Players first, John!

[Chris Beasmore @CBeasmoreSports]

Former Kentucky head coach John Calipari is backing the SEC’s new eligibility rules amid the ongoing situation with Mark Mitchell and others

“I like what the SEC is doing. If a player doesn’t like what the SEC is doing, what? Go to another league. And if a coach doesn’t like what the SEC is doing?” Calipari said.

“Go to another league, which they’re free to do,” Andy Katz interjected.

“Just do it. Make it hard. Do it right,” Calipari responded.

With Mitchell’s eligibility battle continuing, many will be watching to see if he and others will become eligible. 😼 #BBN

Case to be made that Milan Momcilovic and Mark Mitchell were the two best players to transfer this offseason; will now become one of the elite duos in college basketball -- and should fit really well alongside one another. Kentucky squarely in the preseason top-10 conversation.

BOOMER: "Nobody wants to work anymore."

YOU: "I work 50 hours a week."

BOOMER: "Doing what, on a computer?"

YOU: "Yes. It pays $58,000."

BOOMER: "I made $18,000 and owned a house."

YOU: "That's the whole point."

BOOMER: "We didn't complain, we just worked."

YOU: "You worked one job and got a pension. I work one job and get a 401k match if I'm lucky."

BOOMER: "Nobody handed me anything."

YOU: "College was $600 a year. Your first house was 2x your salary. Your employer covered your family's health insurance."

BOOMER: "That was normal back then."

YOU: "Exactly. It was normal. Now it's impossible."

BOOMER: "So what do you want, a handout?"

YOU: "I want what was normal."

BOOMER: *silent*

You didn't outwork us.

You just lived in the version of the country where working was enough.

The two parties give us the same result no matter who is in charge.
More debt.
More foreign wars.
More unaffordable living no matter how hard you work.
The two parties are total failures.

Let me get this straight..

the S&P 500 just hit $69.7 trillion in market cap..

the entire US economy.. every job.. every factory.. every paycheck in America.. is worth $32.4 trillion..

so the stock market is worth more than TWICE the country that supposedly produces it..

let me say that again..

top 10 stocks alone are worth $29 trillion.. that's almost the entire GDP of the United States sitting in ten companies..

and the richest 10% of Americans own 87% of all that stock wealth..

your paycheck didn't grow 215% this year.. your rent didn't drop.. your job isn't worth more..

but the number on the screen just broke every record that's ever existed..

they call this "the best economy in history"..

best for who.

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications right now.

Jaylen Brown was not traded. Jaylen Brown was salary-dumped. The Celtics canvassed the league asking for anyone who might be interested. They were rebuffed. Repeatedly.

They could not manage to get a Tre Murphy swap with fillers. They couldn't manage to get a Jrue Holiday + picks package.

In the end, the Sixers offer was underwhelming, but it was the best one they had.

And the Celtics learned what many front offices have known for a while. Top 25-30 players who get paid top 10 money become bottom 100 assets, even in their prime.

The Celtics paid Jaylen Brown for the same reason the Clippers paid Paul George. They wanted to max out the contention window for their star by re-signing their supporting caste.

It's a trap many teams fall into when trying to max contention windows. Klay got the bag post ACL injury because the Warriors wanted to help Steph. Myles got paid so the Bucks could help Giannis.

Hell, right now the Raptors are about to pay Kawhi Leonard 170+ million over 3 years to help open up Scottie Barnes' window.

But the reality is grim. 29ppg isn't enough anymore. Not without the impact, efficiency, defense and making your teammates better.

Brown wasn't a great defender this year. He's an aggressive but less than superstar level scorer... And at nearly 60 million a year, with the analytical impact and player profile of an borderline All Star, the Celtics bet that Paul George + picks was worth getting off of one additional year of Jaylen Brown.

It's not a popular decision. But it's reality. Front offices don't value him. Just like they didn't value Ja, BI and Trae Young.

Learn the lesson. If you max out these types of players, you're going to be holding them well past expiration.
