@GlennDOrdway Thoughts?

Now that the dust has settled, it’s easier to understand why Boston moved on from Jaylen Brown.

• 36-6 without him over the last three seasons (90-36 all-time)
• Jayson Tatum’s impact metrics jump with Brown off the floor
• Payton Pritchard’s numbers improve significantly without Brown
• Brown finished his Celtics career with a negative on court/off differential
• No NBA player suppresses his teammates’ scoring more while on the floor than Brown, according to the data

Could they have gotten a better return? Absolutely. But when you factor in the looming supermax, the analytics, and the opportunity to add Paul George, it’s not hard to see why they made the move.

Whether it’ll work is another conversation. But the logic behind it is pretty clear.

Bill Simmons describes hearing about the Jaylen Brown trade from his wife picking him up from a colonoscopy:

“I think I’m dead. The anesthesia killed me. Are there more first round picks?

When this trade happened I had a camera in my ass, and I had Paul George rammed up my ass”

@TonyMassarotti I smell an “All-time worst Boston sports trades” for a Mazz’s tiers. I’m sure it’s already in the works.

Really cool to see Wilyer Abreu and Chad Tracy come to Contreras' side.

@Jared_Carrabis No Judge. No Stanton. No Grisham. Sox are going NOWHERE. And I’m a Sox guy…guy.

Totally agree with your Jazz Chisholm take, Big Jim. @bigjimmurray

Red Sox lose 4th straight. Now 8 outta 10. Swept at home by Blue Jays. “Let’s Go Red Sox!”

[Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN]

The Giants are open to offers for their three highest-paid position players — Rafael Devers, Willy Adames, Matt Chapman — among other obvious trade candidates, like Luis Arraez and Robbie Ray.

[James Stewart ☝️ @IAmJamesStewart]

John Henry reaching out to Giants owner Greg Johnson was the reason why the Devers trade happened.
I could see John Henry having a direct conversation with another owner about a trade with a big money contract as part of the trade.

@CMacWFAN I do believe I was cool to you when correcting you earlier on the song bump coming out of the break…never said “you don’t know what you’re talking about” unless you were referring to others who said that.

[Keith C. Rice @RiceRadio]

@CMacWFAN Hey buddy…first it’s Dexy’s Midnight RUNNERS lol not Riders…and second, that wasn’t even the song. That was A-HA “Take on Me” playing as you came back from the break…just a heads up. 😬

[Keith C. Rice @RiceRadio]

Buckle up….Spurs-Thunder should be one helluva series.
