“[KD] and JT are friends. They was working out together and whatnot. So, I wasn’t sure what the energy was. I wasn’t sure what the direction of the organization was.”

Why would he? Zach Lowe and Scal talked about it how Jaylen might be wanting for more to get supermax eligibility.
All young kids are after the supermax now because its now easy to be a 20-30ppg scorer (im not saying everyone can be). You now get Austin Reeves dropping 35-5-5. Adam Silver probably called the Nets to shut down Cam Thomas or the league will be exposed.
All these talented guys need is some opportunity like what the Knicks are giving to RJ Barrett and Julius Randle. Even Mitchell Robinson wants to show the world he’s the next Hakeem Olajuwon by those rumors of him wanting to go to the Clips.
All the young players now is doing an audition for “NBA’s Got Talent” then they’d later consolidate when they got all the money and personal accolades they want. They’re not here to win the championship. Even Dame is not looking to win the championship.
So going back, JB will always be under JT’s shadow and what’s worse is JB’s is like.. “I could be as good or even be better than him if im given the same chance”
And regarding Klay, Klay would probably have a Joe Harris type career if he’s playing for the Charlotte Hornets.
So to bring it further, I wouldnt be surprised if Evan Mobley would ask for a trade somewhere down the road. That is unless they lessen Mitchell or Garland’s responsibility on offense to showcase him more. But would that be better for the team?

If it doesn't happen, we will lose our minimal grasp on the 2nd seed and everyone on here will claim it's because James Harden is secretly playing with a broken ankle he got from sparring Jake Paul last summer. So...I really hope Boston loses tonight to prevent all that from happening.

He'd be foolish to leave. He's getting to coast against secondary defenders while Tatum draws the primary defenders.
Winning a title even at the #2 option is way better that being Batman on his own team without any rings

Their GM thought it would be a steal to not give up that much first rounders.
Partly kidding. But thats how a lot of the world works nowadays.
Who’s the MVP? Let me check VORP.

What if he aspires to be an "all time great" though? He's kinda screwed playing with Tatum because he'll turn into a mercenary if he goes anywhere else.

LOL that is correct.
Which is why I mentioned that his legacy has a ceiling of being a Klay Thompson-ish sidekick.
There's always a possibility that things could go sour and Tatum could go out and then Jaylen takes over the Celtics and makes it his team. Kind of the like the feat Russell Westbrook attempted with the Thunder after Durant quit.

I hope he doesn't get let an inferiority complex or delusions of grandeur steer him to make a dumb career decision. Actually, I wouldn't mind it as a Sixers fan lol. Just as a fan of basketball, I'd want him to make the smart play by staying in Boston and trying to build something special.
