This and That

It’s that time again. Time for another edition of my world famous This and That column. It’s been a while since I have done one of these but with the NBA, NHL, and NFL all in season and the MLB Hot Stove heating up, I figure there will be more of these in our future. So let’s dive right in and see what there is to talk about today.

Knicks-Timberwolves Block Buster

The New York Knickerbockers and the Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to trade Karl-Anthony Towns for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo.  There were other parts to the trade, and another team involved but these are the pieces that will matter for this season.  Before the trade I had the Knicks as by far the second-best team in the East.  Here is how I think this trade affects both teams.

Celtics Summer League Game 4 vs Dallas

Well, another Celtics’ summer league has come to an end.  Being their last game, the Celtics sat a lot of their top guys.  JD Davison, Neemias Queta, Drew Peterson, Jahmi’us Ramsey, and Jaden Springer all sat this one out.  Because of this, I am not going to make this one a true game review but rather I am going to give my overall Summer League impressions of the interesting guys.  I am going to preface this by pointing out that when I say I like someone, or that someone looked good, it doesn’t mean I think they are going to be great, or an all star or even a starter in the NBA.  You don’t have to be a hall of famer to be a good player.  Second thing I want to point out is that the Celtics rotation this season is set.  Barring injuries, there is no room for any of these guys to play (Queta the obvious exception as he’s in their rotation with Porzingis out). Some of them, however, may be able to take advantage of an opportunity if one should arise.

Celtics Summer League Game 3 vs Charlotte

The Boston Celtics played their third Summer League game this afternoon against the Charlotte Hornets.  To be honest with you this game was not pretty until the last five minutes when both teams decided to play well.  I haven’t even mentioned the winner or loser of the first two games because it really, really doesn’t matter but it was nice to see the Summer Celtics bare down in a close game and pull out the win.

Celtics Summer League Game 2 vs The Lakers

The Boston Celtics played their second Summer League game last night against the Los Angeles Lakers.  Bronny James is on that team in case you missed the play by play guy mention it 10,000 times, even when he was on the bench.  Listening to the announcers I am pretty sure he and that Knecht guy were the only two guys in the game.  (I so hate watching games without Celtics announcers!)  Anywho, lets talk about the guys whom Jared Greenberg wasn’t in love with.
