LeBron is open to teaming up with Jaylen Brown despite JB’s comments on Bronny James, per @JDumasReports
Two years ago, Jaylen Brown was caught saying “I don’t think Bronny is a pro.” LeBron has reportedly “moved on”.
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’m a free agent. I don’t have an agent right now just me and my family.
I know I have a lot left, and I genuinely love this game. I’d rather show you I’m ready than spend my time trying to explain why or flood you with analytics to prove it.
If you’re about winning, value mentorship, and think there could be a fit, you can reach me directly. I’m open to every opportunity right now—I just want to make sure I weigh each one carefully.
I can’t wait to share my story.

Ja Morant’s trade value was reportedly so low that people around the league wondered if the Grizzlies would buy him out if they couldn’t find a trade, per @KellyIko
“From Memphis' (or Morant's) perspective, the trade signals the end of what had become an awkward, unfortunate divorce. Over the past few months, Morant's value around the league had rapidly declined as potential landing spots dried up, so much so that rival executives wondered if the Grizzlies' brass would approach Morant for a buyout if nothing ever materialized.”

The Wizards are showing interest in bringing back Russell Westbrook, per @JakeLFischer & @TheSteinLine
This could be fun 🤩
“League sources tell The Stein Line that Washington has a level interest in Russell Westbrook. The nine-time former All-Star's final season of the four in his career in which he averaged a triple-double (22.2 PPG, 11.5 RPG and 11.7 APG) came in 2020-21 with the Wizards.”

Jaylen Brown’s trade value isn’t that high around the league, per @BobbyMarks42
“I had an analytics guy tell me, ‘We view [Jaylen Brown] as the seventh-best player on a TEAM.’”😳

The Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks are expected to be at the front of the line in the Jaylen Brown sweepstakes, per @basketballtalk
“If Brown becomes available, look for Houston and Atlanta to be at the front of the line for him, with a number of other teams — Portland has said it’s interested — in the mix. The challenge will be matching his salary, which is $57.1 million next season and totals about $183 million over the next three years. Brown is coming off his best season as a pro, averaging 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game.”
