Speaker 1: Another franchise that is in dire straits, the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 2: A little bit of news.
Speaker 1: Josh only Heat highlights Richardson. You know, Josh Richardson. They
Speaker 1: show how good he is, you know, they show his
Speaker 1: three and D and it's always him in the Heat uniform.
Speaker 2: Do you ever notice that?
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: No, that's yeah.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, do they not have access to any
Speaker 1: other Josh Richardson b roll than this? Like they don't
Speaker 1: ever use him in a MAVs uniform ever?
Speaker 2: Because whatever editor's back there, if they see Josh Richardson Heat,
Speaker 2: like if it's like tag that, there's a way better
Speaker 2: chance that it's going to be a positive highlights.
Speaker 1: He's now signed a two year deal with the Celtics.
Speaker 1: That's good, right, I know, the delusional Celtics.
Speaker 2: Fans are excited. They're like, oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Macus Smartt, he got a deal. Robert Williams, he
Speaker 3: gets a deal. Oh yeah, baby, three and D. Josh
Speaker 3: Richardson only twenty four million dollars over the next two years.
Speaker 3: What a bargain. Q The duck boats being ship a
Speaker 3: coming for us. Yeah, that'll put you over the nets.
Speaker 3: The Bucks and the Hawks and the Knicks. I mean,
Speaker 3: Boston fans don't like.
Speaker 2: Hearing this, but like you went from manager at Staples.
Speaker 1: To assistant manager at Staples like Fournier is. It's a
Speaker 1: downgrade from Fournier to Josh Ritzerson and from Kemba to
Speaker 1: Dennis Shrewder. You literally got a demotion and you're trying
Speaker 1: to say, you know, it was more of like a
Speaker 1: lateral move, you know, right, yeah, this is more it's
Speaker 1: just like okay, and they're trying to feed us this
Speaker 1: bullshit and it's.
Speaker 2: Like, we know what your plans are. It's Bradley Beal.
Speaker 2: That's all you care about is Bradley Beal.
Speaker 1: Josh Richardson is just another pretty little trade chip. He's good,
Speaker 1: just just good enough to get a team like the
Speaker 1: Washington Wizards to bite on his potential because pat Riley
Speaker 1: liked him three years ago. I mean, we got got Jimmy,
Speaker 1: but obviously they wouldn't a trade him.
Speaker 2: They were like basically holding out for Josh.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, yeah, he don't want to get rid
Speaker 1: of Josh richards He's the new Tyler hero in the
Speaker 1: sense of like a guy not nearly as good as that.
Speaker 1: He wants you to believe they just hold onto these
Speaker 1: assets to make you think that they're good, and they're
Speaker 1: not that good. But like someone will fall for Josh
Speaker 1: Richardson maybe being a three and D guy, just like
Speaker 1: just like the MAVs did. He was an interesting little
Speaker 1: player for the Sixers. This is what Brad Stephen said.
Speaker 1: We feel fortunate to be able to extend Josh. He's
Speaker 1: a talented offensive player, a versatile defender, plays with an
Speaker 1: edge and a toughness that Boston fans will love. Boston
Speaker 1: fans are gonna boost some Josh Richardson, I tell you what,
Speaker 1: and when he goes three for eighteen, they are going
Speaker 1: to booshit out of him.
Speaker 2: I promise you that.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Certainly, the translation of what Brad really was.
Speaker 1: Meaning is that he is the perfect middlelevel exception to
Speaker 1: add to a package to entice a team that, oh,
Speaker 1: we'll give you a Josh.
Speaker 2: And Marcus Smart.
Speaker 1: Maybe Robert Williams rim protector three and D guy, very
Speaker 1: tough glue guy, and Marcus Smart he.
Speaker 2: Can defend off the bench. What do you think Brad
Speaker 2: Buil wants out? All these guys are fucking great and
Speaker 2: did a little research.
Speaker 1: Smart plus Richards and plus Williams forty one million dollars.
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal's salary thirty seven million dollars.
Speaker 2: So why do you think.
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart added a one million dollar kicker into his
Speaker 1: contract extension if he gets traded? Because he knows he's
Speaker 1: getting traded.
Speaker 2: That's how.
Speaker 1: That's how he's like, YO, if you're gonna get me
Speaker 1: out of this bitch, you might as well fucking pay me.
Speaker 1: In other words, Brad Stevens is hoping and wishing and
Speaker 1: praying that he's gonna get Bradley Beal without costing him
Speaker 1: Jalen because not Jalen, anything but Jalen.
Speaker 2: But what if Bradley Beal doesn't want to go?
Speaker 1: What if they got all of those pieces they extended,
Speaker 1: all of those mediocre guys. We'll say, no shade, but
Speaker 1: they're mediocre, right, Like they're not as good as the
Speaker 1: pieces that they had before, which also really didn't fit
Speaker 1: that well together to begin with, and weren't that good,
Speaker 1: So they're less than they were. What if they have
Speaker 1: all those pieces on a two year, three year deal
Speaker 1: and then brad doesn't want to leave, then you just
Speaker 1: got guys that you just got guys locked up fucked.
Speaker 2: A team that can't win right now.
Speaker 1: If they're locked into Richardson and Smart for two more
Speaker 1: years and then they can't win, then either that leaves
Speaker 1: what twenty twenty four like, that's when Jalen's final year
Speaker 1: of his contract is.
Speaker 2: That's with Tatum with one year left on his deal.
Speaker 1: Think about Jalen in an expiring and Tatum with one
Speaker 1: year left on his deal, and they're like, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know about the direction of where we're headed. That
Speaker 2: would be funny to see them win.
Speaker 1: It's just like, oh my god, the math just doesn't
Speaker 1: add up. The Celtics need to win, and they need
Speaker 1: to win now, because we know what it's like when
Speaker 1: players don't feel that their team has a sense of
Speaker 1: urgency and it doesn't appear that there is a sense
Speaker 1: of urgency. They have no backup plan. It's just Brad
Speaker 1: Beuele or Bust I fucking love it. I hate the Celtics.
Speaker 1: I say, I don't hate the Celtics, but I do.
Speaker 1: They're a piece of shit franchise. I love the two
Speaker 1: js and they don't deserve this. I like Marcus Smart,
Speaker 1: but I don't like Brad Stevens, and I don't like
Speaker 1: the arrogance of the Celtics organization, and I do like
Speaker 1: that this team is in real fucking trouble, putting all
Speaker 1: their eggs in a Bradbuel basket. And you know what,
Speaker 1: bull move, Cotton. Let's see how that plays out for you.
