WhatMeatCatSpokeOf | Spurs

I don’t think he’ll be happy about the trade, but the Lakers have nothing to do with it. The picks the Celtics got have some value, and the Lakers just gave away their first round draft picks in 4 years, completely draining their ability to use them as as assets in other moves. The Lakers needed defense and have instead gotten one great defender in Kessler and 3 offense-first bench depth pieces.

The Celtics are worse than they were , for sure, but the Lakers don’t look any better today because of that Celtics trade.

Not sure I’d put it on the same level, he was pretty firmly the #2 on the Celtics and he’s almost 30. Luka has been a superstar since day one and he was 26 when he got traded and even Jaylen Brown got more picks lmao. This is really not THAT bad for the Celtics. Plus, we had been hearing that Brown wanted out for awhile now.

DyslexicAutronomer | Supersonics

1 | 11 minutes ago

You gotta stop eating media slop as “truth”.

Brown has never said he wanted out, did he feel underappreciated? Definitely, he was getting shopped around since his 2nd year but he did he ever say he didn’t want a Celtics? Clearly not.

The media loves to spin drama, that’s their job. You would be constantly fooled and poorer if you actually believe everything the media says.

At least Luka got traded for AD. PG is a walking corpse for half a year and he was banned for 20 games after getting caught on PEDs. He’s a negative contract. Those picks were to get off PG’s contract, Brown essentially got salary dumped, dumping an prime aged MVP candidate that is what makes it a Doncic level trade and why people reacted so violately.

Igualmenteee | Mavericks

1 | 6 minutes ago

Me saying he wanted out was not the right choice of words, he clearly was being shopped and we all can use context clues to reach the conclusion that he was not happy he was still the #2. We had reports of the kind of packages the Celtics wanted for Brown as well. What are we even talking about lmao?

There was ZERO rumors or anything that Luka was being traded and he got traded for NOTHING. AD is certainly a better player than PG, but neither have been healthy recently and Luka was 26 and a legit superstar #1 lmao. Saying that “at least he got traded for AD” is insane, both trades suck ass, but Brown is just not near Luka’s level. People will remember the Luka trade forever, after about two years no one will care about the Brown trade imo.

Character_Bug_1862

I don’t know, Stevens might have felt their best way to compete anytime soon was to rebuild with picks a year sooner with PGs contract than Brown’s. Who knows if he’s right but I can see that angle.

The Philadelphia 76ers have reached out and are aggressively pursuing LeBron James in free agency after eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. This chase is being heavily spearheaded by Sixers President of Basketball Operations Mike Gansey, with whom LeBron shares deep Ohio roots and a long-standing friendship dating back to high school.

The Connection

Ohio Roots: LeBron and Mike Gansey both grew up in the Akron area, with Gansey famously finishing just behind James for the 2001 Ohio Mr. Basketball award.Front

Office History: The two worked together when Gansey was moving up the executive ranks with the Cleveland Cavaliers, building a trusted professional rapport.

Deep Ties: Steven Gansey (Mike’s brother) and LeBron are former friends , and the families share a tight-knit connection within the Ohio basketball community.

Or are we already forgetting the previous Luka trade?

mathgeek777 | West

The Luka trade was a singular moment of stupidity on a random day well before the trade deadline. I’m talking about 10 straight days of absolutely wild moves, major stars getting shuffled around, teams deciding to rip the bandaid off completely for better or worse (Charlotte, Memphis, etc). These are the kinds of moves that national media is talking up months or years in advance and they all happened at once. I can’t remember an offseason since I started watching that even comes close, maybe 2016 to some degree, but that was mostly KD and some crippling overpays. Close to half the league has been involved in these deals in one way or another. I would be shocked if this happened again each of the next two years, even if the league is still not at equilibrium with the new rules.

Boring_Recipe8732

1 | 3 hours ago

The media and fans expected this last off-season.

My opinion is that we saw it begin, but really speculation moved faster than the cogs of multi-billion dollar organisations, particularly given a handful of ownership changes in recent years.

