After taking a week off to enjoy the offseason, the Green With Envy team is back to work. During the off-week, I sat down for a short interview with Grant Williams following his departure from the Celtics. We discussed a recent charitable donation from Quest Nutrition to his Grant Williams Family Foundation, his love of being a mentor, and touched on some fun subjects — such as if he really was the strongest player on the roster.
Williams also shared the most frustrating moments of his Celtics career and what he’s working on this summer to hit the ground running with the Dallas Mavericks next season.
There’s also a lot of ground to cover. When Joel Embiid stated that he wanted to compete for championships, whether in Philadelphia or elsewhere, he put the Philadelphia 76ers on notice, which sparked the customary [insert superstar] to Boston rumours.
According to Heavy’s Steve Bulpett, Boston is turning down requests about Malcolm Brogdon’s availability, despite the fact that a deal to move him as part of the Kristaps Porzingis trade fell through. Payton Pritchard, meanwhile, has been nominated to Team USA’s select team ahead of the FIBA World Cup. A week is a long time in the NBA, with news and updates flowing swiftly even during the offseason.
The complete episode is available in the embedded YouTube clip above, the Spotify embed below, or by searching Green With Envy on your favourite podcast app.
The Green With Envy crew also debates whether Payton Pritchard is the true third guard in the rotation or whether Dalano Banton’s stature and length will give him an advantage due to his defensive potential in drop and zone coverages. Of course, now that Brad Stevens and Joe Mazzulla have joined a new coaching staff led by Sam Cassell and Charles Lee, expect some debate about potential system adjustments.
