It already got dumped, just hasn't found out yet. We are in "who is the fifth wing" mode but just need a moment to settle in.

Zach Lowe: "Look again, we're still in mid-July so there's all sorts of whispers and posturing and rumor-mongering and all that. From all that everything I heard, it's a bells and whistles on the supermax thing. Player options, trade kickers, all that kind of stuff... But I have said over and over that I don't love the Jaylen Brown for Damian Lillard one-for-one for either team."

Probably was more realistic for us to trade for him before we got Porzingis.
I guess you could play Towns and Porzingis together. But it probably wouldn't be the ideal fit - probably too much redundancy there..

YAAAASSSSS!!!
this is the second most important thing this off-season (after Porzingis trade)
What gym is that/where is he?

I'd like to see the "Spectacularly dumb TOs" ranking, with the data splits for "Running-into-crowd TOs" being of special interest.
Well I think that is the real issue, is the lack of playmaking for others as opposed to the TOs. Some of them look bad but I haven't seen anyone kill Anthony Edwards for losing the ball even though he does it more than JB.
Issue is he just doesn't create tons of other opportunities relative to his scoring and position. He's #104 in assists per 100 possessions, behind a lot of the more dynamic scoring guys. So he's high volume, middling efficiency, low-medium playmaking. But OG is at the bottom of the barrel in assists in that general category (ie, good wings), so it doesn't make sense to pine for him too much.
I am curious if he was a bad fit for Smart, who was trending towards a 2011-13 celtics era offense of sets and pin point passes, and JB is not a Ray Allen. Cautiously optimistic a more free flowing offense will be better with one guy that sort of end scorer but we will see.

Bring in lesser players and Tatum's probably a Laker in a few years, which would be the ultimate dagger.

Not if the Celtics win. Tatum will get the supermax and will be looking for a ring. At that point LeBron will be gone and AD will be hobbling (again).
If Tatum loves Brown so much, he wouldn't be lobbying Dame to come to Boston (allegedly). Portland isn't parting with Lillard for Brogdon and bits and pieces, even if the salaries matched. Tatum sees all of Brown's dumb plays up close and personal.
