    Happy to send Alpy and Jabari for Tatum. Maybe even give them a pick...

    We need any offensive talent we get or enjoy watching the Houston bricklayers the next couple seasons.

    Summon David Stern. This is a sham. I didn't want to give up anyone 24 and under from this roster for him. However, for some of our picks, Eason, CC, Finney it would have been the best of times. They can't allow this trade. Celtics getting the first pick next year.

    Wow. Two firsts, two seconds and a bad contract for JB? It’s not a complete salary dump, but that had to be the prevailing factor. Really stunned thats all they got.

    Totally agree.

    Imagine Brown getting the same amount of defensive pressure KD got last year with Browns' handles? His TO rate would double KDs.

    Stone isn’t even trying

    can’t even stop texting his side chick for 2 seconds to beat a Paul George offer

    he better have some move simmering in the crock pot because Marcus Smart and Bogdan is not gonna cut it…not even close

    yea we need the picks so our elite drafting GM can pick the one player who doesn't pan out the 5th straight time

    lol KD’s handles are even worse than Brown’s

    Who was Brown playing with that garnered so much defensive attention? Derrick White and Payton Pritchard? Hugo Gonzoles? Isn’t KD playing with “franchise player” Sengun and the amazing Amen?

    KD is still the more efficient player with a longer track record and everything else is a wash.

    I'm not wasting future assets for that.

    Brown would make almost 150% what KD makes.

    Imagine paying Brown what OKC is paying SGA or Spurs paying Wemby yeah thats def gonna elevate us. Brown will turn 30 this season and the board says 33 is old and washed.

    Brown makes sense for Philly cuz they are trying to maximize Embiid who only has a couple years left. On our team people wanna get rid of all the old people but somehow angry we didnt trade for Jaylen Brown. Make it make sense.

    Stone has to be one of the worst GMs. It's wild.

    Boston really wanted him gone cause his success last year got to his head.

    Boston knows he's not that good.

    Just choose a direction and go with it. If we're not going to seriously compete, get us draft picks and young players so we have something to get excited about. If we're going to keep acquiring veterans take a real swing. Stop trying to have it both ways, nobody is buying it
