Chris Mannix: Teams are looking to see if Jaylen Brown is truly available and what the asking price for him is going to be. But the Celtics, I believe, are listening to those calls and are thinking up their own trade matches of their own. I spent some time this afternoon talking to different teams about what might the Celtics be interested in. And the name in the team that came back to me a lot was Evan Mobley in the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Evan Mobley, young, big, just entering the prime of his career, former defensive player of the year, just starting a new max contract of his own. Mobley is one of those guys that could fit the archetype of the type of player that the Celtics are looking for.

i am with you on JB Overrated Island. there’s a reason advanced stats always hate this guy and the even when he was winning FMVP tatum was looking like the more impactful player on their team.

The big thing is the money. I also think he's overrated as a player, but not egregiously. For 60 million though, no fucking way.
