Say what you want about the guy, but that’s a money line from Brown.

The ball moves when JB does not play. How does his 60M next year affect White and Holiday?

Brad Stevens, one of the best in the business, gave the best contract in NBA history to a player we are better without.

He had to sign him…was not allowed to trade.

Trade him to Houston for players and a boat load of picks…

That's seven years people like you try to sell the narrative the Celtics are going to trade Jaylen. Every year the same story. Are you not tired?
Play another game please.

JB has been top 5 NBA player since all-star game. Even the highly suspect on/off stats used to trash him on this thread say so. It’s so nice to see the most maligned players here - JB, White, Kornet and PP - playing so well.

As I post this, JB is dominating and making ESPN top 10 type plays.

If somebody has to go because of salary..I’d keep White all day long
And if it’s Brown or Holiday&White that have to go..it’s Brown
You cannot pay both Tatum and Brown max contracts

I love White and have since he first stepped on the court in Green - he is having a career year and he is almost always makes the right play. But Brown is an elite talent and White is not. If you ask White to fill in as the guy for a given game, he can get the job done. If you ask him to be ‘the guy’ night in and night out, I think he would get exposed.

I prefer to choose both. That said, White is easier to replace.

So Tatum has been top 3 since the all star break?

I’ll hang up and listen.

That is not true.

Cs can pay both JT and JB the max.

It might hurt financially, but as long as the Cs are willing to pay, you'll see both JT and JB playing together until 2030 with both having max contracts.

JBs forces a ton of dumb predicable shots while missing tons of easy layups for other teammates. He makes the game a lot harder than it should be. We have a roster of capable shooters.

His play style freezes his teammates out.

JBs basketball IQ is so low he gets graded on a curve and praised for “heart” and “physicality” when he’s just charging through defenders trying to prove a point and get numbers all game.

Will there ever be a day JB will get judged more on basketball skills? Based on skills he’s not in the same league as Drew or White.

I do agree with White’s father. Like Ive been saying all year, it’s cute and experimental in the regular season, but in the playoffs the point guards need to run the offense. It makes the game easier for the TEAM.

The JB dribble the ball out and force an off target pass at the end of the shot clock is NOT a good play.

Yes, he may get a few more assists by dribbling the air out the ball, or dominating more possessions, but it’s so selfish and immature.

You are the worse ball handler and decision maker. Just give the ball up.

Playing team basketball will make it easier for everyone else. No matter how many quality coaches he’s had, JB still does not GET IT.

Recently quoted saying he would be an MVP candidate if he was #1 on his own team.

Please! Get him off this team!

I gotta be honest, I can’t’t fathom how anyone can be this whiny/overtly negative with the way Jaylen has played lol.

It’s past caricature at this point.

Tatum is the best Celtic and my favorite player. I’m not sure what point you are trying to make. Are you trying to change the subject to Brown vs. Tatum to cover up the fact that your opinion about Brown over the past 2 years has not panned out? I’m not saying Brown is a top 5 player in NBA, just joining a chorus of Celtics beat writers in pointing out how good his last 13 games have been. I think he has been top 5 in pts, top 5 in points in the paint, top 5 in on/off rating, 42% from 3….
