ALL THE HATERS ASKING FOR HIM TO BE CUT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON. This is your chance for reconciliation!

  1. I am sorry Nair Jordan; I did not respect your game, and I hope you will forgive me

  5. I’m sorry.  I legit thought this guy sucked and was on his way out of the league.  In retrospect, I thought the same thing about Avery Bradley after his first season and he ended up being my favorite player for a while.  Maybe Walsh is following that same developmental path.  Only 21 years old.  My bad. 

  8. At least he’s also signed through next season. If he keeps up this trajectory, he might command a good size contract

  11. What they’re doing with this season is brilliant. Reset the salary cap, and give some of the young talent stashed on the bench or D League a chance to see if they can earn a role on a contender. Figure out who’s a keeper and who’s not, then spend money again next year on anywhere that’s weak. Walsh is a keeper.

  13. Everyone was ready to turn their back after that flagrant foul / push in the summer league.

    Jordan Walsh revenge tour.

  17. Once he grows into his body he’s gonna be insufferable. Out there movin slightly better than a baby deer and clamping dudes

  19. So many people didn’t even want to give him a chance *this* season, of all seasons. Straight up insulting him for not getting minutes as a 19/20 year old 2nd rounder on arguably the most stacked roster in the league. Ignoring his impressive Summer League performance this year only to double down on the insults after he sat preseason due to injury. Let the praise be as loud as the hate, because there was **a lot** of it…
    And may I remind you, Walsh and Minott are on the books for a mere ~5mil next season, which should give Brad some flexibility to spend while also ducking the second apron a second time to reset the penalties, allowing for an all-in season again spending-wise in 27-28. If Walsh’s play at that point demands a large contract, the timeline fits to match any offers he might get. Given Brad’s history he might just try for an early extension, but the other option affords more flexibility in the meantime if the end goal is exceeding the second apron anyways.

  22. I feel like jb had a talk with him, like this is your opportunity. Our team was so stacked it was hard for him to break into the rotation. Tatums injury was terrible but let’s look on the bright side of things here.

  23. Yea, it’s truly unbelievable how Jordan has taken his destiny in his own hands and gotten them demons out of his head. From one ring away from being relegated to the shadow realm to starting in the champion Celtics. Great to see the kid having success.

  27. He was so fuckin raw at Arkansas and his first years here he looked like a newborn deer at times but you can’t deny his tenacity, his build, and his instinct for defense (which was not a thing at arky lol he was a flashy dunker and cutter and that was with good setup). You could see his motor even in HS though, which is why they recruited him.

  29. I truly believe that Joe is like 75% the reason that he’s succeeding. You know he’s hyping up Walsh 24/7 behind the scenes.. *perfect* project player for Mazzula to develop.
