[Mannix] “A good team told me they made an initial offer to Boston for Jaylen Brown, which they knew wasn’t very good, but the offer would have gotten better”.
This happened fast, this happened really fast. I talked to one team, […] that absolutely made an offer for Jaylen Brown to Boston, a good team. I talked to them after the deal was consumated with Philadelphia and they were stunned. Mostly because they knew their offer wasn’t very good, but they told me that the offer would have gotten better. […] They were probing to see how low can they go.
