People keep evaluating the trade like the Celtics gave up Jaylen Brown for pennies. They didn’t.
They moved a player due $57M, $61M, and $65M over the next 3 years who was reportedly seeking ANOTHER supermax.
In return:
• 2 firsts
• 2 seconds
• Paul George at a lower overall cost with trade flexibility
The contract matters. That’s why the return looks the way it does. Everyone around the league knew it too. And Boston will be better because of it.
I’d love for you all to go check out my podcast I started recently talking about sports, in specific football and basketball. Here’s the link to the latest episode, I’ve done 2 episodes so far. Thanks again
