    I mean, even if he did, he still wouldn't be one of the worst defensive players in the league.

    If Jalen reaches his potential he could be better than Jaylen Brown - that's the point. That's why the Celtics would do the deal. Just like when the Clippers traded SGA and picks for PG.

    "I'd only give up Tate, Christopher, and a brisket. I might include Boban if we get to keep all our picks."

    No

    You trade potential for realized potential.
    You don't get to just dump all the players you don't like with limited upside for all-stars.

    Green for Brown

    I can see Boston doing a variation of this trade instead of losing Brown for nothing.

    Harden
    Brown
    Sengun
    Smith
    Tari
    KMJ
    Free agents
    Draft

    Playoff team

    Translation: Boston said no.

    some sort of success metrics as we head into the draft would be interesting convo.

    Imagine adding Wemby to that.

    I don't think we make any trades before we know where we will pick. Probably no major trades before draft day.

    Jalen Green and Jabari should be the Rockets future. They can trade Sengun and Kevin Porter Jr, and the other players they have.

    dumbass Sixers fans think what the Rockets were discussing was using Jalen Green in a sign and trade for James Harden…

    Brown's sophomore (2017-18 season), he was competing with Rozier, Irving, Hayward, and a rookie Tatum for shots. It was a very dog eat dog world back then. He learned to played off ball, before getting on ball reps later in his career.

    Even though the org denies it, I think there could be some merit to this report. I fear they probably would package Jalen Green in a trade if Harden were to come back to build a superteam around him.

    I call BS. “Discussed” could mean someone brought it up and the other team said no way. Or someone asked what it would take, and the Rox said “Giannis”. No way we’re moving Green this quickly without a blockbuster deal.

    Sixers fans even making YouTube videos about it. Crazy. All based off of a false report.

    The problem here is how much Houston wants a star like Jaylen Brown, because the only way to get Brown via trade is to send a future star like Jalen Green. If we send KPJ all we'll get is Jaylen Brown's shoelaces!
