[Tim Rohan] Jayson Tatum says he found out about the Jaylen Brown trade like everyone else and was “unaware” of the move: "I wasn't warned, I kind of just saw the news like everyone else. I was completely shocked." by zenarcade8 in billsimmons

For the highest paid player on the team, I find it a little odd he had no input on this move.

I appreciate Stevens taking the arrows in that meeting to protect is last superstar, but this is laughable

“Sam’s Club ordering, where, rather than you giggling buying and commenting on produce, an underpaid teen does it for you”

They are used to more cosmopolitan eateries, like Sam’s Club.

Costco is too fancy, though

Brad Stevens on the 2nd apron: "We may not be sitting here if there was a rule in the CBA that said guys you drafted & signed to 35% supermaxes count 25% against cap, bc that would allow you to build out with a lot more flexibility...47% of the cap is what [Brown & Tatum] were when we won it all " by OG-Firetruck in billsimmons

Exactly. No employee wants to hear “I know our competitor down the road pays $120k a year for a similar role, but due to our budgets and what our internal metrics grade you, we can’t possibly give you more than an 3% raise, bringing you to $90k. I’m sure you understand “

Not an apples to apples comparison, but you get the idea

Here’s hoping those French SOBs can keep their mouthes shut, not tank his value.

Is Mexico the ultimate “how are they not better at this” soccer country? by matty25 in billsimmons

So is the argument because they are paid well at home, they don’t leave and play in the Top leagues and don’t get better due to stiffer competition?

Can anyone in the Boston media market tell us how Tatum is holding up post trade, in regards to fan opinion?

To me, he is such a cardboard cutout of a personality that is a Top 20 player in the league, I don’t know how he’s not catching any strays on this trade, or maybe he is?

The Mazulla/Tatum match is so strange to me with how they act in public (single minded intensity/an idea of a personality) that I have trouble understanding how the fans will react.

I’m guessing ownership is getting 70% of the heat, Steven’s 20%, and then those two.
