Why is he going to join a team that swept him in the playoffs?

It’s rumored that Boston never reached out to the Nets! It’s believed that many teams are trying to create a schism between the Celtics and Jaylen Brown. This is crazy

Celtics should learn from the Warriors, Stay with your Young players! Think of it long term and build those young talents, Lakers did it and they fucked it for the long term just to get a strong starpower team and what happened? Lakers had their worst season this year with THAT same starpower team. Trust in the rookies to develop and who knows, maybe they’ll become one of the best players and make history.

These clowns really just say Tatum wasn’t clutch in the playoffs?? They forget him outplaying KD in the first round and going toe to toe with Giannis?? Yes he was bad in the NBA finals, but he willed his team to get to that point!

Bad Idea for Boston because now they lost JB trust and how they just gave him up for KD. JB was their best player in the playoffs. JT and JB both can win with the right pieces around since their defense is top tier.

Brooklyn organization sucks you have a really good team but instead of building your roster especially with kyrie and Durant you should been worrying about a backup pg like a Jamal Crawford should of went and got Allen back for center and levert defense kept Seth and Patty and Brown everyone else on chopping block even Simmons if he not playing yall can’t build yall team because yall not a good organization need get a coach like Mark Jackson and Steve Nash could be assistant coach Mark will help there defense because that what killed them No dam defense

Weather teams get one or both here are the senarios. I should be a GM with all this creativeness.haha.
I don’t know why KD and Kyrie’s 1st choices wouldn’t want to include the Bucks with giannis. Thsts a big 3 that would be unstoppable. They would have to give Chris Middleton tho and multiple draft picks.
Plus Giannis is a point center and KD and Kyrie can play off the ball.
Or the 2 time in a row current mvp Jokic on the Denver nuggets? That’s a big 3 that would be unstoppable. Plus Jokic is a point center and KD and Kyrie can play off the ball.
Or the clippers. Trade Khawi for KD since he never plays and is always injured. Sign Kyrie you can put hime at SG since John wall plays PG. and you PG and KD can play the 3 and the 4.

Boston wants KD. Send Tatum. Nets need equal value for KD or no trade.

Allstar and DPY and multiple 1rd picks for 34 yrs aging KD with an injury history… Bos is dumb enough to even start the conversation and even if the trade doesn’t happen, they ruined the team chemistry as Brown is not going to be happy…

The NBA Trade Request is never on the terms of general managers, such bad business decision and practices of Joseph Tsai and Sean Marks is a violation against the NBA Trade Request policy, and at the same time NBA Teams in the same Division can’t trade within the same division. The NBA Trade Request policy states “general managers can only complete NBA Trade Request with average players (competitive) not Blue-chips or pending Blue-chips (Draft Picks) and the salary value contract have to equal the NBA player trade request salary value contract”; for example Mr. Durant (Kevin) 4-years $40 million the destination team (Phoenix Suns) have to complete the trade request with an average player or players (competitive), which can involve other NBA Teams and the NBA salary value contact can only equal 4-years $40 million combined not over, and the destination team don’t have to give up their All-star players, five (5) starting players, Blue-chips or pending Blue-chips (Draft picks) to complete the NBA Trade Request, and remember once an NBA player passes his rookie year the NBA player is now an average player (competitive). This twisted violations against the NBA Trade Request policy is all about Steve Nash can’t coach. I hope Mr. Durant (Kevin) legal team, agent and business partner take this twisted intentionally violations against the NBA Trade Request policy into New York Superior Court, and I hope Mr. Durant (Kevin) don’t show up this season (2022-2023) and allow Fan’s to support him at every Nike town retail store because where still locked into Mr. Durant (Kevin) greatness!