What this represents is the floodgates or rebalancing everyone predicted, with the CBA and cap changes, finally starting to be realised. Just like when there is a major earthquake you often have large foreshocks, that’s what the Luka deal represented.

Less a singular moment of madness attributable to one GM, though he played a major part, but instead an indication that a new type of owner, one much more interested in the pure financials and tending to have made their bones on the uglier sides of capitalism, was going to respond to the second apron etc.

Of course we can’t overlook relationships, the rise of advanced analytics and so on. But Luka wasn’t a one off. And this trade period isn’t a new “one off”.

There’s a realignment happening. We are going to see more crazy and “inexplicable” trades in the next few years, as a cadre of even more vampiric owners sort out their priorities, and as GMs try to adjust cap space accordingly, agents figure out the new reality and players re-evaluate contract size or terms vs winning etc.

mathgeek777 | West

1 | an hour ago

Media and fans predict huge shuffles every single trade deadline and offseason, and it generally doesn’t happen. Teams are usually content to just stand pat and run it back or make moves around the edges. A few teams every year decide to go in a majorly different direction. This was half the league all at once, after a trade deadline that was similarly active. My point is that I think the major realignment just happened and this will be a 5-10 year peak by quite a bit. Not that we won’t see any moves, or even that the new normal won’t be slightly weirder than what it was before, but that this type of flurry is just not in the appetite of most front offices around the league to do every single year. It’s about the sheer amount of actual newsworthy moves all at once. I just think it’ll be 2-3 years before most of these teams that just reshaped themselves even consider pivoting dramatically or unexpectedly again. It’s not about how weird the Brown or Luka trades individually were (maybe my initial wording was unclear on that), it’s the “wow, shit actually happened across the league” feeling. Giannis was a pretty normal and expected superstar move, it would still have been carrying headlines for weeks in a normal cycle, it was already mostly forgotten 2-3 huge moves ago

CR almost certainly will be there, just a Boston guy and a Philly guy talking it out.

I really hope so but will Bill have the courage to do so? Perhaps that’s why he didn’t do an emergency pod tonight. Gotta wait at least 13 hours before talking it out with CR.
But usually he has people on after they’re on the losing side of things

Shepher27 | Timberwolves

He had CR on after game 7 when Philly beat Boston

I’m sure once he heard Tatum wasn’t playing, and sixers won the previous two games anyways, he already knew it was a wrap and thus easier to swallow by then

His initial reaction was mine as well. This reeks of new ownership coming in and clearing a big salary from the books, no matter the damage it might do to the team.

He wears basically any baseball (team) hat. I think the sticker is from a National Park and he is a Philly sports fan.

*My coworker has the same sticker (similar sticker?) on a travel mug. I think it is from a park.

Is it still worth watching that? I loved GoT and am absolutely loving the new show but house of the dragon completely lost me in the second season

jmbrand13 | Pacers

2 | 11 hours ago

I would say yes. I feel similarly to you about season 2, the pacing was god awful. But season 3, while only two episodes, they have been absolute bangers.

Responsible-Pair1916

Apparently WB forced them to put the last two episodes of S2 in S3. That’s why it feels so odd like all of this stuff is happening, they were 100% finale episodes for the last season. Why they did that I have no idea. This is where the real test begins see if they can execute the last 6 episodes with some compelling writing.

jmbrand13 | Pacers

1 | 10 hours ago

Yeah I heard that as well and it makes a lot of sense.

Rubberbabeh | Bulls

Season 3’s first couple of episodes were basically the season 2 finale that HBO cut.

They were in cost cutting mode for a whiiiiile before they went up for sale.

Call me Mystic Tot. I predict these things.

Ringer’s Chris Ryan finds out about the Jaylen Brown trade: “Multiple people have tried to call me— Did Joel Embiid get traded? Did LeBron go to Philly? Is it about basketball? Is it about somebody I care about? Somebody is a Sixer now?… Anthony Davis?” (via @ringer)
