the crazy thing is if the nets could get jaylen for KD they should do it in a heartbeat. they aren’t winning the title with him, the dream is over, if you can get a player of jaylen’s caliber plus whatever else would be in the deal for him that would be a pretty amazing recovery
― J0rdan S., Monday, 25 July 2022 15:13 (one year ago) link
it’s more interesting to think about from boston’s side really
― J0rdan S., Monday, 25 July 2022 15:14 (one year ago) link
its funny how the nets are the most obvious candidate for rebuilding except they cant cause they traded all their picks
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 July 2022 15:16 (one year ago) link
owners need to extend their rule so that you cant trade pick swaps on off years
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 July 2022 15:23 (one year ago) link
jaylen and simmons would actually be something to build off of. i would feel bad for jaylen but the nets could actually reload without having to stink for 3-5 years again
― J0rdan S., Monday, 25 July 2022 15:24 (one year ago) link
i’d be curious how many pick swaps have actually ended up coming to fruition
well the pick swaps existence does dissuade it from happening
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 July 2022 15:27 (one year ago) link
celtics got tatum with a nets swap

Same with the Warriors reunion rumors -- the proverbial "bird in the hand" dilemma.
― Judd Apatosaurus (Leee), Monday, 25 July 2022 16:33 (one year ago) link
maybe i’m just too shook by KD’s performance in the nets series but i’m not convinced swapping jaylen for him meaningfully increases their title odds at the cost of the rest of jaylen’s career
― J0rdan S., Monday, 25 July 2022 16:45 (one year ago) link
jaylen has two years left on his deal and if they feel like he might be a risk to leave then flipping him for KD would be entirely defensible… i wonder if they’ve had any convos with his agent about an extension
― J0rdan S., Monday, 25 July 2022 16:47 (one year ago) link
thats def an issue cause he can get a bigger deal if he becomes a free agent than if he extends is my understanding which obvs makes the extension much less likely
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 July 2022 16:56 (one year ago) link
im sure they would extend him for the max right now if they could
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 July 2022 17:09 (one year ago) link
i agree... it looks like they can extend him oct 1?
― J0rdan S., Monday, 25 July 2022 18:59 (one year ago) link
Celtics should just run it back
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 25 July 2022 20:15 (one year ago) link
yeah making a panic move would be very un-cleticsy here i think. adding brogdon seems like the right move and everyone else on that team should be getting better next season outside of horford/gazelle
― Spottie, Monday, 25 July 2022 20:29 (one year ago) link
brogdons a great add for sure i like the team and think they should run it back, pick up whatever bench guy they need at the deadline, now that theyve proven they can make a deep run they really need to limit starters regular season minutes, they were so fucking cashed by the finals
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 July 2022 21:34 (one year ago) link
I think the Celtics should absolutely trade Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and unnamed rotation player for Kevin Durant. This is a great idea. Please do this Brad. Please. The world needs to see this Tatum, Durant, and ? basketball team.
― Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 25 July 2022 23:13 (one year ago) link
they have brogdon! and horf! and rob williams! its a deep team!
― terence trent d'ilfer (m bison), Monday, 25 July 2022 23:13 (one year ago) link
I need to see this OKC but way worse basketball team fight for the playoffs.
― Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 25 July 2022 23:14 (one year ago) link
Yikes
― Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 25 July 2022 23:18 (one year ago) link
the celtics are definitely better than those OKC teams even without KD
― J0rdan S., Monday, 25 July 2022 23:32 (one year ago) link
or would be even with KD, rather? either way
I would much rather have White than Smart if I’m the nets
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 02:01 (one year ago) link
hollinger: Jaylen Brown is only eligible to make $36 million in 2024-25 in an extension on his current contract, compared to the $44 million he can make as a free agent. The only way out of it, again, is if he becomes supermax eligible by making one of the three All-NBA teams this season. Otherwise, he has no rational reason to extend his deal and would become an unrestricted free agent in 2024.
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 14:17 (one year ago) link
that’s very odd. possible he makes third team this year but def will be an uphill battle for him

I had one castanets song hearted in my Spotify library:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LgaaYoqYhA
May 28 and the Blazers won in OTCarlyle agreed that the boys had played fairclean in the paint and the calls had been squareJason Kidd and Oden were the last ones there when the cameras had gone

ray was one of the purest blazer fans out there, he really joyed in watching the game in a way that i admired and he even eased some of my cynicism about it all at times. such a massive heart!
