How The Celtics Built Their CORE
How The Celtics Built Their CORE

The Blueprint: From Assets to Banner 18 The Celtics' current starting five all have direct or indirect roots in the assets acquired from Brooklyn. The Foundational Duo (Brown & Tatum): Jaylen Brown: Drafted #3 overall in 2016 using a Brooklyn pick. He eventually became the 2024 NBA Finals MVP. Jayson Tatum: Acquired after Boston won the 2017 Draft Lottery via a Brooklyn pick swap. They traded down from #1 to #3 to select Tatum, who became an All-NBA First Team cornerstone. The Trade Tree Expansion (Holiday, Porziņģis, White): Jrue Holiday: Boston acquired Holiday in 2023 by trading Robert Williams III, who was drafted with the final 2018 Brooklyn pick. Kristaps Porziņģis: Acquired in a three-team deal involving Marcus Smart. While Smart was drafted in 2014, his selection was made possible because the Celtics could prioritize guard depth knowing their future wing positions were secured by upcoming Brooklyn assets. Derrick White: Traded for in 2022 using a package that included Romeo Langford (drafted with a pick from the Kyrie Irving trade, who himself was originally acquired using a Brooklyn asset). Why It Worked While the Nets pursued a short-term "win-now" window with aging stars Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, the Celtics used the unprotected picks to bypass a traditional "bottom-out" rebuild. By the time the Nets' veterans left just two years later, Brooklyn was at the bottom of the league, and their top-tier lottery picks were flowing directly to a resurgent Boston team.



WAKE UP! Amad Diallo is the NEW Antony 📉 #mufc #manchesterunited #amaddiallo
WAKE UP! Amad Diallo is the NEW Antony 📉 #mufc #manchesterunited #amaddiallo

The hard truth about Amad Diallo that Manchester United fans refuse to accept. We need to stop the bias and look at the actual statistics for the 2025/2026 Premier League season. Everyone is over-glorifying Amad Diallo, treating him like the ultimate star boy under Michael Carrick, but the reality is shocking when you compare him to massive flops like Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Memphis Depay. Amad Diallo has played over 2,000 minutes in the Premier League this season and has only registered 2 goals and 2 assists. That means he is getting a goal contribution roughly every 500 minutes. If we look back at Antony's worst stretches, or Jadon Sancho's 2022/23 season before he was exiled, they actually produced double the goals in fewer minutes. We ran Memphis Depay out of Old Trafford for scoring 2 goals, yet we are giving Amad a free pass because of his "link-up play" and "vibes." As we head into the massive fixture against Liverpool to secure Champions League football after that disastrous 0-0 draw against Sunderland, Manchester United cannot afford to carry passengers. The INEOS rebuild demands ruthlessness, yet we are relying on an average winger who isn't producing the numbers required for a top-level Premier League side. Why is the Manchester United fanbase so protective of Amad? If any other rival team had a winger with 2 goals in 2,000 minutes, we would be laughing at them. It's time to wake up. Are we going to keep pretending he is the answer on the right wing, or are we going to admit he is just Antony 2.0? Drop your thoughts in the comments. Am I being too harsh, or are you guys blinded by the hype? Welcome to theunitedcut. We don't do biased opinions here; we look at the raw data and tell the truth about Manchester United.

JOEL YOUR TIME IS UP! THE PROCESS IS OVER! ITS A WRAP! SWEPT BY THE KNICKS 4-0 🤦🏾‍♂️
JOEL YOUR TIME IS UP! THE PROCESS IS OVER! ITS A WRAP! SWEPT BY THE KNICKS 4-0 🤦🏾‍♂️

Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers just got swept 4-0 by the New York Knicks… and the truth might finally be here. Too many injuries. Too many missed games. Too many playoff disappointments. The Sixers invested YEARS building around Joel Embiid and Paul George — and what do they really have to show for it? Another early exit. Another season ending in embarrassment. At some point, the excuses gotta stop. Availability matters. Leadership matters. Winning matters. Is it finally time for Philadelphia to blow it up and rebuild? 👀 🎥 FULL TAKE IN THIS VIDEO 🏀 Agree or disagree?

Mickey Moniak enjoying career renaissance with Rockies
Mickey Moniak enjoying career renaissance with Rockies

Mickey Moniak was supposed to be the next big thing in baseball. The #1 overall pick to the Phillies straight out of high school in the 2016 MLB Draft, the outfielder never turned into the star many expected he would be. After spending time with the Phillies and Angels, he signed with the Rockies right before Opening Day last year. He was oftentimes the lone bright spot in one of the worst seasons in baseball history last year, and now he's building off of his success as the Rockies continue to rebuild.



The Memphis Grizzlies Get the 3rd Pick in the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery | iTalkHoops
The Memphis Grizzlies Get the 3rd Pick in the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery | iTalkHoops

Hope is back in Memphis. After three long painful years — the suspensions, the injuries, the locker room drama, the 25-57 season — the Memphis Grizzlies walked into the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery tonight and walked out with the third overall pick. I told you what to watch for on lottery night. And when the Sacramento Kings came up at number seven instead of Memphis — that was the signal. We jumped. The rebuild just got real. The full lottery order: Washington Wizards Utah Jazz Memphis Grizzlies 🎰 Chicago Bulls LA Clippers (via Pacers) Brooklyn Nets Sacramento Kings Atlanta Hawks (via Pelicans) Dallas Mavericks Milwaukee Bucks Golden State Warriors OKC Thunder (via Clippers) Miami Heat Charlotte Hornets Memphis also picks 16th and 32nd in this draft. Three picks. No bad contracts. A slew of first round picks from multiple teams. The largest trade exception in NBA history. And the Ja Morant trade still to come. This is not guaranteed to be the next Wembanyama or Cooper Flagg. We need to see summer league. We need to see year one. But that is not the point right now. The point is that Grizzlies fans have something they have not had in two years — a direction. Something to point to and say this is where we are going. Zach Edey. Cedric Coward. Pick three. That is the foundation. Utah badly wants AJ Dybantsa at two. What does Washington do at one? Does Darryn Peterson fall? Does Caleb Wilson fall to Memphis? Does Cameron Boozer end up in a Grizzlies uniform? The next six weeks are going to be the biggest smokescreen season in recent draft memory. And we will be here covering every rumor every move every workout. Happy Mother's Day Grizz Nation. Hug your mother. She might not know why you are so happy today — but you do. 🔔 Subscribe — the next video breaks down every option Memphis has at pick three. 💬 Who do you want Memphis to take?
