Celtics, upgraded again.
From the latest report from ESPN reporter today, Celtics and Pacers completed a transaction . The specific details of this transaction are:
-Celtics send Theis, Nesmith, Stauskas, Fetts, Juwan Morgan and the top 12 Shues in 2023 The first round of the game
- Pacers sent Brogdon
After the transaction was completed, the open-air stands posted a picture on social media - Celtics only sent some scraps and got Brogdon. The meaning is very simple, the Celtics made a fortune.
First look at the chips given by the Celtics:
—Tes, averaged 12.5 minutes per game in the playoffs, scored 4.3 points,
—Nestmith, averaged 3.5 minutes per game in the playoffs, scored 0.8 points,
—Stauskas, averaged 1.8 minutes per game in the playoffs, scored 1.0 points,
0 —Fetes, averaged 1.8 minutes per game in the playoffs, scored 0.9 points,
—Zhu Wan Morgan, averaged 1.7 minutes per game in the playoffs, scored 0.1 points,
— first round pick in 2023 (top 12 picks)
Among the five players, only Thece can barely be a rotation in the playoffs, and the other four are players who can't get playing time.
In addition, Nesmith also has certain training value. He was the No. 14 pick in the first round of 2020, and was ahead of Cole Anthony (No. 15), Sadiq Bay (No. 19), Maxi (No. 21) , because the Celtics have not had much room to train in recent years.
As for the first round of 2023, is the goal of the Celtics next season to compete for the championship, so it is likely to be the last at the end of the first round, and the transaction value will not be too great. Not to mention the top 12 picks protection.
Look at what they got again: Brogdon.
Last season, Brog averaged 19.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.9 assists , which was close to the "20+5+6" level. The three shooting percentages were 44.8%/31.2%/85.6% respectively, and real shooting percentage was 55.7% .
Among them, in the past three seasons, Brogg averaged 6.3 assists per game , among which in the 2019-20 season, he averaged 7.1 assists per game and only 2.4 turnovers.
Brogdon's advantage is obvious. He is a point guard player above level. Coincidentally, what the Celtics lack now is a real point guard - Smart's defense is greater than the attack, and Brown and Tatum's control ability is still insufficient, so the Celtics frequently have offensive power outages in the playoffs. It can be said that Brogdon can perfectly make up for the weakest link of the Celtics now.
Moreover, Although Brogden's three-pointers were not good this season, his three-point shooting percentage in his career reached 37.6% . In the last year of the Bucks, Brogden was still a member of the "180 Club" - Brogden's shooting percentage was divided into "big and big years" in the past three years with the Pacers. His three-point shooting percentage was less than 33% in the first and last years, and made 38.8% in the middle.
Of course, Brogdon also has shortcomings. In the past three seasons, he has only played 54 games, 56 games and 36 games respectively. Because of Halliburton's arrival, it was only a matter of time before the Pacers sent Brogdon away. In the end, he sent him to the Celtics at a low price, largely because of Brogdon's poor attendance rate.
But even so, the Celtics still make money from this deal. The latest news from is that the Celtics will still use double inside starts in the new season. Brogdon may play the sixth man . Their expected main lineup:
--First: Smart, Brown, Tatum, Horford, Rowe
——Substitute: Brogdon, Gway, Derek White, Pritchard
After joining the Celtics, Brogdon accepted: "I want to win the championship, I have always been worried in the past. Data, but now I'm going to Boston, I don't have to worry about this anymore."
He also said: " I can provide stability for this team. I am a ball holder and pusher. I can give Jaylen Brown and Tatum more opportunities to shoot easily. These guys have proved that they are champion winners at the championship level. I hope to help them overcome some difficulties and become a member of the championship with them. ml4. "
It is worth mentioning that , who just bought out with the Spurs, may also join the Celtics. In addition, the Celtics are also chasing Thomas Bryant in the free market. If both of these people come, the Celtics can really take off. Next season, Tatum will compete for the MVP and the Celtics will compete for the championship again.
