Good bet

Miami will definitely be worse than Boston lol

Ware and Kas are young talents. The bucks are gonna rebuild

I mean sometimes you don’t know how long rebuilds are gonna take. No point in getting Brown if the rest of the team’s developed when he’s ³⁴⁄₃₅?

Would you rather have Jaylen brown or a whole haul of young talent

I think the Bucks wanted multiple players that could develop into All-Star talent instead of just Jaylen Brown. Also, those Miami picks are in the 2030s, and Giannis should be past his prime by then.

I mean, they ain’t winning with brown, he’d be just a tank commander.

Picks is the right choice.

I’ll allow it

I don’t really understand it from Miami’s POV, like is Norm Powell, Bam, and Giannis even an ECF team?

But I guess they were mid before and now they are slightly above mid with Giannis

same, the heat still ain’t shit

The heat roster is ass lmao. Bam giannis and Norman powell

Even though I hate Miami, I’m glad they got him over Boston. That team if healthy would be damn near unstoppable, especially if they only had to send JB to get him.

Miami also traded away all of their roster and picks to get him too, so it isn’t like they’re the automatic favorites either lol.

Yup. This feels like the middle tier teams just shuffling around their cards. Yay, we get Giannis on another weakened roster. Woooo.

Basically a straight JB to Giannis upgrade could’ve been so entertaining. The 3 point Mazzula ball with GIANNIS going to the rim? If only.

Donovan Mitchell gonna leave Cleveland and it’ll be Bam, Giannis, Donovan in 2027-2028

Should’ve offered more picks

Do not want the Celtics contending but I do want Giannis playing playoff basketball instead of wasting the last years of his prime

The Heat literally gutted their roster. If the Celtics made the trade, they only swap Brown for Giannis, and maybe give up Pritchard or White.

Good if true (I’m sure a lot of people will disagree 🤷🏽‍♀️)

Hugo is the whitest possible diversity hire the Celtics could have, it’s too good of a fit for Boston. Untouchable.

Could they have flipped Jaylen for those amount of picks though? Clearly they valued the picks over the player and whatever his value would be in a potential pick related trade.

Is Brown really worth more than Herro, Ware, Jaquez, a FRP, a swap, and a second rounder? Also the Heat picks would be worth a lot more than the Celtic’s ones

Boston 1sts are worthless.

Are we sure? $60M/year isn’t cheap

Brown is making \(57m next season. What team would be willing to or even has \)57m in contracts to trade and a boatload of picks for him? San Antonio with Fox is the only one I can think of and I doubt they would do it

Miami picks are better than Celtics picks

Ware is a good prospect

Jaques is young

AND Herro?

What am I missing? Thats a slam dunk

Reddit GMs are so fucking funny. You really think Horst wasn’t doing his due diligence into what they could have gotten for Brown?

Brown is good, but definitely a little overrated in this moment. Look beyond the counting stats and the TS has always been mediocre, covered up by teammates like Horford, White, Pritchard, Porzingis, Tatum, and Jrue who shoot pretty well. His efficiency is close to Paolo level, and people love to shit on Paolo for being an inefficient volume scorer.

The Celtics know it, the Bucks know it, and the league knows it.

#13 likely moved the needle for them, lots of diamonds in the rough in this draft

I mean they would have been like 25th or worse; don’t really need to protect at that point

Why would the Bucks want JB though this trade makes no sense for them

Even if if wasn’t Heat trade offer better

Yeah he’s probably gone. Maybe Brad likes someone in the 4-10 range.

Who do you think they would trade him for? I feel like Brad Steven’s is just going to shock the world on this one if it happens because there doesn’t seem to be anyone else equivalent that’s available publicly

Yep. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him traded tomorrow.

This aint first time they tried to trade him, they could still keep him

jaylen you are a Sacramento King!

It’s hard to believe when this has been going for years, it’s always doomsday for the Celtics then it never happens.

Why?

Late firsts have no value in the nba

honestly Heat’s package is better overall for a team trying to rebuild

the only way Celtics could have gotten Giannis was on a threeway trade

No one wants JB lol

have you seen the Heats package…Bucks want to rebuild. Also, they probably couldnt find a third team for JB and didnt want to risk him leaving Mil after a year.

This. Just from the Heat’s perspective, you gave up too much. You’ve got an awkward front court fit, and you’ve weakened every other position in the process.
At least Boston would have just been a clear upgrade rather than this janky sideways move for Miami.

Clearly they couldn’t have flipped JB, they want to rebuild right now and definitely gauged a trade market for Brown. Definitely underwhelmed them

Which is insane…if true.

If those lingering injuries don’t derail it

DWhite and PP are excellent shooters as well, alongside with Mazulla ball Giannis’ gravity would make this a really exciting team to watch

They will probably bide their time one more year while the apron penalties reset as much as nobody is gonna wanna hear that. I don’t see why you would go all in now especially when the best guy to do that with is off the board.

They don’t own their own picks so this comment is irrelevant
