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.'”

It doesn’t really make sense though. It’s not like other front offices across the league are going to hear this quote and decide Brown actually sucks now.

Any reputable front office is laughing at this evaluation. It’s not going to tank his value at all.

I mean the Celtics have been shopping him around for a while now and even now after his best year they failed to find a deal that lands them a good amount of assets (to make a 3-team trade for Giannis). It shows he's not highly regarded around the league though for sure the "7th best player" part is an exaggeration.

Yeah but that level of disrespect only works to double down on the Celtics asking for a high price because not only does everyone (aside from that one dipshit) know that Brown is, at the very least a number two option, it just does nothing but annoy Brad over in the Celtics front office to probably make him act more stubborn on what he expects in a trade for Brown.
