I'm all for exploring JB trades, particularly in light of the changes to the CBA. However, I just don't see how any JB trade gets done this offseason. Any team trading for him would have to consider him as a one-year rental. What incentive would Brown have to committing or even suggesting he might resign with that team. He wants his Supermax. Also, as soon as any wind of trade discussions comes out (and it will), that could ruin our chance to sign him, even to the Supermax. So, if Brad is going to trade him, he better be willing to come to agreement on that first phone call. I just don't see a deal happening. Seems much more likely they sign him to the Supermax, run it back, and then reevaluate next year (when it will be difficult to trade him at that point trying to find a partner to match the 50m).
