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 said numerous times I believe the Celtics offered Jaylen. I still do. my reasoning for believing that was and is based on reporting by woj, shams, KOC, Washburn, Lowe, Murphy, windhorst etc. and I’ve said as much every time. Those are real sources who have echoed and said tthe same thing and helped me form my educated opinion. I even went on and said things are likely at a standstill Imo because the nets don’t feel they “have to” trade KD yet or that they aren’t up against a deadline. Things that have been echoed by shams and others again. So no it wasn’t “just” my opinion. It was an opinion substantiated by some the best in the business and objected to by you a guy who thinks Jaylen is as good as Paul Pierce.
Why don’t u link some of those stories of it being “bs all along”. You are reacting to bulpett’s article from heavy. Why don’t you show me the others who say it’s bs? I genuinely want to read them and you said there’s “more and more” of them so I’d like to be educated. Link them. I’d be curious to read about it. I’m sure you will.
Everything I’ve said has been based off actual reporting by all the people I’ve mentioned above - some of the best in the business. Never once did I pretend I knew better than everyone else - but I do believe woj, shams, KOC, Lowe, murphy, Washburn do. yes I think the Celtics offered Jaylen brown. Absolutely 100%.
The only people who “pretended to know more than anyone else” are the dopes who screamed something was “dead in the water” when they literally have no way of backing that up. We surely don’t know anyone like that do we?
