The Spurs are trading Jakob Poeltl to the Raptors after the Celtics and multiple other teams attempted to trade for the veteran center. League sources tell MassLive that Boston offered Payton Pritchard, Danilo Gallinari and multiple future second-round picks for the big man ahead of Thursday’s deal. Ultimately, the Spurs elected to go with the Raptors’ offer which included a top-6 protected first-round pick for 2024, two future second round picks and center Khem Birch. – via Brian Robb @ Booth Newspapers Trade, Danilo Gallinari, Jakob Poeltl, Khem Birch, Payton Pritchard, Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors

They would be in 10th place and not fourth without KI. Hes beyond lost beyond the ears, but on the court, no way is he a net negative.And off the court and in the locker room, KI is a major liability.
Pud
Off the court? Yes. In the locker room? The team results speak otherwise. He makes his team better, but comes w headaches. But any notion that he's addition by subtraction in any way (just talking wins, which would include any team chemistry issues) is wrong.

More ammo for a wing!
Muscala's no Poeltl but he's reliable and has a 3-ptr in his small bag. We all knew he was always gonna be there if Brad wanted him. Onto shooters/wings now ... the fun has just begun!
Thunder To Trade Mike Muscala To Celtics by Arthur Hill
The Celtics will acquire big man Mike Muscala from the Thunder in exchange for Justin Jackson and two second-round picks, tweets Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Muscala, 31, has spent the last several seasons in Oklahoma City, playing a relatively consistent role as a solid floor-spacing frontcourt reserve as the team shifted from playoff contention into rebuilding mode.
Since arriving in OKC in 2019, Muscala has averaged 7.0 PPG and 3.0 RPG in 168 total games (14.5 MPG), making 1.5 threes per game at a 39.2% clip. Those numbers are very similar to the ones he has put up in 43 games (14.5 MPG) so far this season — 6.2 PPG, 3.1 RPG, and a .394 3PT%.

Damn! I wanted McDaniels bad ... Shit!!!
Thybulle To Blazers, Jalen McDaniels To Sixers In Three-Team Trade by Luke Adams
The Trail Blazers are in the process of finalizing a trade for Sixers defensive ace Matisse Thybulle, reports Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report (Twitter link).
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (Twitter links), it’ll be a three-team deal that also includes Charlotte. Hornets forward Jalen McDaniels will head to Philadelphia in the trade, says Wojnarowski, with the Hornets acquiring multiple second-round picks. Veteran wing Svi Mykhailiuk, whom the Blazers agreed to acquire in the Josh Hart trade with New York, will be flipped to Charlotte in this deal, Woj adds (Twitter links).

He's weird. Kind of like Kelly O. This year, Muscala is averaging 4.7 shots from the floor per game, with 3.3 being from 3. Thats an absurd percentage of shots being three pointers. Especially for a guy his size. God I hope they dont play him w RWill , with the thought being on offense , RWill under the basket, Muscala from 3. Offensively, it would work, but I dont know what you would defensively. I also hope this doesnt lead to more Al at PF. Although, Im okay with it in the short term as JB recovers. You can go big to help w the JB absence. I dont think he gets playoff minutes.

He could be groomed to replace Al ... similar skill set and a Vanderbilt lookalike on paper ...

He could be groomed to replace Al ... SCOUTING REPORT Power forward who is pretty much just a spot-up three-point shooter on offense… Doesn’t hit threes at anything above an average rate either… Decent athlete… Sticks within his role… Offers very little defensively due to short arms and thin frame… Not much of a rebounder.

He's going to get 10-15 / game until the playoffs, and then prob sit on the playoffs and not have his option exercised.
Thats my hope anyways. He can help 10-15 mins to keep Al and RWill rested for playoff push. He can help in the short term, cuz we can go big to partially offset the injured guards/wings.
I think this is short term focused. I hope, anyways.
He's a body who can hit 3's.

Short arms? He has the same wingspan as Vanderbilt at 7'1" yet a few inches taller at 6'10" and 240 lbs!

But any notion that he's addition by subtraction in any way (just talking wins, which would include any team chemistry issues) is wrong. I don't recall KI getting support from is teammates this past season regarding his vaccine refusal that caused him to miss 41 games, half the season.
That suggests serious locker room issues to me.
