The Boston Celtics will look extremely weird next season

Yahooa day ago
The Boston Celtics will look extremely weird next season after the team's front office dealt away much of the Celtics' 2024 title core at the start of the 2025 NBA offseason. The Celtics decided to trade veterans Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis to lower the cap hit on the roster, let key backup big man Luke Kornet walk to the San Antonio Spurs in free agency, moved on from fan favorite forward Al Horford, and cut 2025 G League Most Valuable Player JD Davison to get under the league's dreaded second apron.
All told, this will leave the Celtics with a roster including new draftees Hugo Gonzalez, Amari Williams, and Max Shulga, new signees Chris Boucher, Luka Garza and Josh Minott, and recently-traded-for Anfernee Simons with the remaining Celtics from last season. The Celtics will have a very different look by default, and not all of it will be aimed at winning in the present.
The folks behind the "Sly Kai" YouTube channel put together a clip looking at Boston's new roster for the coming 2025-26 regular season. Check it out below!

Former NBA player calls the OKC Thunder his favorite team he played for

Despite being a small market, you always hear nothing but positive reviews from NBA players who played for the Oklahoma City Thunder. The city's nightlife may not be as colorful as other larger markets, but it's the perfect place to go to if you're all about basketball. Add Anthony Morrow to the list of former Thunder players who can attest to that. He recently went on the "Stories Untold" podcast. The career journeyman spent almost three seasons in OKC from 2014-17. When asked his favorite NBA city to play for, he went with the Thunder. "Oklahoma City, man. Oklahoma City Thunder. I was so happy because at that time, I had settled down. Had kids, family, all of that," Morrow said. "Oklahoma City was the perfect place for me at the time." The Thunder signed Morrow as a bench outside shooter. He played alongside Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook as they were a title contender. He averaged 7.7 points and shot 39.4% from 3 on 3.6 attempts in his time in OKC. He complimented the high-end talent and fans for why he loved his time there. "To be able to play for the best-run organization in the NBA and maybe in sports. Great staff, great teammates, two Hall-of-Fame guys, great team camaraderie," Morrow said. "It's Oklahoma City. We are the only pro team there. They treat everybody like Michael Jackson in the community. Eat for free, family eat for free, show love. It's right what I needed to stay focused on the court and off the court." The Thunder seldom pick up outside free agents. But when they do, they usually nail the additions. Morrow was a solid outside shooter in his time in OKC. Considering he played for seven NBA franchises, it's notable to see him pick the Thunder for the best franchise he's played for.

The masses want to know what their favorite player's 2K rating is in the game and the official Twitter account released the top 100 rated players in the game. The Philadelphia 76ers have an early entry on the list in the form of Paul George.

Other notable players with an 81 rating are Washington Wizards big man Alex Sarr, Portland Trail Blazers high flyer Shaedon Sharpe, and New York Knicks swingman Josh Hart.
