Who wants Jaylen Brown and what is your offer?

[ryan in Maine]

Not sure if this is Brown's contract negotiations or not but basically calling the fanbase and city racist suggests he wants out. Could be he wants for other reasons : change, bigger role, out of Tatum's shadow, etc. If you can angle yourself towards a team you want to go in free agency, why not start the process earlier.

He did no such thing. He literally qualified his statements by pointing out that it's a vocal minority of fans that is problematic.

Stop supporting the commercialization/commodification of drama in sports.

Brown for Pascal + small incentive is the move if they have to trade Brown.

Q: Other athletes have spoken about the negative way that fans have treated Black athletes while playing in Boston. Have you experienced any of that?

A: I have, but I pretty much block it all out. It’s not the whole Celtic fan base, but it is a part of the fan base that exists within the Celtic nation that is problematic.

I definitely think there’s a group or an amount within the Celtic nation that is extremely toxic and does not want to see athletes use their platform, or they just want you to play basketball and entertain and go home. And that’s a problem to me.

Would love him to be on the Bulls moving forward but not much to really make an offer with our current crop of s*** that were throwing on the court lol

this so much. would looove to see him in Bulls jersey but doubt we can offer anything worthwhile. maybe if he runs his contract out and signs as a FA? don't know if he's restricted or not tbh, just like him as a player a lot.

Think you misunderstood ItsDanger. I don't think he meant that you were supposed to provide the exact quote, but to provide the quote in a way that supported his argument that Jaylen was calling all of Boston racist. Hope that helps!

[GreatWhiteStiff]

ItsDanger can be a bit silly at times, we're more used to him on the raptors board.

Siakam for Brown is good for both teams IMO.

Brown is much better player than Siakam. Only Siakam is not enough. Siakam + Achiuwa makes more sense for Brown.

If thats all it takes then sure.

I think it balances the roster for both teams, allows Boston to trade him if he actually wants out for someone they can continue to compete with as well because he's All NBA in his own right. Raps get a self creating big guard that can score on 3 levels and put pressure on the rim. He's the same age as OG and can easily play next to Scottie and OG for the foreseeable future. Also think he would Toronto as a city itself

Big Jaylen Brown fan here.



You have to give up quality to get quality ...

so being generous ....

Pascal Siakam, Malachi Flynn and one protected First

If we can loosen the protection and get Pritchard back then lets do it

@UnbelievablyRAW
So from the 2 of your posts I see that you believe Malachi Flynn is better than Precious Achiuwa I wonder if most of the Raptors fans are also so clueless.

Precious has enough going forward that I'm saying .... Brown + FRP = Siakam and Achuiwa

[BuddyBuckets]

Brown + Smart for CJ + Ingram ?

Brogdan/CJ/BI/Tatum/Horford

Smart/Brown/Herb or Trey/Zion/JV

Are you really Raptors fan? Siakam + Achiuwa for Brown is a big overpay. Achiuwa should not be available in any package unless we are getting a superstar and Brown is no superstar. Siakam + Flynn / FRP is good enough for Brown.

[FluLikeSymptoms]

Siakam is still better than Brown and he’s a better fit with Tatum.

One offer is Pascal and Precious for Brown

The other is Pascal, Malachi and a protected first for Brown. Not seeing how the inclusion of a first makes Flynn more valuable in this trade scenario

I don't evaluate Precious that highly and don't think he'd be in the closing lineup of a real contender. I'd rather the future first over Precious which is why if we were to offer a first instead I'd try to get Pritchard back

[Duke4life831]

Just save me some time and do the Brown and BI swap. This way I wont have to watch Pels and BOS games.

[GrindCityHustle]

7 2nd round picks

Very clever

I'd do that deal in a heartbeat. Sure Precious is a great building block but he's worth the cost of bringing in a 26yo perimeter stud with the ability to become our efficient #1 option. JB on the Raps would be unleashed, I could easily see getting it up to 30ppg.

Precious just hasn't been good this year nor healthy enough to be relied upon. He's never going to develop into his potential with our current roster. Moving Pascal also frees up Scottie to play his natural PF position while addressing our bench needed ball handling/primary scorer needs.

Pascal + Precious + FRP for JB & Pritchard would be awesome.
