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

Go Rockets!!!

You might be right - trading Sengun is the thing loser franchises do. Winner franchises trade for Sengun.

 

Wait. There are actually people suggesting trading Jalen Green for a 1 year rental? Sure you can hope Brown would be retained, but to even consider trading Green is delusional. Right now I can't say who/what I would trade until I know how the Lottery Gods bestow their fortune. If you have Harden, Green, Brown, and Jabari then you don't need Sengun. His skill is having the offense run through him. That isn't happening in this lineup. Vic has already said he doesn't want to play C so who plays IF the Rockets get him?

 

No way Vic isn’t playing Center. Or really guarding a 5. On offense who cares? He can play anywhere, that’s the beauty of his game.

 

Wemby is too thin to play center in the NBA and he can’t put on weight or his feet and ankles will be a huge problem. He will have to play SF if he can stay up defensively or PF where again he will overpowered from time to time. I guess we could go to a zone dominated defense with Wemby as the anchor because of his shot blocking ability.

 

SOFs in full panic mode!!!

 

You want to trade a 21 year old for a 26 year old who was worse than aid 21 year old at the same age?

Why?

 

I'm sure the Celtics would rather have Green than Sengun. So would most other NBA GMs. You are really obsessed with one year worth of advanced analytics. Why do you think NBA defenses give the most attention to Green in half court sets?

 

@NewAge has a complex with Jalen Green. His rookie year he made several comments about him being too feminine to ever be a good player in the nba. I made a thread with some of the stuff he was saying (an extremely sarcastic one) to show him how ridiculous his statements were and the reactions to that thread at least made him stop his nonsense.

As you see though he still wants him to be traded. Apparently feminine Green nails painted and all is good enough now to get an all star Brown in a trade. Which taken within all of the above context is quite funny.

 

@NewAge just can't handle the rizz of Jalen

 

I like JB but I would not trade Green or Bari for him.

 

My god you’re the biggest player only fan on here. If this trade happens, go follow his ass to Boston since we’d losers in your mind

 

If Green is everything we think he is going to be I don't understand our interest in JB. Maybe this is the front office having second thoughts on Green. They play the exact same position and I don't want to see one of them playing SF cuz we would be too small.

 

I’d much prefer Bridges to Brown. Both are excellent players and both play both sides of the ball. Bridges is signed for 3 year at 21M. Brown could be a 1 year rental, and, if not will want a max contract. It would be stupid to break the bank for Brown. Now if Boston will give you permission to negotiate his next contract and except a package of say our pick this year if not pick 1 or 2 and maybe another 1 or 2 of the Net picks/swaps you might consider it, but no way should we give up Green, Jabari, or Sengun. Patience is needed with how we spend our assets. We would also still need to address PG.

 

I wouldn't trade either Green or Sengun or Bari or Tari. If they want KPJ and filler and some picks, fine.

 

That’s silly lol

 

Now this is an interesting development, if there's any truth to it.

If getting Brown is a realistic possibility, We need to jump on it. We have the resources, the question is would Brown bite and buy in? That depends on the new coaching staff and their vision, and on the willingness of the ownership to spend.

Brown is a prime player, a true 2 way wing that plays in control, likes to attack and has a great shot, while being a menace on D. A guy like that next to Jalen and Jabari? Yes please.

The price will be steep though, hopefully Boston really likes a couple of our youngsters not named Green, Smith and Eason. I would HATE to lose Sengun, but I think Boston doesn't do a trade without him in it. If We somehow get Brown and keep JG/Alpi/Bari/Tari, then all this pain will be worth it lol.

 

Tari’s ceiling is a high level role player, so stop. Gotta give up something good to get a star. This team won 22 games, I don’t wanna hear about who you don’t wanna trade. This roster isn’t good and needs to be upgraded with star players

 

I mean in a sense I see how Bridges can be a better fit. Brown scores mainly off the dribble as of now. He's kinda a ball stopper in a sense
He's efficient but again he's a iso heavy player.

Bridges is more plug and play. He's an excellent catch and shoot guy who can navigate screens and space the floor great and doesn't need to do many iso possessions.

If Sengun is part of this core, Bridges makes more sense as he would operate better in a Senhub offense than Brown.
