People are going to hate the presser Monday
Brad will talk up Jaylen. He’ll thank him for his time with Boston. He’ll explain how he feels PG still has a lot of good basketball left. He’ll briefly say a comment about CBA and how the picks will create roster flexibility in the future. He’ll explain he has high expectations for guys like Baylor, Hugo, and RJ to take big leaps. He’ll talk about how Mitchell played in the playoffs and brings great defense, great rebounding and is a championship veteran. He’ll talk about how he’s always loved Mike Conley’s game and he’s a constant professional.
Bill will talk about trusting Brad and Mike’s decisions and bring up Brad being the EOTY. He’ll reassure (even if it’s true or not irregardless) that’s he’s committed to winning and paying to do so won’t be a problem.
We will get 0 actual clarity on the internal working of Jaylen trade
Derrick White averaged 11 PPG while shooting 32% from the field and shooting 27% from 3 in that Celtics vs Sixers playoff series and somehow ducked all slander.
Jaylen Brown averaged 26-6-3 in that series and is getting all the blame.
Crazy.
Now that we’re a couple days removed from the Jaylen Brown trade, let’s kinda realize you essentially replaced Brown with Jayson Tatum, then added Paul George, Mitchell Robinson and four picks.
Payton Pritchard will get more touches, Scheierman and Gonzalez get more minutes. This is a better team.
There's a real chance Jaylen Brown could just be Rudy Gay who just so happened to play on a team that had great coaching structure and enough pieces around him for him to be successful & Brad Stevens was ahead of the curve...........OR the advanced metrics simply aren't measuring him properly & the league as a whole is wrong about him. I can't call it right now but I can't wait to see how it plays out.
My gut feel is that PG13 was a more portable player & I'm not sure how Maxey, VJ, Brown and Embiid will fit together and they're probably a 2nd round exit, again.
2K marketing funny AF. They got this whole 24 day countdown going on just to piss everyone off when the news they drop is the same ole basic shit. Calling it now.. After the countdown we’re only gonna see the cover athlete and the dates of when they will share actual gameplay.
