I hope, maybe today is a slow day and that is why the talking heads are bringing it up.

I kind of wish that Stevens waited a bit just to see how Porzingis actually fits in with the rest of the team. 
from cbssports.com:
Kristaps Porzingis has agreed to a two-year, $60 million extension with the Boston Celtics, according to Chris Haynes. Earlier this month, Porzingis picked up his $36 million player option for next season in order to facilitate his trade to the Celtics, and this extension, which kicks in next summer, will keep him in Boston until 2026.
Porzingis was traded from the Washington Wizards to the Celtics in a blockbuster three-team deal that sent Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies and Tyus Jones to the Washington Wizards, in addition to a number of draft picks swapping hands. The big man is coming off a bounce-back season, both from a health and production standpoint. He played 65 games, his most since his second season in the league, and averaged 23.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks, while shooting 38.5% from 3-point land.
The guard-heavy Celtics needed a major frontcourt addition, both for the present and future given that Al Horford's turned 37 earlier this month and Robert Williams III's injury history. Porzingis' rare ability to protect the rim on one end and space the floor on the other made him a perfect fit for the Celtics. He can also punish switches near the basket, giving the Celtics' offense some much-needed flexibility.

extension was probably the condition he had for opting in and accepting the trade here

Meh he is just sticking with his evaluation. Plus the signing will engender some good will from KP and others. But with his injury history and a potential bad fit, they might have waited. That said, I do not like KP because he does not really play inside and is too broken down to defend. However, he seems genuinely glad to be here and is a smart player. If Brown and Tatum cooperate, they might have a really good high post center. Edit, as was astutely already said, the extension was probably the condition for accepting the trade. Follow the money.I kind of wish that Stevens waited a bit just to see how Porzingis actually fits in with the rest of the team.

Celts and Bucks are competing for Terence Davis. I like him. He can shoot, defend a little, and though he is more of a shooting guard, can play some small forward.

Need to have it. They only have around 10 contracts right now, need to get to 14/15

They are far from done. I still think Grant will be gone, though his lack of immediate market is interesting. I also still think Brogdon is gone in a separate trade.
Seems like he’s gonna steer the deal to Miami and Portland will respect what he wants
Strus and Vincent leaving Heat. Lillard requests trade. I will be stunned if he lands anywhere but Miami.
They can't trade Grant, It would have to be either Brogdon and brown, Brogdon and white, or something like Brogdon, Timelord, and basically all their lower contract roster players.
I don't think Dame is coming to Boston. I suspect NY or Brooklyn as they both have a ton more to offer than Miami. Best Miami can do is Herro, Robinson, and a couple of #1s. And Robinson is considered a negative contract
