@DoubleOhT @FanaticsBook what years did he have an elite defense

[john @johnjohn_711]

@srbeanman @Karma82416 @Big_Prison_Mike nobody wanted a player like Jaylen Brown with his contract, that’s the entire point of the weak return on his trade

Jayson Tatum Defense (2024 Playoffs)

Just dudes being dudes

[john @johnjohn_711]

@kiaradidwhat @MetsW0rldSeries @GoodFundies a 95 game difference doesn’t make up for
256 hits
96 RBIs
53 SBs
or the BA difference
I’m not saying Wright was better than Soto during that stretch, but the idea that he’s “not even close” is a brain dead take @MetsW0rldSeries moron

[Eric Nathan @BarstoolNate]

Oh by the way Odyssey is one of the best movies of all time

[john @johnjohn_711]

@MetsW0rldSeries @GoodFundies did you not see the hits, rbis, stolen bases, & batting average portion

[Robbie Fox @RobbieBarstool]

Literally cannot stop thinking about The Odyssey. Need to see it again ASAP.

Thinking about football.

[Green Machine @greenmachine18_]

They really swept the fact that Tatum dominated KD and Kyrie 4 straight games in a sweep under the rug pretty seamlessly man

[Max Tani @maxwelltani]

we gotta go back to wearing suits

[Corey B @CoreyB08]

This is why I fucking laugh.

1. They won an NBA title and gave the team a chance to repeat. They failed and Tatum tore his achillies

2. No matter who the owner was they were alway moving on from Al/Jrue/KP/Kornet. No owner was paying a 3rd straight year of repeater tax and staying in the 2nd apron for that roster without knowing if Tatum would even be back that season

3. Ownership is literally currently paying the same exact amount of money as it did last season.

4. They literally used their entire MLE and just signed Queta to an extension. So how has ownership proven they wont spend?

5. We have 0 idea if ownership with spend in 2027-28. Brad literally laid it out for you. They needed more roster flexibility and paying Jaylen/Jayson 70% of the salary cap over the next 3+ seasons what not a realistic way for them to build the team anymore

6. I beg you to do some research on the CBA for everyone’s sanity

[Brian Barrett @itsbrianbarrett]

Brad hit on it, but the new CBA really is crazy

the fact that Jaylen/Tatum went from 47% of the cap to 70% is crazy

The Celts drafted and developed two guys that earned super max contracts .

That led to making massive changes.

[Boston Celtics @celtics]

✅ 5x All-Star
✅ 2x All-NBA Second Team
✅ ECF & Finals MVP
✅ NBA Champion

The impact you made both on and off the court will forever be felt by the city of Boston and Celtics fans everywhere.

Thank you to one of the all-time great Celtics, Jaylen Brown ☘️

After sitting here watching NBA free agency this year and overall NBA movement over the past 2 years somebody has to say it....

The new CBA was sold as parity, but the first and second apron are starting to function like a hard cap on player value, team continuity, and player movement.

Teams are no longer making purely basketball decisions. They’re making fear-based apron decisions. That means good players get squeezed, homegrown cores get broken up, fan-favorite teams lose their identity, and the overall product loses some of the nostalgia and continuity that made people fall in love with the NBA in the first place.

This isn’t about players not understanding business. It’s the opposite. We understand that the NBA is a business. That’s why the @TheNBPA has to operate with elite business acumen, elite negotiating strategy, and real foresight.

The owners and the league walk into these meetings with killers that continue to run circles around us time and time again with elite lawyers, economists, cap experts, media strategists, and long term business operators. Players deserve a PA that is just as sharp, just as prepared, and just as aggressive about protecting our upside.

Too often, it feels like players are informed after the fact instead of being truly educated and empowered before decisions are made. That cannot continue.

The next CBA is a do or die moment for us as players. It's only going to get worse for us. We need transparency, accountability, and a serious re evaluation of who is representing us and how they are representing us.

This is not anti parity. This is pro player, fan, and product. The league is strongest when players are valued properly, great teams can stay together, and the people representing us are operating at the same level as the people sitting across the table.

[Dan Greenberg @StoolGreenie]

It is possible to do all these things at once:

1. Understand and accept the basketball side/reasons as to why Brad Stevens made the trade

2. Be upset/sad that Jaylen Brown is no longer a Celtic

3. Still think the 2026-27 Celtics will be good

4. Be concerned/nervous about what this could now mean for the future

I guess that's apparently hard for some to grasp, but it is in fact possible
