Jaylen “I would love to get traded”

Brad “ I would love to trade you”

Thats a very positive conversation and Jaylen didn’t express any frustration. Brad told no lies

He’d probably just not say anything if it was false. Plus Brown has been in the best position in the league almost his entire career with a super elite team. Then again he’s delusional so who knows.

Nah his aura dropped so Payton Pritchard asked for his posse back.

But JB spent too much on those sunglasses so he wears all 4 pairs on the stream.

Brad was going to say this regardless, but the real news is he was clearly unhappy with our performance in the playoffs and against top teams.

Moves are coming.

Bingo

Brad has seen what he can do with the JB/JT duo and he’s smart enough to sell high. The Celtics need more pieces and more diversity in skills to win another title, and Giannis for JB and pieces/with a third team seems like a very obvious move to play right now.

Joe developed a nice young core so they have some value to package in a trade, and whatever is left is a good group to build around JT, White, and Giannis.

The Celtics didn’t put a team ready to win a title thus year tho. This was a gap year in how they structured things

Yea they basically overachieved after shedding a ton of salary. But I think if Giannis wants out, and has hinted at Boston with his comments about Mazzulla, and JB is putting this out there, then Brad needs to at least make an inquiry about a potential trade.

Giannis next to Tatum sounds like a worse duo than Brown next to Tatum when you actually look at the skill sets of the players

Based off of what? Tatum has played better with JB off the floor every year of his career?

Do you think pairing him with a ball dominant guy who sucks at shooting 3s/free throws is a better pairing?

Not to mention he is starting to become injury prone

I’m curious what those moves could be. They have a little bit of cap space since Vuc is expiring but everyone else is signed for next year. If JB isn’t getting moved like this quote could imply, then DWhite and Hauser are the likely salaries you could move. Pritchard’s deal is just to good to trade him (unless someone offered a haul), and all their other salaries are too small to get value from. Hauser is a very very good volume shooting wing, and I don’t think you can find another guy who shoots like him and isn’t a defensive seive for a similar price. If White’s shooting doesn’t bounce back, I guess you could replace him for the most part, but he’s one of the glue-iest glue guys in the league. I think I like him too much to imagine trading him.

If JB is on the table, I think they have a ton of optionality, and if JB, White, and/or Hauser are made available, Brad has a lot of room to make moves.

Agreed. A lot of us fans genuinely had so much fun this season because we exceeded expectations, won games out of pure hustle, developed our younger guys, Tatum’s return game. It was a special season despite how badly the playoffs went

Will just have to wait for the next live stream the

Jokes aside It is surprising to see brown getting so much flak for the first round when mazulla didn’t help at all and he isn’t getting much.

The lineup for game 7 didn’t work with multiple players not scoring a point and the game plan to shoot threes relentlessly isn’t on the players

considertheoctopus | Celtics

There are tons of Celtics fans calling for Joe’s head. It’s just Jaylen has taken all the attention because he blamed the refs, and said it was his favorite season ever after losing in Rd 1 and playing without Tatum all year, and then used T-Mac to express frustration with the org.

They didn’t score a point because 2 of them played 9 and 4 minutes. They took 3 shots while Brown and White combined for 53.

Scheierman was out there getting cardio, but that’s not a coaching issue that guys that barely play didn’t score lol.

They maybe shot a few too many 3’s, but it was Brown who missed Queta on a wide open dive and chose to kick it out to Pritchard for a 3. It was Brown who missed his last 4 shots in the final 5 minutes of a 1 point game including 2 3’s

Was Mazzulla supposed to yell from the sidelines to completely abandon the 3’s when Brown was open off a screen? Or Pritchard to not shoot when he was open in the corner and instead dribble it into traffic at the rim?

The Celtics didn’t have anything else to go to because they didn’t have the personnel. All year they had Jaylen Brown making tough midrange shots and Payton Pritchard making tough fadeaway mid range shots over taller defenders. If the choice is between that or an open 3, I’m sorry, but the open 3 is the better shot in crunch time.

The reason Brown is getting criticized more is because Mazzulla isn’t the one that kept getting called for offensive fouls (twice as many as any other player in the first round) from push offs and shot 47.5% from 2. That would be like James Harden’s regular season efficiency with half the assists. That is pretty unacceptable for a guy who was supposed to be our best player this year who had a top 5 season and lead a team to a finals appearance.

Also, just want to add that they were up 3-1 with a 1 point lead going into the 4th quarter of game 5. Was Mazzulla supposed to call a timeout and say “so I know we’ve been winning games and we’re up in this one, but abandon the 3’s and go challenge Embiid at the rim” ???

Mazzulla could have had a better game 6 rather than experiment in game 7, but executing down the stretch is on the players, in my opinion.

SoulReaper12 | Celtics

Mazzulla is getting flak. The difference is one took accountability while the other one didn’t. Brown took digs and shots at other players only to play like shit in the playoffs. Of course one going to get more flak then the other.

Brad’s not a dumbass, he’s not going to confirm the report and tank Jaylen’s trade value. It’s increasingly obvious for everyone involved it’s time to trade Jaylen. I’d give it better than even odds it happens before the start of next season.

[Jay King] Brad Stevens said he spoke with Jaylen Brown on Monday and he was “nothing but positive.” Stevens said Brown has expressed no frustrations with him about the organization. “None of that has been expressed to me.”
