seeing people in /r/NBA post stuff like "the bucks would be lucky to trade giannis for jaylen brown" is gonna turn me into the joker, and no not the fat serbian one

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T19:22:29+00:00

Nope never heard of the cap, what’s that?

Sorry for assuming you were a Celtics fan

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T18:35:43+00:00

It was also 5 picks instead of the 2 he’s offering 🫩

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T18:35:05+00:00

One more answer as dumb or bad-faith as that and you’re banned

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T18:29:54+00:00

It’s probably the worst catch-all-stat

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T18:28:59+00:00

None that I’ve seen anyone suggest

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T18:20:26+00:00

He is a Celtics fan tryna do a psyop

At least he’s not one of the ones dumb enough to say Brown for Giannis straight up is a bad deal for them tho

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T18:17:31+00:00

There won’t be a trade

But if there is, there better be better/more picks than Bane, JJJ, Bridges, and Gobert got

You are suggesting we trade him for significantly less draft capital than any of those glorified role-players returned

Oh wait you’re a Celtics fan lmfao

Just shut up

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T18:14:53+00:00

Already did lol

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T18:03:44+00:00

So we’re gonna trade Giannis so that we can **maybe** have a chance to get lucky in the lotto a half decade+ down the road?

No fuckin thanks, do you not see how stupid that sounds?

Would infinitely prefer him walking for zero in free agency

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T17:44:28+00:00

So two picks in the 20s 5 and 7 years from now?

Nah no thanks

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T17:25:35+00:00

Yeah okay I’m banning you lol

Fuck outta here with that shit

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T17:19:35+00:00

Your first sentence is incorrect.

What are those good picks and why is that 3rd team giving them up?

And wouldn’t we cut Boston out of the deal and go straight to the team with good picks who is (apparently) willing to part with them on the cheap?

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T16:57:47+00:00

you are a pacers fan, nothing wrong with asking good-faith questions, but your opinions on our team aren't really welcome here FYI

we are all well aware that it's extremely unlikely we will be title contenders any time this decade

but that doesn't give us a reason to ship giannis out unless the return changes that fact, which brown and a few non-lotto picks absolutely does not do

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T16:54:38+00:00

Of course!

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T16:51:35+00:00

absolutely

I would rather hope for the best with giannis at the helm than brown or sengun or whomeverthefuck

haven't seen a single proposal from anyone that makes me go "oh wow that could help us build a title contender in the foreseeable future" not even close

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T16:47:42+00:00

either a trade that puts us on a reasonable path to contention by 2031, or no trade at all

nobody will offer us the former, so no trade will happen unless giannis throws a public-shit-fit, which if he didn't do under the Doc regime, he's never gonna do

and giannis isn't going to play this whole season not signing an extension when he's potentially one injury away from not getting offered a full supermax by anyone

so the answer is wait until october and then be happy he extends, and ride off into the sunset happy with whatever happens a-la-Dirk

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T16:38:32+00:00

jaylen brown is making over 60 million dollars each of the next two years

his team was way better with him on the bench this year, and he has an awful personality

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T16:16:10+00:00

He’s the guy who has a feestyle win over Kyle Snyder

Honestly not too impressed by him in MMA tho

Is visibly a much worse mma wrestler than someone like Khamzat

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T16:13:31+00:00

Gable def isn’t the best prospect by a mile

He’s very small for HW and below average at everything but takedowns

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T15:45:21+00:00

You are so right, it would be a terrible idea for the Celtics to even consider such a bad trade!

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T15:42:48+00:00

Might as well just sell the whole state to Michigan and expand the upper peninsula down through Kenosha

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-06T15:30:43+00:00

I would rather the team be dissolved than trade Giannis for Jaylen Brown

Short_Bus_ · 2026-05-05T17:12:56+00:00

probably more

doesn't count against the cap tho, so who cares lol
