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.


Lowe absolutely said it was a real offer, I have no clue about Washburn’s podcast. And you say we’re all working off opinion, but you’re the one ignoring what every one of the best nba insiders reported, because you don’t want to believe it.

Shouldn’t what they say hold more weight than what Sam I am on realgm says? I’ll choose to believe the reporters with excellent reputations. And actually, some on here do have access to information that others do not.

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.

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?

I’m not ignoring what people say. Your opinion is that the Celtics offered Brown and all the Nets had to do was say yes and it was a done deal. As if Wyc, Brad, Idoka we’re 100% all in. I don’t think that is what happened - my opinion. You say it did and insist that everybody is reporting it that way….and that is actually not what has been reported. You may be right…..but it is still just your opinion.

Lowe actually mocked fans who think that once an offer is made the Nets only had to click okay and it is over.
"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."

It’s ironic that all those reporters “got it wrong” and we are arrogant because we believed they got it right and it was in fact a real offer and the guy whose screamed something was “dead in the water” as if he has any clue so matter of factly is calling anyone else arrogant. This is bizarro world level stuff.

Btw let’s see those other article he talks about the “more and more “ reporting. Send it over champ

Ah ok, right now you say Jaylen is a top 30 player. Do I have to remember you your opinion about him only few months ago? Or last year and the year before? And so on? The ceiling you and some other put on the guy every f year? And you and your friends do the same thing today.

If the Celtics did actually make an offer wouldn't that be the case? I mean is the Celtics organization so poorly run now that they have rogue guys making offers that other guys are not in agreement on? I would think that if they make an offer, then that's what they're willing to give, no?

You are correct lol. At the risk of sounding “arrogant”, that’s just not how it works lol. Even the worst organization (Kangz excluded) wouldn’t offer up a player/package without complete approval.

Id assume this is how it went. When KD asked out, the first thing Brad did was go to Ime/Tatum and ask about KD. They gave him the thumbs up, so he went to ownership, told them he got some background info on Durant, and wanted to move forward with an offer, which they obviously approved of.

I’m done debating this topic after this, some people just are very stubborn, myself included lol.

Also let’s say hypothetically you were correct (you aren’t) and I’ve never said Jaylen was a top 30 guy until just yesterday, wouldn’t that dispel the notion that I’m a hater? That I’m biased? That I’m take committed? Seems to me that actually would make me capable of being flexible and objective and having the ability to change an opinion if I was wrong.

Not Very “hater” like huh?

Are you seriously comparing selling a car to executing an NBA trade involving franchise players?
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Of course he’s not being literal. But like you said, selling a car versus executing a trade. A trade is a much bigger deal, and no way you talk offers about such a big deal without approval from your bosses.

Id assume this is how it went. When KD asked out, the first thing Brad did was go to Ime/Tatum and ask about KD. They gave him the thumbs up, so he went to ownership, told them he got some background info on Durant, and wanted to move forward with an offer, which they obviously approved of.

I’m done debating this topic after this, some people just are very stubborn, myself included lol.



I think it was just due diligence by the Celtics front office and would expect nothing less than for them to be in any conversations when a great player is available. You believe the Celtics decision was already made to go all in for Durant. Either is plausible and neither of us know. Shams and Woj don’t know either as their reporting were brief tweets. You assume the Celtics talked to Tatum - but you don’t know that. In fact, 25 teams contacted Nets within 1-2 days of notice. With that short amount of time, I bet they didn’t talk to Tatum at all.

Where they go from here….I have no idea. The offer sounds like a low ball exploratory one because it is so far below the asking price made public by Nets. If that offer had been accepted by Nets it still might be bad for Celtics (I believe it is) and Celtics may have been willing to back out. You sure as hell don’t know. The Celtics have said nothing - no denial and no confirmation. Tatum might have been spinning when he told reporters he had no idea but he seemed sincere to me.

I’m ready to move on too - because it’s clear the Celtics already did 2 weeks ago. Honestly, I have no problem with you or your opinion and really no hard feelings and am only stubbornly carrying on because there is nothing else to talk about. I just think you are just doing exactly what the Nets want - overreacting to this leak.

Don’t waste your time. Jaylen Brown is going to have a great year as a Celtic this season.

I'm going to say, the next time this becomes a conversation the thread title will read "would you trade JD for KD." That is all.
