Porzingis to Boston?

Picks come and go these days. The C's got something for pretty much nothing.

Picks can become Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown (or at least Rob and Grant Williams). Holliday is 33 and has two years on his deal. Celtics better hope that Jordan Walsh becomes a contributor (he might). I see the details that it that their own pick is 2029 and the Warriors pick in 2024, so that's not too bad. They still have their pick next year. Not as bad as I thought.

The way things are now, a team can always get more picks if that's what they want to do. And two years on his deal is perfect for what they want him for. The future is now, we're not in the Bloomiverse.

I'm coming around to it for that reason.

I like the Theis thing, now a world champion and they really just need bigs for rebounding & defending Embid, Jokics of world.
You should be coming around for these reasons too;
1. Holiday is really good, as good or better defender of guards vs Smart, close on wings (notwithstanding Butler torching him in playoffs last year) and a better offensive player than Smart
2. Holiday is an even better person, he took a year off from his early NBA career to be with his wife thru her cancer treatments
3. Win now per above, Celtics needed to go all-in on Tatum & Brown window - Bucks were the East favorite for less than a week
4. As I said above making the Bucks games a legit rivalry now is great.
5. Holiday didn't go to Heat or Sixers

I always wondered if a player took a healthy year off it would payoff with a longer effective career. The body would have time to heal whatever nagging issues going on.
