Winning solves everything and with JB and Tatum they are a winning team. Not to mention they still had an out this year saying Tatum won't be back to being his old self till next season. Built in excuse to lose in the 2nd round again.I understand not wanting pay that kind of money.....going to be hard to operate with that contract on the books. I even understand going for Giannis at the risk of ruining the relationship
But I feel like all of this was a overreaction to the regular season and playoffs from Boston...they panicked instead of just doing little things to retool around a healthy Tatum and Brown. Like everything was still right there to be a 50 win team and come out of the East
This might be a crazy way to look at it but it almost seems like with a move like this that Boston isnt completely sold on Tatum either....like if you believe in Tatum coming back healthy and being ready to go that was still the best path to a championship....this seems more future focused unless Tatum really didnt mind getting Brown out of their and/or the Celtics make another trade for someone like Trey Murphy
Ive always known Jaylen Browns personality rubs people the wrong way too though
Idk
Nothing makes sense.
I would say maybe Tatum told Brad it's either him or Brown but no way you can keep something like that hidden in the NBA anymore.
Still can't make sense of it.
Sixers just got gifted the the post Embiid years for nothing. I ain't even hating. Shout out the Sixers. That team is gonna be fun to watch.
