They’re legit

theres players in the league safe from trades jaylen brown just isnt one of them

I just want to watch one star duo play together until retirement.

all i want is the celtics to run it back for 15 years straight. let them stack up banners or come close or miss entirely, but try it!

Steph and dray are the closest we’re getting for now 

you can definitely trade brown for more than youre getting from heat + its not only brown you will be getting.

That’s why most likely JB is being rerouted to a 3rd team. His value is at an all time high rn. He ends up in Portland, Atlanta, or with the Clippers imo.

Rightfully so. I’m a fan too. I get it. 

I mean he could always come to the warriors for butler but I’m not sure we’re interested in that anymore

Lmao it’s not even close.

Even this year which Giannis was hurt and was a down year by his standards he put up 30/10/5 on 66% TS.

Brown was at 29/7/5 on 57% TS.

Mind you, Giannis had a ton of minute restrictions as well. Per 36 its 34/12/7 vs 30/7/5 with nearly a 10% gap in efficiency.

Again, not even close. The only thing you can argue is durability but also Giannis has been asked to carry a massive load the last few years. On the Celtics he wouldn’t have to play balls to the wall the entire game.

I disagree, like 1-2 years between them. Brown got a deal for 3 more years. Even if Giannis slows down in 3 years, its still fine. Because 3 years later, a 33 y/o Brown, he is gonna ask for a crazy contract. So they are probably gonna have to let him go in 3 years for free anyway, or if he is still good, sign him until he is 38 for the max which is just as bad if not worse

“starting off with ware, kas or Larson, Jaquez” - These are all non lottery players.

Most of the FOs in the league had a chance to draft these players and chose not to. This is all recent.

In the time since they were drafted they’ve had no measurable impact on the Heat’s ability to do anything in the post season.

They’re nowhere near as valuable, in the eyes of the rest of the league, as Heat fans think they are. The only reason we’re in this is because Giannis put us on his short list, it’s not the asset package.

We still have the MLE and a massive TPE to find a center, and even then, between Tatum, Giannis and even Hugo they can guard 95% of the centers in the league without being uncomfortable in a small ball lineup. We definitely need a guy for the Jokics/Embiids of the world in the playoffs, though, but that can be solved by the deadline.

I saw someone mentioned Myles + Giannis for Brown + White + picks and I genuinely don’t know if the contracts/salary works but it sounds good to me lol

People keep mentioning how Jaylen played last year and got lobotomized just before the playoffs lol. The guy had a mental block and couldn’t stop throwing forearm at people. 25 turnovers when the next guy in the entire series had 17. Would not be much of a problem if he was actually passing looking to make plays but he only made 23 assist. I love Jaylen but for a 2nd option, let alone 1st, he doesn’t make the game easier for the rest of the team. There’s a reason why Demar, Lavine, Randle and PG have a reputation they’re good hoopers who can get you buckets every night but if the only thing the other team has to worry about is you getting 30, then go ahead while the rest of your team drowns.

He’s being used as the centerpiece of a trade for one of the greatest players ever, I think it shows him the exact opposite of what you’re saying.

Hes still at shanghai at the moment right? Lmao

We just watched Luka get traded. Every player in the league is expendable if the front office chooses. AD would’ve sworn up and down he was beloved in LA before it happened.

”…who was borderline untouchable”

Giannis wouldn’t be as injured if he didn’t have to carry a whole franchise on his back to just barely make the playoffs. If he goes somewhere where they can load manage him throughout the regular season, he’ll be in great health in time for the playoffs.

What young talent is available? Teams are trading for Jaylen Brown-level players to pair with their high picks

Tatum is in his prime. You make that trade for win now - not waiting years for young talent to develop.

not saying you’re wrong but it’s pretty funny for a lakers fan to be saying this

Context here doesn’t matter the original comment said there was a Celtics whistle implying they get calls they shouldn’t.

They responded letting them know they are last on FTA debunking the whistle narrative.

In this case context does not matter and would not change anything.

Celtics shooting more 3s does not preclude them from having a favorable whistle.

The premise was a ‘Celtics whistle’ which does not exist. If Brown or Tatum got the ‘Shai/Lakers’ whistle well….now you got a stew going.

Had to be the single dumbest premise I’ve ever heard.

This ain’t the 2010s anymore. You need depth and the C’s would be absolutely devoid of any if White and Brown are sent off.

True giannis needs a stretch5 next to him

Its either trade him or he walks for nothing. Thats reality. Only one coping here is you.
