Porzingis traded to Boston
Marcus Smart to Memphis as part of a 3 team trade with Boston/Memphis/Wizards.
Smart will add some toughness, experience and character to Memphis. Maybe he can even rub off on Ja. Kristaps is looking every bit the unicorn. Not

Boston couldn't run it back so I understand why they made the move. It's a high risk high reward move to roll with Porzingis though.

I'm not sure he's the guy they need

White to start at gaurd. Get rid of grant Williams as well. Brog suppose they will keep him now. He was initially in the trade but it fell over I think.
Griz went from Brooks to Marcus Smart. At least if you are gonna talk shit Smart can kinda back it up.
-
I actually don’t mind the KP move to Boston. Not a big Celts fan but I think he could be a good fit.
Smart combined with a fit Adams helps sure up a bit of steely resolve at the Grizzlies.
Wizards are really really really bottoming out
-
Boston killed that deal,, great result for them
I don’t really get CP3 on the Warriors - EDIT - I mean from a pure basketball standpoint. I get from a salary perspective, and from a Poole & Draymond cant co-exist perspective. I'm just not sure I can see CP3 fitting into the way they play, or being able to run the 2nd unit effectively.

Rupert drafted by Portland.

Time for a rant.
The NBA Draft coverage absolutely sucks.
For some reason NBA insists on having the initial teams announced as owning picks including the team graphics and team hats when trades have already occured and those teams don't have that pick anymore.
For example Washington and the Pacers swapped picks at 7 and 8 (before the picks were announced) so in back to back picks you guys going up and putting on the hat of a team they aren't going to.
Then Adam Silver will come out 30 minutes later before announcing a pick and announce the trade that happened way earlier.
Then, ESPN don't even update the viewer of trades. I was following Boston who made a ton of trade downs and traded down from 34 and yet when it got to 34 they said the player was going to Boston when they already traded down but if you weren't following draft coverage elsewhere you wouldn't know.
If Super Rugby ran a draft this bad it would rightly be ripped to shreds for being amateur hour.
How can a billion dollar industry run this so poorly - just follow the NFL draft blueprint. Yikes.

I watched a few of his G League games and he’s bulked up a bit and was playing with a maturity that a number of other G-Leaguers didn’t have. He played okay on offence but he’s become a decent defender.
In saying all that, as a. 40+ pick, he’ll be back in the G League 😀
-
@KiwiMurph the only thing I’ll say on those trades tonight is that they did involve other pieces so the time lapse from when Woj announces it was because they needed to settle the other parts.
I do miss a good hat exchange like Webber and Penny

43rd, which is a drop compared to projections he would go in the 1st round. I saw him play and thought he had good length, and seemed to have reasonable handles and a decent float game. Interesting to see if he can make it into the rotation
