In Bill Simmons annual trade value column, he ranked Jaylen Brown as the #14 most valuable trade asset in the NBA. Meanwhile, he ranked Paul George as the #2 worst contract in the NBA.
I wonder if it causes any self-reflection on Bill’s part, considering how far off his projection of Jaylen Brown’s value was.
Clearly, Jaylen Brown was not valued as a top 14 contract in the NBA, not by the Celtics, and not by anyone else in the league, given the results of the open bidding process.
Based on the actual bidding process, Jaylen Brown’s asset value might have been closer to the #200-300 range in the NBA.
