@NBA_NewYork I think a rule like this is the logical endpoint for this CBA. Small market teams are still being punished for being small market teams. They get to keep their star but give away the ability to build a team around them due to less cap, then the star wants a trade after 2 years
I was 16 when Jaylen got drafted and I’m 26 now. Through the best and worst moments of my young adult life I could turn on the TV and count on #7 to absolutely detonate on someone at the rim.
Watching him grow from a promising prospect, to a rising star, to an All Star/All-NBA talent was *extremely* cool.
It was 10 amazing, frustrating, exciting, ugly, beautiful, disappointing, fulfilling years. Not always perfect, but it wasn’t supposed to be.
That ring in ‘24 brought a perfect closure to the story for me even if it didn’t quite end there.
I feel some sadness with the end of an era.. but not dread. I enjoyed this journey thoroughly and didn’t take it for granted.
@Boston_Diehards I think Cs dodged a bullet. Very risky move to get Giannis. He is kinda old (especially for the style he plays the game), and somewhat injury-prone. Sure, it would have been a splashy move, but it feels like there are better and less costly moves that would better serve the Cs
That’s crazy. Do you know when there was zero rain in Washington D.C?

Chris Mannix: Trading Jaylen Brown for Giannis? The Height of Insanity
"On paper, Giannis is better, but Jaylen Brown is durable. You cannot say with certainty that Giannis, at 31 or 32 years old, is going to be healthy moving forward. I would not trade Jaylen Brown for anybody right now! I wouldn’t trade him for Giannis, and I wouldn't trade him for anyone else that is out there."
