What does that have to do with the celtics team getting salary dumped though

donavid | Knicks

362 | a day ago

Celtics had to blow up their championship team because of the second apron salary cap, on top of Tatum being out all season with injury last year. Everyone expected the Celtics to do horrible last season. Despite all of that, the Celtics still finished as 2nd seed.

After losing in the playoffs, during a livestream Brown said this past season was his favorite one yet. He later clarified it’s because they outperformed expectations and guys who wouldn’t normally get much play had time to shine to get the team to 2nd. Reddit and the ESPN talking heads said “LOL WAIT YOUR FAVORITE SEASON IS THIS ONE, NOT THE ONE WHERE YOU WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP??? WOW YOU’RE JUST HAPPY TATUM WASN’T AROUND, EVEN THO YOU GUYS LOST IN THE 1st ROUND???”

There’s the connection between salary dump and SAS being the face of ESPN

UnderstandingPursuit

8 | 14 hours ago

Exactly.

Most others say, “Your favorite season should be the year you won.”

For most things, though, how much we like them is less about the outcome and more about the outcome relative to expectation.

For example, Steph Curry might say that the 2022 championship means more to him than the 2017 title. The haters would say that it’s because KD was Finals MVP in 2017, while Steph was in 2022. But the reality is that when the 2017 season started, if the question was Warriors vs The Field, the betting odds favored the Warriors. But in 2022, the Warriors were projected to win fewer than 50 games, they won 53, and then went 16-6 in the playoffs to win.

Honestly, it’s amazing that a Knicks fan (rivals) even know the true story, but this sub somehow still managed to read into it the wrong way and has been parroting that JB was being toxic and actually hates Tatum.

Thanks for getting it right, it’s been tiring having to read people make up stuff when it’s already been made clear what he really meant. Props to you.

We’re a mess of a team for half a dozen reasons, but JB hating Tatum or wanting to break up the team/move on is not one of those reasons.

donavid | Knicks

10 | 20 hours ago

Yeah I hate that so much of NBA discourse is half truths and narratives that people just repeat without questioning lol.

It’s the same reason I take any relevant opportunity to point out that Brunson didn’t take a pay cut to help the Knicks’ cap space, he took the max contract he was allowed to that year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (though I’m obviously glad it’s worked out the way it has & I’m a fan of JB’s)

Skip can also eat a bowl of broken glass for what he said about Dak in 2020. Called him weak and a bad leader for being open about his mental health struggles when his brother committed suicide. Dak also lost his mom to cancer during college. And then had a potentially career ending injury during the 2020 regular season.

The reaction to the “favorite season” thing in a lot of comments was so weird to me, with so many people saying “oH, nOt ThE cHaMpIoN sEaSon?!” as if it’s not something he’s also proud of. People have a million different personal preferences and reasons for liking things. I’ve worked jobs that were superficially “shitty” but had some of my favorite times in them, and I’ve had “great” jobs with days that I look back on and grimace. And some of the things I’m proudest of aren’t the things that society labels as the most objectively “valuable.” I don’t know anybody who’d be any different.

No he is again being the god of not understanding. Engaging as he is, is giving them exactly what they want. Weird this entire thread seems to be ignorant of that idea, but its probably more just indicative of the flawed product reddit is where the first to the thread rise to the top, even if its the dumbass takes.

I mean he’s not wrong about any of it. Had Tatum not torn his Achilles they def don’t let so many players go and also ESPN/Stephen A sucks

He’s not wrong. Stephen A got a 1 hour soliloquy with his name on it later though

Stephen A is going to MILK this dry. Two straight days of “don’t make an enemy out of me” “I know things about you” all bullshit. The sooner people just start ignoring Stephen A the better. He ruins everything.

I agree ESPN is unethical and a propaganda pushing machine. Imo Knicks glazing is a little too much. I dont remember this much glazing for any other team that has recently won.

Sometimes he’s wrong but this is not one of those times. He’s telling it like it is, and how it’s always been. I’m riding with him here.

As long as these talking heads get a vote for end of season awards(MVP, DPOY, All NBA ect) AND these awards are used to negotiate contracts and grant eligibility(Max/SuperMax) then it will be unethical.

You always hear people talk about how smart jaylen Brown is, but when you see him, talk and hear his quotes, you realize he’s not that smart.

SAS, is ASS for a journalist.

I remember him trying to cover MMA and Boxing and totally being a brain dead mouthpiece. Combine that with his NFL and NBA knowledge, and I get dumber just hearing him talk.

He should stay in Boston. Take the hit to your ego, and go back to being a great teammate and an All-Star/All-NBA player. The grass ain’t greener with any of the teams that can trade for him.

LET ME BE CLEAR. None of what JB says bothers me - proceeds to do 3, 2 hour segments over the next few weeks.

“Agreeance” always grinds my gears as the worst fake smart-guy word, beating out “impactful”. “Agreement” is right there! And has the benefit of being a word!

Getting written off and still ending up in the same spot says more about the team’s grit than any hot take ever could.

The only nba “analyst” worse than SAS is Perk, but SAS has done actual damage to espn and reporting in general. A foul person and unwatchable to boot.

Good for Jaylen, if SAS took 3 more minutes out of his day to listen to what JB said after the “best season” comment, you’ll realize he’s talking about being written off after losing Tatum and still ending up the 2nd seed.

Jaylen Brown: “ESPN is unethical, and Stephen A. Smith is the head face of that. The organization, the players, they were all in agreeaance. They all knew what I meant by that. Our team was basically salary dumped. We lost a lot of players. For us to emerge and still be in the same position…”
