It is amazing in the NBA when a 2nd fiddle steps up and plays like a 1st fiddle. It is tragic when they believe they are a 1st fiddle and approach the rest of their career like that.

It reminds me of when Roger Waters thought he was Pink Floyd... he left and his solo career was garbage. Hopefully Brown goes to his next stop with some humility, wanting to be a part of the team rather than expecting it to revolve around him.

Jaylen Brown is a very good player and he was the best player during Celtics championship.
Roger Waters is a great artist and he had his fingertips all over Pink Floyd's golden years.

It's perfectly fine when people want to go their own way.

Jaylen Brown is a great player that won a very close (5-4) Finals MVP vote next to Tatum. It could have gone ether way, Brown averaged 24/6/3 and Tatum averaged 25/10/6. Tatum had better advanced stats on both ends of the floor, despite his shot being off. And all of that happened with Tatum being at the top of every opponents whiteboard. Tatum is a better player than Brown every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

The closeout game in that series Tatum had 31/8/11 to Brown's 21/8/6. The Finals MVP was kind of a sham... but Brown did play exceptionally well.

On Roger Waters. He was great when he was part of a collective. But he thought he was bigger than the band and he wasn't, he was smaller.

Brown can lead a team and can be 1st option if he wants that then fine, but if he prefers playing with Tatum in Boston I believe they can win again or at least play in the finals 1-2 more times. I personally would prefer Celtics, unless I can go into another contender without gutting the team out of contention, but his salary is so big I don't think any other team can swallow it and be a true contender. Celtics team is similar to OKC and Spurs - they have a lot of underpaid players that are punching far higher than their salaries would suggest, so I don't think Brown can go anywhere and contend unless OKC or Spurs offer a big package for him, but I don't think either of those team would want to give away picks and young talent for Brown when they think they can win without him now and will have a longer peak with said younger talent, so he is either stuck in Celtics or he won't be on a true contending team imho. Would be interesting to see where he lands this or next season, but looks like he might end up as another "Tray Young" in some team like Washington that will be happy to be in the playoffs without expectations to reach or win the Conference.
