Celtics New TPE

[Celtics2021]

Otto Porter had a bad year in Toronto after a good one in GS. He makes 6.15m and might be gettable.

Wow, that would be great. I'd love Otto Porter.

Otto Porter is ALWAYS hurt.

I did not realize how much he was out injured these last few years. I knew he was out all last season. But he had a healthy year the year before in GS (63gms + playoffs) which is what stands out in my memory. But the two years before that 28 games and 56 14 games.

Man, he was always healthy early in his career. Almost 80 games a season for 4 straight years after missing time as a rookie.

I'd risk it. Not sure he is any less of an injury risk than Rob Williams, Brogdon or Porzingis. At least it is another body who may be healthy.

Fixed it for you.  14 games, not 56.

[Who]

Not a TPE player but I like Derrick Jones Jr as a minimum contract signing to replace G Will as our bench PF. Low skilled player but an athletic energetic forward who plays good defense. Good length.

I think he would work well at PF next to guys like Horford or Porzingis at center (cause they are skilled). To a lesser extent Timelord (unskilled).

Man, I looked at that twice and felt that was wrong but couldn't see it. Thank you.

Yeah, that is a tough one. So only 1 healthy year out of the last 4. I'd rather bring Muscala back.

I think there's a 98.7% chance that they won't use it this offseason. If they do use it it won't be till mid season when it's more obvious what our needs would be, whether it's a vet PG like Patty Mills or Ricky Rubio or a backup big like Thaddeus Young (or even Gallo). Brad likes flexibility, so now he has an MLE to sign someone outright, or a TPE to trade for someone.

Yep. That’s why I think Brad is done and we have everything he’s going to bring in

A guy who just fits the TPE is Avdija I would not mind Delon Wright at the same time but they would have to trade for him pritchard+kornet+champagnie would work for Wright

My trade with the Wizards is a re-do of the failed KP trade:

Brogdon to Clips

Morris, Coffey, and pick to Washington

Tyus Jones and Avdija to the Celtics.  We can even taken in Avdija with the Grant TPE and get a larger $8.5 million TPE for Brogdon.  Keeps us below the second apron and improves our depth a bit.

Otto Porter had a bad year in Toronto after a good one in GS. He makes 6.15m and might be gettable.

Plus he looks so much like Lionel Richie it’s confusing.

Wow, that would be great. I'd love Otto Porter.

Otto Porter is ALWAYS hurt.

TP for you.

Names I like that might be available (?):
- Saddiq Bey
- Kenrich Williams
- Jeremiah Robinson-Earl

I honestly wonder about the resolution rate of TPEs across the league - I get that the gut feeling for Celtics fans is that they never amount to any use, but I don't know whether that's true across the league.

Warning:  don't look at KP's games played.  They're not as bad as Porter's, but they're in the ballpark.  (65, 51, 43, 57, 0, 48).  It's a good bet that he misses 20+ games this year.

It's why I'd like to bring in a more reliable 4th big man than Kornet.

Porzingis has played almost 2x as many games since '19-'20. Not sure that's the same ballpark tbh

Where do you start the clock?  KP has 216 games played since 2019, Porter has 169.  I'd call that ballpark.  Go back a year further, or count playoff games, and the gap decreases even more.

It's not a pretty picture for either.  It would be a bad idea to bring Porter on, and it's a bad idea not to have a backup plan for when KP has significant injury.
