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?

Tatum lowkey isn’t JBs friend it’s always been JB being asked about Tatum but Tatum has never given a real care for Jb.

In JB one year to shine JT comes in at the end and messes up the offense trying to integrate him late in the season, and JB takes the hit.

Wouldn’t be surprised if JT demanded it and the Celtics are just taking the fall

I think JT and JB are like the Mythbusters in terms of friendship. They respect the hell out of each other professionally and they can make great things when they work together, but outside of work they are just so different that they don’t have any interest in spending time together

Could be. I don’t see JT having the stones for that, but I obviously don’t know what he’s like behind the scenes.

That’s the beautiful thing, why don’t you think he has the stones? He and LeBron are friends, and LeBron will make you feel every teammate he’s ever had is great and needed but everyone knows he’s the one who gets his teammates traded, might just be pulling LeBron politics

TLJ is better than 1, 2 and 9 at a minimum. But maybe we don’t need to hash that out here and now.

JoshuaCastleBooks

1 | 26 minutes ago

or maybe we do..

1 is objectively terrible and only having the best song John Williams ever wrote helps it, but it at least tries to do a few things.

2 isn’t that bad.

8 is a military sci-fi movie that feels like it was written by people who have never been exposed to the military or science fiction. It is an affront to everything.

9 catches heat because of the “somehow the emperor returned” where in the extended books he’s returned like 17 times already and the whole 7-8-9 were just shitty reskins of the first trilogy so they had to bring the emperor back.

The Last Jedi is the worst star wars film or show since the christmas special

I hate the reputation bolstering TLJ has been getting lately. It’s trendy to like it all of a sudden.

I mean maybe it isn’t as big a piece of shit as the other two in the new trilogy but it certainly isn’t GOOD.

JB balled out last season without Tatum and proved he can lead a team as their #1.

JB’s been mentioned in trade rumors all off season, and he felt disrespected

JB went to management and expressed this, and told them he wants to go

Celtics apologized as it’s part of business, and sent him to Philly/contender knowing they wouldn’t get what he’s worth but felt they owed Jalen

i think they just believe his playing style takes away from other players and they want to be a more balanced team that can create advantages in a variety of ways. that would be why boston wanted to move, why noone else made a better offer is a mystery to me, you’d think someone out there would risk it all for a 29 yo mvp finalist

Things Jaylen Brown could have done to justify this trade
