Ready to go over the show, Martin, and then all of a sudden, bam, the Celtics said,

we don't like none of y'all except Jason Tatum.

And they're getting rid of somebody else, too. And that is Christop Porzingis. This just coming out that he is going to be traded. It's a three-way trade. So looking at that right now. You got Boston, Atlanta, Brooklyn, three-team trade. You know, Chris Stapps and a second-round pick from Boston to Atlanta, Terrence Mann, and Atlanta's 22nd overall pick to the Nets, George Nying, and a second rounder back to Boston. So it sounds like Boston just wanted to move on, essentially, from Chris Stout, Porzengis. Number one, unless I'm missing something, has it come out what his issue was during this postseason? No, I have not seen that reporting. Right. And I haven't seen it. And it's kind of just one of those things because Jason Tatum goes down and that obviously hogs all the headlines. And so we stopped talking about it. But that was just strange. And he wasn't right. Something respiratory. And he just never looked right. And they were trying to give him some minutes.

And you thought, all right, Tatum goes down.

You still got Jalen Brown.

And if you have a 80% Kristopozyngas, then you feel, all right, we got a shot with all the rest of the guys. And he just never could get right. And that's why I think this trade is easy for them. obviously there's more trades to have conversations about with specifically this one

because I think for them it's kind of easy to move on when I never really had you

you know and he hasn't been trades to have conversations about was specifically this one because I think for them it's kind of easy

to move on when I never really had you you know and he hasn't been able to play much last season he was

in and out of the postseason exactly and ultimately because they were so loaded they won three balls

going for him they were and they were deep but then this year out all the time and he's been

historically injured injury prone whether it was with the mavericks

whether it was with the Knicks so i think for them sure in a perfect world wouldn't we want a

seven foot three guy who can stretch the floor shoot is still relatively young and and you know

can still produce but if he ain't there well they always talk about availability being the best

ability and that's not the case for him.
