Going from potentially getting Giannis to Paul George for Jaylen Brown is an absurd downgrade, wow.

[Joshua Gitman @JoshGitman]

Worst trade in Celtics franchise history

The best team in baseball in June, by a decent margin, is the Miami Marlins. They're about to go 20-6, have outscored opponents 129-78 this month and have the lowest CBT payroll in MLB. The Marlins' third-highest-paid player is Giancarlo Stanton, who last played for them in 2017.
