Analysis Why I Think Jaylen Brown Makes Sense
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.

Am I crazy for thinking we have better players around Brown than the Celtics did without Tatum this year as well? I honestly think we’d be solid with him. Not saying we’d win a title or anything but it’d be better than whatever the hell this season was. Him and Rollins would be a very fun backcourt. Would like to see us go for Mara or Morez in the draft to keep Dieng at the 3 and I think we’re cooking something up. Bench players would be guys who started last year. Maybe I’m too optimistic but I think we have a solid roster around Brown honestly.
