Bill Simmons: Jaylen Brown wants to be traded to Houston?

I hear KPJ murders people, nobody wants that.

Will you enjoy being a Celtics fan next season?

 

Well to me If he's somewhat close to a jokic , that shows the NBA is played now.. to have a playmaker from center is way more valuable especially if we get wemby then having jabari and wemby both won't play center

 

Ya seriously.

This is one of those weird dilemmas for Bobby here. KPJ is allegedly the most important piece on the rockets according to him. Logically that means he would be the one player the Celtics might say yes to in his eyes according to his rhetoric.


And we all here know, even him that the Celtics or any GM would laugh at such a trade for Brown significantly more than a package that just included Sengun or Green. He knows that. He knows that the entire league at every level believes KPJ is a lesser talent then those two. He knows he can't bring up KPJ in a trade package for Brown. He knows how embarrassing that package is subconsciously.

 

So we have the most delusional Sengun superfan and the most delusional Jalen Green superfan both resorting to outright lying.....

I've made neither statement, I said all season long that Sengun was the best performing player on the Rockets and I've never said that KPJ was the "most important piece" on the Rockets. but here we are.

I'm pretty sure I said all season KPJ was the second best performing player on the team...but somehow that gets spun into those two statements when the superfans get worried about their favorite players potentially getting traded.


This is why I say that the cancer that is player only or player first fans is exactly the same no matter what player they simp for. Be a fan of the team or your opinion is invalid.

 

Once again, DD is ahead of the pack....yes to Brown, yes to Green for Brown, yes to Sengun for Brown, yes to KPJ for Brown, yes to picks for Brown....whatever it takes (within reason) let's go.

Called this yesterday.

I think if Brown comes here, then I bet JH13 does too, because these dudes never go anywhere alone.

Imagine a Starting 5 of Wembanyama, Green Harden, Smith and Brown? If we have Udoka or Brooks at coach, we would win 50 plus games easily, especially in this weak Western Conference.

 

I hope you are playing a shtick man.

I really do because if not you embody the sentiment of "if the first you encounter in the day is an *******, then they are the *******, if everyone after throughout the day you encounter is also a *******, then mostly likely you are the *******".


Basically your self awareness is a vapid bottomless pit.

 

Brandon Miller was part of a very real murder --- guys here seemingly would be willing to ignore that because they think he can play ball. Very curious!

 

While I would love Brown here, I can’t imagine a trade scenario that doesn’t involve Green, Smith, or our top pick this year.

So, here’s the question — would you include Green, Smith, or our pick this season (assuming it is 3rd or later)? If so, which asset would you be most willing to let go?

 

Wake me up when either Embiid or Jokic win a ring. The NBA is not played inside out anymore. At least those guys have games that expand beyond 6 feet.

 

Ahead of the pack, lol. I know you said that with humor and I do appreciate how you can make fun of yourself at times. None of those scenarios is a good idea for a re-building team that is not 1 player away. I’m impatient too, especially given my age, but Brown is not a superstar and giving away any of our strong core of youth is a path to mediocrity. I’m ok with giving up lots of picks including this year’s if not 1 or 2, and some of our good role players like KJM, Tate, and KPJ if we sign Harden or get Scoot. I think Bridges is a better fit and is less expensive in terms of money and assets. If we can’t get either for a reasonable price then we still plug away with some decent vets like Conley and some other above average vets and save our powder when a real superstar wants to make the move. In the mean time, with a decent coach our youth will continue to improve (I think Jabari makes a quantum leap) and that will make us more attractive to the likes of Luka.

 

No to Green or Smith, the whole point of getting Brown IMO is having a good young core and having a guy like Brown that is young enough to still grow with teh core but help us start winning right now.

Yes to the picks. The deal I'm thinking of revolves around the pick this year, Sengun, KJM, and whatever else to fill out the deal. I mean that's a good deal. Two very good prospects and a top 7 pick.

I think Green and Smith just have so much room to grow, I'd be hesitant in trading them. I think the same of Sengun but we have to give the Celtics something and honestly Jabari played pretty well as a center when asked to.

KPJ
Green
Brown
Eason
Smith

I'd roll with that easy. Or...

Harden
Green
Brown
Eason
Smith

Sounds good to me. Let's go.

 

Trade anyone expect Tari and Jabari.

 

John Granato did say a few weeks back that Jaylen Brown wants out of Boston and the Rockets may pursue him

Sorry if I missed your posts, you have been on ignore for the longest time and just came off it due to a general amnesty.

 

Green and Alp should be off limits. Anyone else on the current roster is ok

 

LOL, no worries, I know that some people struggle with seeing opinions they don't agree with and feel the need to create an echo chamber. It's not something I concern myself with.

 

No one on this team is good enough to be "off limits" for the right deal. The Rockets have no star caliber players.
