Is jaylen Brown becoming untouchable in the offseason?

It's great having four players on the court big enough to fully cover a shooter like Kevin Love.

Yes!!! He is Kawhi and he still only looks about 85% healed from the hammy. He and Tatum should play together for the next 12 years.

Also Kawhi is injury prone and is essentially a more expensive better version on JB now. AD is not available. He is signed long term and won a playoff series for NO. Why would they move him?

Team of Hayward, Kyrie, Brown, Tatum and Al can play with anyone. Especially with Rozier, Theis, Morris and hopefully Smart coming off the bench. Nice mix of youth and vets and salary cap flex for the present and future. Don’t tinker just to tinker.

Yeah, I'm good with trading Brown and/or Tatum for anyone but Anthony Davis.

Keep these guys and build.

Someone said the same in the GT and I agreed. Posting here to make it offical, lol. I really wanted Kawhi too, lol.

I’ve said it all along and have been described as a homer and having ridiculous takes.

Could not agree any more. Brown is looking more and more like the sure thing.

Spurs would ultimately want him + Rozier I'd imagine. Not worth it, IMO.

The game has slowed down so much for him. He had several drives tonight with just tons of patience. Made some nice passes out of them, missed a bank shot, hit a few. But, just so explosive and under control at the same time.

ETA: The first play of the game with that hesi for a layup within 6 seconds was a thing of beauty and set the tone right off the bat. LeBron even mentioned it in his postgame.

His fadeaways that look like he levitates, even when he takes contact are pure love.

Jaylen was being killed on this board for missing those shots in summer league this year.

Now, he's drilling it in the playoffs. His growth has been unbelievable.

Everything I'm about to post has probably been stated a number of times already but....

You can't realistically have four guys on max contracts, even if ownership is happy to pay a huge tax bill. It is too hard to fill out a roster and keep players etc.

Leonard is objectively a far superior player to Brown and Tatum if healthy, but at the moment you are getting close to All Star level two way production from Brown on the second year of his rookie contract. That value definitely makes up for any difference between the two players. Why give up a player who looks like he could be one of the best two or three players in a Conference Final?

The contract situation in theory should work quite well (hopefully). When Al's contract is up, and if Brown's progression continues like it appears to be, it will take max money to keep him. But second contract max money is not the same as third contract max money, so it should be fine and he just moves into Al's salary spot with a hopefully resigned Al on a much lower figure. Then when Tatum is up for an extension it will be getting to the end of Hayward's contract and hopefully they can do the same thing.

We all said it when Hayward went down, but this time has been insanely good for him and Tatum.

Huh?

Its fairly easy to understand.

I eould accept Kawhi for Terry and picks. But no more.

I would look to trade kawhi again as I dont think he is needed on this team

He understood perfectly what you said.

He was perplexed by the insanity of the logic.

Only for Anthony Davis. Nobody else is worthy.

Ughhh, there's a thread on the general board where all the Lakers fans are coming out and saying Ingram is a much better player than Brown. It's gets a little comical though as when you ask for some factual evidence as to why, you know like stats or something to back up the arguement, they go silent...

The poster wasn't perplexed by your lack of desire to have Leonard on the Celtics. He was perplexed by your approach of trading players multiple times like playing cards.

Same. Doesn't seem logical to trade for a Super Star if the intent is to flip that player.
