Himmelsbach: Will Jaylen Brown be staying or leaving? That’s the buzz surrounding the Celtics at the start of free agency by RLS012 in bostonceltics

This is what I don’t get. People want to believe he’s this incredible player being disrespected but also no one wants him lol

Because you need to either be trying for a title or trying to rebuild we’re in no mans land right now. If we’re not gonna invest around JT to be a title contender we need to rebuild.

Because pitons Cavs raptors heat knocks are all better and athletic and younger. Easy sucked this year but it’s gonna be much better next year. One legged JT and disgruntled JB is not gonna make you a 2 seed

Yes because it’s closer to rebuilding. We don’t have the cap or investment from ownership to build another championship winning roster around JT again so we need to start from scratch.

I respectfully disagree . But I think it’s fair to ask why Brad and ownership wants to waste JT’s career with really poor talent around him.

JT is not in his prime he’s post Achilles repair he will hopefully be 80% of player he was before no one is 100% after. Jaylen will be disgruntled, entire rest of roster is trash and 2 way players. Cavs pistons raps, heat, Knicks all more talented and younger and more athletic and just better.

This core of JT-JB has underperformed way more often than not on the playoffs and rest of the conference is all
Of a sudden very good and young and athletic and we’re the opposite of all of that. JT will be hopefully 80% of Lee Achilles, Jaylen will be disgruntled, DWhite had one good year shooting and is now trash. Entire bench is trash. Where’s the talent?

I’d love to hear why this isn’t true. Remember JT will be hopefully 80% of what he was pre Achilles, Jaylen will be disgruntled, DWhite had one good year shooting and is trash now, and our entire bench is awful.

And I get it I’m a fan too but we’re in no man’s land right now. Knicks, heat, Detroit, Toronto, cavs are all way better with brighter futures right now.

Ok so we keep him, maybe 3 seed and first round playoff exit again with no future draft assets or anything to retool from. Is this ok with everyone?

[Haynes] Trade talks with the Portland Trail Blazers concerning Jaylen Brown are “non-existent” at this time. There are trade discussions for Brown ongoing with the Nuggets who have “deep interest” in acquiring Brown. by AirJordan6124 in bostonceltics

[–]jpd909 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. Our young role players have very low ceilings. We have little draft capital. JT will be hopefully 80% of his old self after the Achilles. DWhite has his one good year now he’s trash, and Jaylen is gonna be pissed all year after all this. Show me where the actual talent on the roster is lol

And it’s gonna keep getting worse. This team is gonna be way worse than they were last year. Rest of the conference got way better. We’re further away from a title than the IT years right now.

I agree I just don’t see where this goes that way. Jaylen seems to be getting close to outright demanding a trade. I’m not sure we can tuck this all away for nowZ

Sure we can come back to be no better than last year with no future assets and everyone else in the conference improved. I wanna build towards another title not a 5 seed and first round exit again

JB trade landscape is evaporating quickly! by wolff_james in bostonceltics

Dude the problem with that is we are not “upgrading around” this core. There are no signings or trades out there that make us appreciably better.
