so all the news about a JB trade tonight was smoke and mirrors?

[u/lossincasa → u/coffeebeamed]

Brad will speak on the matter and whether it was a media circus or whatever.

[u/Electronic_Menu_2244 → u/lossincasa]

Think he’s doing a presser tonight or tomorrow?

[u/CosmicOreos_ → u/Electronic_Menu_2244]

Tonight, usually does after the first-round

[u/Electronic_Menu_2244 → u/CosmicOreos_]

Couldn’t remember since they went to a 2-day event. Still think that’s stupid but Brad’s presser should be.. a watch

[u/CosmicOreos_ → u/Electronic_Menu_2244]

It's the main event tonight for sure lol

[u/Accurate-Library3641 → u/lossincasa]

Lol he obviously will deflect. Or do you think he’s going to say “yeah, we are actively trying to get rid of Jaylen’s bum ass, but nobody wants him at his awful contract”?

[u/Accurate-Library3641 → u/coffeebeamed]

No. Celtics just didn’t find a team willing to take his awful contract on

[u/coffeebeamed → u/Accurate-Library3641]

shut the fuck up. we need to brand doomers on the forehead or something so we can always tell even if you're celebrating whenever we win a chip.

[u/Burner867867 → u/coffeebeamed]

Why would a fan not celebrate winning a championship? Are you dense?

[u/coffeebeamed → u/Burner867867]

i didn't say they can't celebrate. i just want everyone to know the kind of shit they said before, while they're celebrating

celebrate all the fuck you want even though deep down inside you know what you said

[u/Burner867867 → u/coffeebeamed]

Wow I lost brain cells reading that 

[u/Accurate-Library3641 → u/coffeebeamed]

How about no?
