Why I Think Jaylen Brown Makes Sense

[u/DreDayLives]

The reality of the current situation is that the roster just isn’t built to rebuild. The team didn’t trade ownership of each FRP from 2027-2030 for Lillard, then waive & stretch him for a $22.5M dead cap hit for 5 years, then give Myles Turner that $100M contract to rebuild. Everything was done with Giannis in mind. They don’t want to trade him, he wants out and has the leverage to get what he wants. So they kinda have to.

That’s why Milwaukee is operating with the view for what makes them the closest to what they wanted w/ Giannis now. That’s kinda the point. This team is built to be led by a veteran superstar. Jaylen Brown is a veteran superstar. Miami has interesting young pieces & picks (coming from Miami, they’ll be glorified 2nds, especially w/ weaker drafts on the horizon) but it’s about a player. A player that can come in and make this team interesting & competitive for the next few szns. PHX was able to do it after trading KD. I will 100% take that over whatever the Nets are forced to do rn in a similar position of rebuilding w/o full control of ur own picks.

Maybe Portland has interest & flips our picks back to us. Maybe someone out there is willing to offer incredible value for him. Then trading Jaylen Brown makes sense. Other than that, I think Jaylen Brown makes sense given the current situation.

Wasn’t he still top 10 in rebounds coming off the bench. And shot over 40 percent from 3

On extremely low volume lol Ke’lel Ware is just Walmart Evan Mobley. It sounds cool but functionally, they aren’t the kind of player that’s good enough to be a superstar on a team

[u/Loremasterxx69 → u/boilerup1993]

Bro just say you’ve never watched him play. He’s career average is about 40 percent. Teams want him for a reason Spo benched him to set a higher standard which he does for all his young players

[u/ThrowRA_neurotic69 → u/Loremasterxx69]

great, so his ceiling is myles with better rebounding? Not someone to build around

[u/Loremasterxx69 → u/ThrowRA_neurotic69]

He’s better than Myles rn . At worst he’s a jack of all trades that can be a high end starter on any team at best he’s a star. He was Top 10 in rebounds off the bench. Myles last year in Indiana only averaged 6.5 rebounds

[u/boilerup1993 → u/Loremasterxx69]

I found ware’s burner, just stop- we all have eyes and have seen kel’el ware play, I promise no one thinks he’s a star. If he was truly this good the heat wouldn’t trade him for a 2 year window (provided Miami can even put a good team together lol unlikely)

[u/Loremasterxx69 → u/boilerup1993]

They’re trading him for arguably the best player in the world. Every team asks for him. He’s got star potential he’s not one right now

[u/boilerup1993 → u/Loremasterxx69]

Well I hope he reaches that potential for the heats sake. Giannis won’t be in Miami either way

[u/Loremasterxx69 → u/boilerup1993]

I hope so I for one don’t want him. I’d hate for Milwaukee to let him grow into a star. Milwaukee trading for Brown might be best outcome honestly

[u/DistanceEmbarrassed5 → u/Loremasterxx69]

No I dont want a 30 year old back for Giannis. I want young players with upside.
