As funny as it is/would be, I refuse to believe “he’s really annoying” is the justification for making this abomination of a trade. There has to be something we don’t know yet. Possibilities:
- Jaylen was stealing state secrets and the Celtics found out, dealing him before he is detained and sent to Gitmo.
- Jaylen and Tucker Carlson were about to go public with a new political party, Boston doesn’t want the fallout.
- A recent physical revealed Jaylen’s bones have disappeared, no one knows why or how he continues to function the same. Boston trades him out of caution.
- Jaylen kept insisting to Joe Mazz that Black Mass is actually way better than The Town and Mazz had a psychological break resulting in the deaths of several staffers, Boston wants to get ahead of the fallout
- At some point in the last few weeks, a group of small aliens somehow stole Jaylen’s talent in an effort to beat a cartoon rabbit and his friends in an interdimensional pickup game
Any other ideas?
