I’m sorry but we are idiots if we trade Trey and other assets for Jaylen Brown.

No question Brown is far better than Trey but even adding him to play with Zion, Fears, Queen and Bey doesn’t make this team competitive with OKC or San Antonio. Brown is 4 years older than Trey making $70 million a year!!!!!! Also he’s hands down the smartest player in the league and has other interests outside of basketball. Guys that are smart and already paid at his age could become an issue if we trade for him and still suck arse. Again, I LOVE Jaylen Brown the player but I HATE that contract and the player being 29 years old. Brown and Zion would take up $100+ mil of the salary cap by themselves. The numbers just don’t work in my view. Better to just keep Trey and try to improve along the fringes or use trade future picks to add to the team and maybe ship out Poole’s contract. This team isn’t competing anytime soon in the west so I highly doubt Jaylen Brown would be a happy camper coming from Boston to the a team chasing the play-in every year.

So let's just shut the whole thing down and give up.

I swear, so many people want to tank and suck so that we can build some mythical roster. But none are here through the season as we get beat down game after game.

He just led a team to a top 2 seed in the East with a bunch of middling players. You can build around him. He wants his own team and legacy. I have no idea if he wants to come here. But if he did, he's worth taking a chance.

I would trade any player on this roster for Jaylen Brown. No exceptions. Just don’t mortgage draft capital for him

The problem with trading assets for Brown is that I think it makes us a bottom tier playoff team for a few years and then it further fricks any future we are trying to build.

The logic of Fears/Queen being untradeable (per Dumars rumors) because we want to build around them, while simultaneously trading away multiple future first round picks is oxymoronic.


Edit: With this said, our franchise is and has been so fricking sad that trading for a top 10-15 proven NBA player/winner would at least be exciting.

I have grown so detached to the players of this franchise, I honestly don't give a shite. Brown at least has an actual NBA game, unlike anyone else on the roster. frick it, trade whoever, I honestly don't care.

He finished 6th in MVP voting putting up 29/7/5 . He's clearly a better player than Trey at this point in time

This, especially with the new lottery rules where you can be good but lose in the play in and still have good odds at a top 4 pick.

The only way I mortgage draft capital is every pick has to be top 3 protected

People want 3-5 1sts and swaps for Murphy. Yet don't want to give up draft picks to get Brown. It doesn't make sense.

Id be ok with trey and multiple 1sts for Brown, it really depends on the other trade capital you send out that determines how many 1sts

Like if I trade bey as well Id only send out 2-3 firsts

I tend to agree with you. Jaylen Brown is not the way forward.

but......

We held on to BI for two years longer than we should have and got a paltry return on him when we did trade him (Kelly Olynyk and Bruce Brown). And.....

We waited to trade Lonzo until he was a RFA and got virtually nothing for him (Tomas Satoransky and Garrett Temple) when the Bulls previously had offered Laurie Markkanen. And....

Now we are faced with the reality that Zion is worth pennies on the dollar because we've dealt with him for too long.

TRADE TREY NOW!!! His value will never be higher.

DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!!

There is no scenario whereby I would include any more than 2 firsts if Trey included.

Same people want assets and not give up assets.

How? The 2 thoughts are 100% consistent.

It would be stupid to trade our pick next year. With the odds being what they are now, we at least have two shots of getting a top 4 pick with ours and the Bucks since we are both likely to be in the lottery again.

This would be the Paul George trade all over again.

Sending out assets with the younger player for an overpaid guy nearing the end of his prime.

If this team doesn't get competitive enough to just make the playoffs soon, they'll be moving somewhere else

In you think any trade for Brown will not require giving up draft capital, you need to wake up fast.
