Assume we can have two super maxes?

Yes, Cs can have both of them on supermax extensions since both were drafted by the Cs. I think Cs can offer him an extension as soon as next offseason.

Mate he’s not leaving a guaranteed extra 100 million dollars on the table
I mean I know I wouldn’t leave 100mil on the table and there aren’t many players I would want to trade JB for but I do believe some of the rumblings of him possibly wanting out or not feeling wanted, must have some truth to it.
I think with JB’ s edge and fire he must want to be THE GUY and being able to do that in his home city would be a plus especially with Trae gone he would probably avg 30ppg and would be able to carry his own team.
Just spitballing since it seems Atl might be open to listening to offers especially if it’s Rich Paul putting it out there
"I see myself as a guy who is constantly having to prove myself. That’s fine. But in reality, I don’t feel like I have anything to prove to anybody,” Brown said. “I’m going to come out and do my job each and every night, what’s asked of me on a consistent basis. I’m going to come out and get better every year until the day I die. That’s just the type of guy I am. That’s how my brain functions. I like to concern myself less with what others think, but now you get put into these moments and it’s like you don’t have a choice... [Bleep] it, I’m campaigning for myself.”
Brown also said the last couple of weeks of media coverage have taken a bit of a toll on him.
“It’s been a lot, to be honest,” Brown said. “Just a bunch of people chiming in. I see other people kind of running off things that I never said. Rumors lead to speculation. Speculation leads to misquotes and people going out and saying things that I don’t remember saying. It’s just a part of it. I get it that it’s the industry we’re in. Last couple of weeks have been — what’s the word I’m looking for? — It’s been a lot.”

If he didn’t say them it’s very simple to say I’d like to be in Boston long term or I’d like to continue to play with Tatum a long time he can literally kill all of this.

Maybe he feels that would let the front office off the hook for dangling him in trade rumors or not killing the noise. The first article was about him not feeling respected. While it can be seen as selfish, I think it's actually working. His profile has risen.

3rd team is almost a lock

If we're going by deserving, he's not a lock. I just can't see them denying KD (MVP candidate in first half then Suns undefeated when he returns: 8-0) despite the 47 games played. It's not like he was load managing. He made it last season playing just 55 games. These are legacy defining accolades. Maybe they will but I find it hard to believe. Same with Lebron. He has to be a lock. Since Tatum, Giannis and Randle are locks it leaves one spot between Jaylen, Siakam, Butler, Markkanen and AD (depending on whether he gets in as center) so it's not nearly almost a lock except for the media bias, the NBPA pushing for it so he can get he max and the Celtics who need it to happen to have any chance at keeping him, which the league would prefer. He's certainly not more deserving if we're going by production and advanced stats (which Jaylen is the worst among the group).

I think it just shows how much faith the players have (or lack thereof) in the voters/voting process. I do appreciate Jokic’s approach. He doesn’t seem to care lol. Haven’t heard a peep from him about his MVP campaign. The noise is mostly from his avid supporters and the nerd herd.
I also can’t blame JB. There’s a 40M difference (or whatever it is) between making the all-NBA team and not.
