Cooked so hard no one else can taste it

Crack if they think they can get JB

Seems like they’re willing to trade Kawhi and get a younger version in JB lol

When you can’t tank but no longer want to aspire

Garland - JB backcourt apparently

Turning Harden and Kawhi into Garland and Brown would be a pretty impressive revamp. Not contention or anything, but they’d have gotten way younger without any real fall-off.

I think Jakob looks great in green

This works salary wise?

LAC: Jaylen Brown

TOR: Kawhi

BOS: Barrett + Poeltl + massive pick haul from Clippers and Raptors?

LA doesn’t have anything Boston wants, and Toronto isn’t gonna foot the bill for Brown for 35 year old injury prone Kawhi. The Clippers best chance at getting brown was sending expiring contracts and the 5th pick as part of the Giannis trade.

Expanding the Kawhi Leonard to Toronto trade to three teams?

Someone will take a pay cut then all of a sudden have a side job planting trees but never have to show up.

Couldn’t they just outright eat most of his contract into their space?

Why wouldnt we want Garland? We need more players who can run an offense and someone who can collapse a defense without taking away from JT. They don’t necessarily need to be the same player, but Garland absolutely does both. Sure we tried the small guard thing already and it didnt really work, but i dont think any of the guys we had were the kind of passer Garland is. Kemba and Kyrie were basically both 2 guards for us but Garland is an actual Floor General, which we haven’t had.

Some serious Offspring fans out here with all the upvotes. Nice one!

I would never of excepted an offspring referencce in r/nba

Yeah, I’m not sure why the Celtics would even talk to the Clippers if Wagler isn’t included. Still not an ideal situation, but he’s pretty much a must from Boston’s side I’d think

Yeah but would Celtics want Murray? He’s nice but Brown is a step above.

Why, exactly?  Brown has some solid man defense which would help Jokic since his PoA defenders always get blown past and force him into situations he can’t stop.

But brown has none of the craftiness Murray does (i mean dribbling ability and passing ability), and Brown is not the connective piece Gordon is (I mean team defense and chemistry with Jokic).  So if Nuggets have to give up one of those two and other pieces to meet Brown’s salary, I fail to see how they’re better off.

We are the personification of the Nothing Ever Happens meme

The amount of times I’ve heard we “almost” traded for some big time player is staggering

One report said Clingan and camara aren’t available. You aren’t really throwing out a real offer if camara isn’t in it

The issue is that the point of getting Brown would be to contend for a title the next 3 years or so but teams want players back from Portland (not just picks) that undercut that goal.

What’s the point of trading for Jaylen Brown only to be a 4 seed or below and go out in the 2nd round?

Not remotely the same. Giannis and the Bucks were both flip flopping on wanting out for seasons. Both the Celtics and Brown clearly want to part ways here

Three seasons of back and forth from both sides, from each offseason right up to the trade deadline, is way worse. The only trade interest for Brown was fan/media generated up until this season.

It’s because the bucks FO or a third team leaked their giannis offer. Their fuckup was making JB stealth available and not getting that deal done

Probably didn’t expect Miami to be so desperate.

finally brad Stevens fucked up. presti is up to bat next, hopefully

Except everything is behind the scenes and we have no idea beyond twitch streams and rumors from mediots.

We’ll eventually find out how they handled it but right now we’re pretty blind to everything.

Murray + Cam Johnson works and saves them enough money to bring back Watson. So basically 2 for 2.

They can trade wagler

I’ve reached brown levels of bad

Closest that comes to mind is Garland and Harden but I think there was a second round pick thrown in technically

Didn’t that report say “up to” four depending on the players included?

Shams said up to 4 first in some cases. Would all depend on quality of firsts and players. Big difference between getting Knicks picks from the Nets or Milwaukee picks from Portland.

Just because they want something doesn’t mean they’ll get them, Champ.

Common sense ain’t too common no more.

Hahaha wtf is that

He’s better than PG was and they sent 8 firsts for him
