On February 22, Jaden Springer made his Boston Celtics debut against the Chicago Bulls. Although he has only played a few games with the squad, he has seen differences between them and his former team, the Philadelphia 76ers, since joining them two weeks ago.
Prior to the Celtics and Bulls game, Springer gave an explanation of how the Celtics play basketball differently than the Sixers.
According to the Boston Sports Network YouTube channel of CLNS Media, Springer stated, “I feel like there’s more read and react.” “You’re going to the field, playing off one another and your teammates.” Thus, all you’re doing is reading what other people are writing. Not much is predetermined—”we have to do this, we have to do that.” Thus, simply hooping and playing basketball outside.
Prior to being traded by the Sixers, Springer also discussed what it was like to face players like Stephen Curry and Luka Doncic.
Yes, it was really great to be able to play against those people, Springer remarked. “Having that matchup available to me. It was amazing to be able to come here. For me, all of that was fantastic news. I’m in good spirits.
Springer’s role with the Celtics over the remainder of the 2023–2024 season is probably going to be minimal. In the long run, though, the Celtics will work to make him a regular rotation member.
Jaden Springer was shot by Daryl Morey.
Jaden Springer received some harsh words from President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey following the Sixers’ trade of Springer to the Celtics. Morey gave an explanation of the Sixers’ trade of Springer after the trade deadline had passed.
Via Sam DiGiovanni’s X account, Morey stated, “We had to look at, what are the odds Jaden Springer, who I think has a great future, helps our playoff rotation in the one, two, three-year horizon.” And what are our chances of benefiting from a second-round pick? We also considered the second
It’s simply the case that round pick was more helpful to us. It lets us potentially acquire a veteran by the deadline for the following year, and such.
Morey made it clear that he still thinks highly of Springer.
“We succeeded. It’s awful. I think Jaden is going to be pretty good. However, I believe his schedule is a little off. Our assessment was that the second-round pick could assist us more quickly than he could assist a playoff team.
The Sixers will have to play Springer four times in the regular season for the next few years if he signs with the Celtics.
Jaden Springer was wanted by Brad Stevens for a while.
Brad Stevens disclosed that the Celtics had been watching Jaden Springer for a while before making the trade deadline.
According to the Sports Network YouTube Channel of CLNS Media Boston, Stevens informed reporters, “We’ve tracked his development pretty closely over the years.” A few years ago, we liked him when he was selected. In that draft, he was the youngest player, and once more, he is still a puppy. He’s still only twenty-one.
Stevens continued, saying that their curiosity was only piqued by Springer’s performance in a preseason game against the Celtics.
According to Stevens, “I would say that the preseason game here had more of an impact than that.” “Already, we thought, ‘Whoah, that looks like strides.'” The other thing is that everyone who is as crazy as we areobserves everything related to the G League, and he excelled throughout the previous season’s playoffs. He’s done more nice deeds against us while residing in Maine. We’ve been following him for a while because we’ve seen him live multiple times up there.
