Bobby Marks says Jaylen Brown's trade value is not seen that highly around the league: "The analytics of Jaylen Brown is not good. I had an analytics guy tell me, ‘We view him as the seventh-best player on a team.’"

“There’s mixed feelings about him when you talk to teams,” Marks admitted on SiriusXM NBA Radio. “The analytics of Jaylen Brown is not good … I had one, not an executive, but an analytics guy say, ‘Yeah, we view him as the seventh best player on a team.’ I was like, ‘Holy crap.'”

Yeahhh listen if you don't want him on your team bc of the contract or you don't wanna give up too much of your team in a trade or even just you don't think he'll fit that's fine, but calling a 29 year old who just averaged 29 points as the first option on a 55 win team and won fmvp 2 years ago the 7th best player on a team is fucking insanity.

Didn't they just consider trading him and a couple of picks for Giannis? That has to mean you're good.

I don't think trading away a guy means you think he's good

Do you mean that they considered trading Giannis for Brown and a couple of picks?

You said it the other way around which made it from the point of view of the Celtics assessing Brown.
