Marquis Teague, former Brooklyn Nets player, speaks on his ex-Teammate’s, Kevin Garnett & John Collins (1st active openly ghey NBA player)
His Brother, Jeff Teague wanted to know what KG told Jason Collins, so Marquis told them a WILD story on the Team plane between KG & John Collins 👀
The Team: “Let’s get some H03Z over here man, we good to go, let’s get it going!” 💃
KG to Collins: “We got you too Boy! Don’t worry bout it! We’re gonna bring some Niggas” 😭😭😭
KG made sure his teammate didn’t feel left out.
Additional details on Jaylen Brown trade, per @sam_amick, @byjayking:
- Trade "not driven by finances"
- Blazers' analytics view Brown as a "negative player"
- One current GM doesn't view Brown as a top-50 player in the league
- Celtics believe all four picks received will be valuable whether kept or used in trades
- Boston questioned whether Brown would buy in to re-accepting a smaller role alongside Jayson Tatum
- Celtics thought Brown went "off script" too often during playoff series loss to Sixers
Even if they do have a better season, they spending money to help JT so it’s not equal. They dumped money when he was hurt cuz they didn’t think JB was HIM.
Analytics killing the game. Brown got doubled and guarded by the best defender. Who guarded white? They had nobody on the team and he couldn’t get 20+? But JB not the smartest in the room? Okay 😂😂😂
Windhorst: "(The Celtics) felt that Derrick White had a better season (than Jaylen Brown)."
White in 25-26:
16.5 PPG
4.4 RPG
5.4 APG
+6.8 on-off net rating (per @databallr, low leverage removed)
Brown:
28.7 PPG
6.9 RPG
5.1 APG
-6.2 on-off net rating
I’m one of the ppl who like JB more than JT. JB gotta guard the best player 1-4 then score 20 points with efficiency cuz the offense build for Tatum lol
People in the NBA believe Jaylen Brown has a "disease" where he thinks he’s the smartest person in the room, per @colincowherd
“I had two NBA sources … two people in the league, one an executive, one a scout, say that Jaylen Brown has — it’s a disease. He suddenly thinks he’s the smartest guy in every room he’s in ... You make a lot of money, suddenly you’re absolutely sure, you don’t wanna listen to your bosses, you don’t wanna listen to consultants, you don’t wanna listen to teammates.”

I miss the days where point guards took just as much pride in getting assist as shooting the ball. PG’s shooting almost every other time down, and THINKING score first, every time is NASTY hoop lol..
