00:00I actually think the Celtics are going to be decent this year.
00:02No, they're not tanking, unfortunately.
00:04I got them as a four seed.
00:05Yeah, you're closer to right.
00:07Yeah.
00:07How many games they win in McCone?
00:08Four seed.
00:1047.
00:11I said 46.
00:12I was going to say they're going to win more than 40 games here.
00:14Yeah.
00:14For sure.
00:15They are.
00:15And then they're certainly not going to take the approach of tanking.
00:18But I think you're right.
00:18When it comes to Porzingis, you won a championship with him.
00:22But he has not been available for either of the postseason runs.
00:24Did you really, though?
00:25He gave you that one big game.
00:27Well, he gave you something.
00:28He contributed to it.
00:30No, but I just think you're 0 for 2 in terms of relying on him in postseasons.
00:34So you move off of a guy that was making a lot of money.
00:36Drew Holiday was not the same player this past season as he was.
00:39First year he was.
00:40He was a good ad.
00:41So two guys making a ton of money that weren't giving you the production that they were or were expected to even a year ago.
00:47Like if you're going to take your lumps with Biggs because you lost Horford and you lost Porzingis,
00:53well, this would be the year to do it before you figure out who that next guy is going to be.
00:57Because those guys were not going to be fat.
00:59Even if both of them were still here, there's no way they were going to be factors next year.
01:03Right.
01:03Does that make sense?
01:04Yes.
01:05Yeah.
01:05Yeah.
01:10Relying on Horford going into this season.
01:13And then, like you said, even next time, the guy's 67 years old at this point.
01:17They got more out of him last season than I thought they would.
01:19Yes, definitely.
01:20So I feel like they were already getting bonused on that player.
01:24So I think they're going to be okay.
01:28And they sound committed to spending.
01:30I thought it was, I think it was a great day for the Celtics, fellas.
01:33I do.
01:33You feel pretty good coming out of that.
01:35I feel better.
01:36And thank you.
01:38Bang the drum.
01:38I feel better about it today than I did previously.
01:41I, so their PR yesterday, it worked.
01:47Their PR, their press conference, it worked.
01:49It worked on me.
01:50You got me.
01:52You got me in.
01:53I'm buying in.
01:54I'm buying in on Bill Chisholm.
01:56I feel good that he's keeping Wick around.
02:00I'm in.
02:01Stevens is pumped up saying there's no, no one's telling me what to do monetarily.
02:06Believe it when I see it.
02:07But still, I'm buying in for a day.
02:09On this particular day, I'm in.
02:11I think that start of the season, too, is going to factor in with the Tatum stuff.
02:15Oh, absolutely.
02:16How about like one year from now?
02:17Or how poorly they play.
02:19I think both.
02:20I mean, if you get off to a hot start and you are squarely in the mix for the Eastern Conference
02:23with the way that he's rehabbing, you can't tell me that they don't have a target date
02:27in terms of him potentially coming back here.
02:30And if he can push it and you think that you're squarely in the mix, I think that they're going
02:35to give it a shot.
02:35If they think, you know what, this is a piece that can actually put us over the top in the
02:38Eastern Conference.
02:39Absolutely.
02:39They won't talk about the date, but they have to think about that date in the back of
02:43their head.
02:43We're green teaming, baby.
