They don't have the assets to go out and get Giannis. They just don't have the draft picks. They don't have the young players that people would want. So that little fantasy, unless, you know, I could never predict the Luba trade, so I'm not going to say never say never, but I don't see it happening.

Look, they need someone who's a strong interior defender, who also is a lob threat, so that we can set up kind of the Luka, Derek Lively, like, alley situation. And frankly, on the wings, they need 3 and D players. And so right now, they're saying, oh, Austin reads, he's off the table, we love him, he's like family, everyone in the locker room loves him.

out they're gonna have to trade austin reeves if they want the level of guys around luca that they need because right now if you're an opponent and you're coming down the court and you see austin reeves on one side and luca on the other it's like turns files so like you get to choose which one you go through because they don't defend at the level that you need defenders to be elite in the league right now

Like the Celtics, even when they were down 2-0, it weirdly felt like they were fine. And, you know, New York didn't beat them all season. The Celtics were historically fluky and sort of missing so many three-point shots. And by the way, we give the Knicks defense credit because Mikkel Bridges, Josh Hart, there's just so many guys who really stepped up in those two games.

But the Celtics are the Celtics. I mean, they just have all the pieces back that won that title last year. I think it'd be so fun as someone who lived in New York for 20 years. I think it would be so fun to see the garden rocking through conference finals, maybe even an NBA finals. The outs are not with them right now, even though they're up to one. But, you know, who knows?

Krzysztof Korzykis ends up being out for a while. Something else fluky happens.
