I’d trade comedian and magicbagley for KD easy. I draw the line at adding zoya to that package though.

Cool, well for all your voter fraud you’re not moving the needle much — a week+ after the Woj bomb about Jaylen’s involvement this poll has shifted from 62/38 “no” to 59/41 “no” — looks like we could “call” this as the final result.

THIS is how I like Durant — beaten by the Celtics ;)
Look at those spindly limbs and twisted old joints don’t sign me up for 4/$200M of that

Good thing brad counts for all those electoral votes then. I guess this is the popular vote. It’ll be a Hard pill to swallow for some I guess. 8-)

Brad disagreed, knew we were too valuable, and offered Jaylen instead. I know it must hurt, but you’ll get over it.

PSSSST, Steef is also 100% on board trading Jaylen for KD, and was joking around.

So hurry up, Nets.


If I had my say Durant would have been traded for Brown and White with the only discussion being about draft considerations when Brad made the initial offer. I'm about fed up with Sean Marks and KD equally at this point.

omg YES it is a popular vote so posters can get on record with their take on trading JB for KD. Specifically because 15 years later we still struggle with who felt what about trading Al Jefferson for KG (a scenario that has some similarities and some differences).

As reiterated with the comedian fairly often, many of us feel the board is better when people establish a position and own it later.

That is all I’m doing with this thread. Some have probably abstained (might be on the fence), many no doubt are on vacation from the board, and at least you seem to be revoting to try to muddy the results, which could be an opportunity for you to reflect on whether or not you have coping skills to deal with people having a different opinion than you do.

But it seems a slight majority of Celtics fans do not want to trade JB for KD. That doesn’t mean it won’t happen, nor are many of us under the delusion that what we vote about this or post about this on this message board is going to influence Celtic management. Just registering opinions about a possible trade opportunity.

I wonder how long this poll will remain up/viable?

Once camp starts we ain’t trading Jaylen. That’s an offseason trade. Most likely scenario is KD stays and to be transparent I have voted once and am having fun.

So no self reflection needed here in that regard. Thanks tho

Has Jaylen been traded? If It was for you and Comedian Brown would have been traded for garbage.
Right now there are speculations about KD and you are trying to reverse the narrative.

Reverse the narrative? That’s actually you. For years comedian, myself and other have said Jaylen being in trade rumors for guys like harden, Durant and kawhi wasn’t a bad thing and that it was actually a compliment to him. That he was a very good player and top 30 in the nba. You said anyone who said such things is a “hater”. Even the mere suggestion made someone a “hater”

For a year you told us “brad knows better than you” and now that brown has been actually offered in a deal(by brad btw) you say “if brad is offering Jaylen for KD perhaps you underrated him” which is the exact thing many have tried to tell YOU every time a Jaylen trade was suggested- that Jaylen does have real value and it’s a compliment to him. So it is in fact you whose trying to change the narrative and actually use the same argument we have been making for some time now.

Btw all the deals I personally have pushed seriously again are for james harden, kawhi Leonard, KD and Anthony Davis. Not one of those guys is “garbage” at all. Don’t be a hypocrite. It’s ok to have a Jaylen fetish but at least be factual here. The worst deal I ever considered was beal if and only if Jaylen had to be included and that was primarily when beal had multiple years on his deal.

I just recently said I wouldn’t trade him for Mitchell who is absolutely Better than Jaylen but not good enough to justify the package it would cost. So tbh the only “hater” here Is you and it’s towards anyone who had the “audacity” to use Jaylen to dare try and get the team to the next level.

Many here have felt this trade rumor may not have even been a real offer and that the leak was due to ulterior motives. You guys told us to “get our heads out of the sand” as if there was more to the story than there ever was. Here we are a week later and not only is there no trade but more and more reporteding that it was probably BS all along. At least admit it was always just your opinion instead of pretending you knew better than everybody else.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

More and more reporting? There’s been the Bulpett article, and nothing else. So you go ahead and believe that one article when Shams, Woj, Fischer, Windy, Stein, Lowe, Murphy, and Washburn have all said the Celtics offered Jaylen.

You’re the one working off opinion, at least be honest.

We are all working off opinion and we all have the same access to the news. To pretend otherwise and to imply that those that disagree with you are naive was just arrogance. By the way, Lowe and Washburn are two on your list that have said clearly on their podcasts that they weren’t sure at all if this was an actual offer or just a phone call because the Celtics front office isn’t telling anybody.
