I may be in the minority, but I’m frightened our front office is going to go all in on a 30 yr old Jaylen Brown. If I thought we had the top tier players to compliment him and truly contend, I’d be excited to add him. But I don’t think we have the foundation of talent and with his $60 mil salary I think this would lock us into a win now window for the next 3 seasons. We just aren’t on a contending level, even with JB. Like everything it depends on what we have to give up, but I don’t want to cash in all our picks for an older player.
You are right to be scared. Do you think either Stone or Ime have a job this time next year if they don't get out of the 1st round? Expect some kind of desperate win-now move for sure.
I’d welcome JB with open arms if the cost was KD and FVV, but the cost is likely way more egregious and will cost us at least Sengun and multiple picks. Neither JB or Giannis makes us a contender if we have to give up the assets that make it difficult to fill out the rest of the roster and that is the reality. If the JB for Giannis trade happens it will be pretty much be straight up, because no other org is going to be stupid enough to give up mulitiple picks and good players to facilitate it (which is the only reason to include any other team). I will be shocked if Boston breaks up their team. They are a competent center away from being the favorite in the East next year and have 34m under the 2nd apron to make it happen. Being in the 2nd Apron for 1 to 2 years is no big deal for an already built championship roster.
