Thats a lot of words to explain how he just paid a short 37 year old who can't jump and averages 4 points in 30 minutes, with a player option too.

All the love for PJ, go get your sneaker money brother

I love Jaylen Brown and have been on his bandwagon since pre-draft. I'm not sure I agree with this (maybe), but I love the energy

My hesitation is that I'm not sure he can be the alpha dog on a champion. I'm definitely not sure Tatum can either, but I think we've seen more of it from him than Brown to this point.

I’m in the complete opposite camp. I think Brown is a Danny Granger level player. He has nights where he can barely dribble the ball and his defense falls off a cliff. I have a sneaking suspicion Boston trades him in the off-season for their true Tatum sidekick. It feels like Brad is giving Udoka a year to see if he can get more out of the duo and if he can’t, there will be some massive moves and Jaylen is the bait.

who was guarding him?

Pachinko_ · Post #1024 » by **Pachinko_** » Thu Oct 21, 2021 1:57 am

looks like some combination of Kemba and Fournier
I mean good on Jalen for taking advantage of it, but I'd probably also get a couple of points against those guys

Hornets come back from 23 down to beat Indy

Jaylen Brown can go get a bucket whenever he wants one. His handle is incredible these days

Do the Suns get participation ribbons before their game tonight?

If MIN can figure out how to get Simmons without giving up DLo/Edwards/Kat, they will be good.

I was hacked if someone looks back and see posts under my user name for us to swing for the fences to sign kemba instead of midds.

He’s a buck legend already and contributed to the first ring in forever but it made no sense to pay him more than a minimum, Tucker is the only non-hof old guy in the league to get more than 4 or 5 million a year. I’m very happy he got his money though.

every team gives up the same 3's we give up. these guys just can all shoot shoot shoot. the whole league now

never seen two teams so hot so long then go so cold so fast so together

Why was Tatum taking that shot? He’s 6-25 tonight. Brown is 15-25 and has been unstoppable.
