Additional details on Jaylen Brown trade, per @sam_amick, @byjayking:
- Trade "not driven by finances"
- Blazers' analytics view Brown as a "negative player"
- One current GM doesn't view Brown as a top-50 player in the league
- Celtics believe all four picks received will be valuable whether kept or used in trades
- Boston questioned whether Brown would buy in to re-accepting a smaller role alongside Jayson Tatum
- Celtics thought Brown went "off script" too often during playoff series loss to Sixers
Jaylen Brown is about to prove a lot of people wrong next season, including the Celtics.
Analytics doesn’t change the fact that he’s a Finals MVP and All-NBA player in his prime.
Messi plays in the USA and Canada every game but I've never seen this kinda crowd in the streets for him like we're seeing for Ronaldo
When you're big, you're big
Lot of reporters, columnists, analysts have lost so much credibility over the past few years with the way they talk about players. Lot of them will come up with their own opinions, find some random source that agrees with it and run with it.
@TheDunkCentral@ShamsCharania Weird cuz when asked last week post the draft Brad said yeah he still thinks the duo can win a championship together with the Celtics
