Regardless of who gets traded they need to make a change💯💀 the Celtics made it clear they will die with the 3 and teams are eventually gonna lock them all down you need a presence in the paint to avoid that💯

Bucks won’t trade Giannis for Brown. They will do it for Tatum! Not sure Tatum will be 100% back ever, he is 85%, but defensive intensity is not there. There’s still trauma hesitation.. it could still work out and he might be 100% next year and bucks would hope with that trade. Brown + Giannis is better than Brown + risky Tatum for Celtics.

Trade Brown and their trade exception straight up for Jalen Johnson. Browns better but the kid is good and is half the $$$. It’s the contracts that now rule the league w the tax penalties. These young teams have a massive advantage over these veteran teams. This is the new NBA. Can you imagine if these rules went into place when Tatum and Brown where on cheap contracts. They would of Won multiple rings under these present rules. Truth is as good as Brown is Atlanta never does that deal. Its all about getting talent on 40 million or less contracts. NY locked up Brunson for 20 million a yr below market value. This is the Knicks advantage. It really S that teams are forced to blow up there team. That the new reality and that’s why Brown has to go.

So what team does Cam’ron root for? I bet he’d have a different take if his team’s GM locked up a max slot for an injured IT whose career was essentially over. Stop with this childish notion of “loyalty” in a billion-dollar entertainment business.

I think this is an incredibly bad/unfair take on Jaylen Brown. The man carried that Boston team to the 2nd best record when they were projected to not even make the playoffs this year. His entire team had momentum and you can say , JT coming back kind of ruined it all. I think Celtics are in the 2nd round if JT never came back…. the season’s rhythm was ruined when he came back. I can definately understand why it was his favorite season – they were the 2ND place team without JT !! ESPN , esp Stephen A, such a horrible take…. so unfair towards the man. He honestly needs his own team – he’s a SUPERSTAR and maybe even better than JT. Also FYI, im not some Milwaukee/Boston fan, I”m a Raptors fan and this is my take on it.

When Boston won Brown was driving the bus into FMVP…. Once playoff started Tatum became the Driver… Drove Boston into blowing 3 1 lead lol

Trade Tatum. He’s injury prone. Has no dawg in him. Too passive

If Brown never leaves, he will have the legacy Kobe always feared he wouldve had if he kept Shaq. Meaning, if he wants the respect from the world that hes actually that guy, he needs to break this up and win on his own or he will always be considered as a great number 2…which he is! No one knows if hes a number 1 until he wins as one

Don’t you think it’s in JB’s favor not show all his cards about how he feels about the celtics and cast some doubt on where he wants to be? I think this is just good business strategy for JB and his agent. It can give him leverage as long as he doesn’t say anything too crazy that will force the Celtics to get rid of him. JB starting his livestreaming was genius of him it got all you and everyone else talking and thinking

J been saying its time to part ways with one. Too much money on the books. Giannis could go to boston automatically make them title contenders
