00:00The significant injury to Jason Tatum, the Seas looked at the roster and they said, all right, time to make some financial moves.
00:06They trade Drew Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis to free up some monetary space there in that payroll.
00:14What do you believe the Celtics outlook is this year in an Eastern Conference that is still very uncertain?
00:21Hopefully they're a top four or five seed in the East.
00:23Let's be honest, Ben, they had to make these moves because they were up against it in regards to the luxury tax.
00:29So they had they had to make moves.
00:30They really had no choice.
00:32And they chose two players that I thought were going to be the ones being moved, which was Drew Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis.
00:41Now, there's other things that that's going to be the downfall of the Celtics.
00:45There's also the fact that Jason Tatum is not going to play this entire season with the Achilles injury that he suffered in game number four of the Eastern Conference semifinals versus the Knicks.
00:54It's do they have the money to pay Al Horford?
00:57Oh, my God.
00:58Luke Cornett, who looked like Llewell Cinder one game blocking everybody's shot.
01:02He's gone to San Antonio.
01:04So now we look at a starting lineup of Derek White, Anthony Simons, Jalen Brown, Georges Niang, and Luka Garza.
01:12Oh, boy.
01:13Oh, boy.
01:14That is not going to get it done.
01:17And I question how Anthony Simons is going to fit in with Boston.
01:21He does not play a great defense.
01:23He takes terrible shots.
01:24I don't know how it fits with him and Jalen Brown.
