford ^
And Danilo Gallinari
its already been reported Smart is still starting at PG
Love this for Big Al, he can load manage and save for the playoffs.
I dont believe they are going to start smart , I believe he is coming off the bench probably be brown at SG and tatum at SF then HORFORD and Williams
As crazy as it sounds I'd play smart at pg and Malcolm at sg instead of vice versa
Tatum is a capable passer. They are going to be ok with a combo guard running the point
Malcom on the Pacers was a 1/2 option. On the Celtics he’ll be a 3/4 option. Hes good and i think he helps the Celtics but I think people are over exaggerating his skills an ability a little. He hadnt played a full season ever due to injury. His defense isnt as good as everybody thinks either. Personally though hes a great dude and a great leader. I do think he helps the Celtics and i think hes gonna bring more leadership and great teammate qualities. Itll be interesting to see how things unfold
And also Perk is crazy for saying Malcom is a Bentley. Malcom is more like a stock v6 Mustang
Brogdon played 75 games his rookie year, then it was 48, 64,54, 56 and 36 games a year thereafter. Good luck Boston.
Most of the Celtics moves have been smart, signing Rob williams and Smart to those insanely team friendly deals, Same with Jaylen brown, Getting lucky JT didnt make all NBA few years ago saved Celtics $30Million, enough to make moves to get help for them to win a title. I dont see anyone on the roster that is overpaid, Unlike Gobert, Towns, bradley Beals, who are so vastly overpaid for their on court production. Jokic is a 2-time MVP so he earned that Supermax extension and hope nuggets can crush the warriors next year, but i doubt it!
BROGDON IS A 2-WAY PLAYMAKER. CELTICS LOOKING DEADLY
My advice to Malcolm. Thanks for the memories. But beware of the Curse of Cleveland!!!!!!!
What curse😪? Cleveland is trash
So the Pacers gave Malcolm Brogdon away for nothing...
Legs spoke facts!
Tatum still has to become a superstar for all this to work
That's right ▶️
Too bad he already is.
Legler providing great analysis.
Tatum 2022 playoffs: 100 turnovers
Tatum 2023 playoffs: 85 turnovers
Bruh . Imagine we traded them a package for brogdon AND turner 👀😂
We goin back to the finals baby and this time we gone be the one celebrating
y for they let Kendrick Perkins talk?
Sooo who starting?
Turnovers cost us a championship this year…. All we need is someone to help protect the ball and get us into our sets smoothly
Better pray you shoot 60 more free throws in 3 games vs Miami again
@@alexescutia4805 stop it Miami peaked already. They won’t be back to the Finals for the next 10 years
@@BIRDFADEAWAY peaked yet it took 60 more free throws than Miami for the Celtics to scrape by a win in a game 7….
@@BIRDFADEAWAY celtic fans really forget they got one title in 35 years lmao y’all ain’t those guys
@@alexescutia4805 You do know Miami lost PJ Tucker right? They just lost maybe their best defensive player who was the one guarding either Tatum or Brown most of the series.
Also Boston played extreme sloppy basketball with horrible turnovers and awful shot selection. Miami has gotten worse, Boston has gotten better and Milwaukee is going to get Middleton back. The two teams favored in the East this year have to be Boston or Milwaukee
Who did they give up bet not have been Marcus smart
uh we NEED to take the ball out of brown and tatums hands more. we need a pg thats more of a scoring threat who can initiate, and buy them a 1 on 1 or a mismatch by the time they get the ball. brown and tatum should get the same number of touches, but they should be dribbling less per touch. brown can improve his handle, but tatum is like 6’10. he already has a good handle for his size. the guards just should be better at taking pressure off of him if our offense is to improve.
Was that really the best package they could have gotten?
You can hear the Celtic bias in Perk like they didn’t need an actual pg
we def did he just doesnt wanna admit it
Yes they do need a actual point guard marcus smart is a great player but he's not a point guard
As warriors fan, I'm feeling sick right now...
Nice trade but would have preferred Dejounte Murray
Perk wasn't excited 😒 this is a huge pick up
This is the biggest trade so far they gave up nothing to get him Boston definitely got a good point guard
Absolutely wrong perk; the only player(s) in NBA history to come in and do it all was MJ and d.wade and there’s proven history to support that claim
Magic, Larry Bird...
@@tribalypredisposed Magic didn’t have a complete skill set neither did Bird, they were both playing as stars but so was LeBron - the difference was wade came in playing like a superstar from jump street and to take over the way he did his first three seasons was astonishing
Celtics look great if healthy next year
When it got to the Heat series and then the Warriors, the Celtics couldn’t adjust to the refs not calling reaching fouls. They just never learned you can’t drive with three guys ripping at your hands if they’re not gonna call it. Brogdon helps them with all of that!
kendrick perkins makes all segments tough to watch for me.
BUT WHO DID THEY GIVE UP!!! NEISMITH, OJELE, 2 6'6'' 3-d players, P. Prychard who shoud turn out to be a good shooter!!
They didn’t give up Payton prichsrdt
Brogdan decent but acquiring him is not going boost title hopes, they need a true PG first
Perk thinks bringing up lebron James alongside gibberish is a thoughtful insight 🤣
He was significantly better off-ball for the bucks then on-ball with the pacers
Good luck. He's never on the floor and he's always hurt
