This guy has been carrying us on his back through the playoffs for years now as a very young player in the NBA. I don't think he gets the proper credit

He’s the guy I don’t want to move for Davis. He’s going to reach Khris Middleton level, at least.

Agreed.  If we trade for Davis, Jaylen will be the best 5th starter to fill out that team.

Yeah, I am resolved to have to lose Tatum to get AD and give this roster a better balance and hierarchy, but if it's down to Smart or Brown, you have to keep Brown. Once he corrects his free throw shooting, and he will, he will become a dangerous offensive weapon and elite two way player.

His defensive upside at wing position is what really makes him a good fit.
You could argue that it is better one than with Tatum.
Even though Tatum should be a better player in comparison.

Exactly, with Davis here Brown is a better fit than Tatum or Smart

Yeah Brown is a better fit with Davis than Tatum.  Probably better than Smart too, but that is close.  I hope we somehow keep Brown and Smart.

He might be the #2 3-andD in the league after Klay.

You should be resolved to Davis not being a Celtic because he will not resign here.

So you’re saying we trade for AD he will finish out his career here? Dope.

Brown since March 5th

52.7% FG%
46% 3PT%
61.3 TS%

That's outstanding.

Keeping Brown and Smart while adding Davis would be so good.

If we do have to send Smart I’m expecting to keep the good picks. Hard to believe that Tatum and Smart, by themselves, aren’t much more value than anybody else will offer.

I don't think Brown will ever be demonstrate the pure offensive skills of a Kyrie or Tatum, but you can see how hard he's worked to become very effective on both ends of the floor. He has shown the ability to consistently knock down that corner 3, hit that MJ mid-range post-fadeaway, and drive to the basket at will (on the break or in the half-court). Those are three high level skills that should allow him to continue to be very effective moving forward in his career. And this isn't even taking into account his defense.

Brown has a unique ability to take over a game in spurts when he isn't even one of the go-to players on the floor. He would be an incredible '5th guy' in an AD/Horford/Hayward/Brown/Kyrie line-up.
