Or it could be that people would rather jump to conclusions and put words in people’s mouths rather than actually read and/or listen. Let’s face it, if we see the words “trade” and “Jaylen Brown” near each other, you already get a firestorm of reactions

setting aside the headline, the article itself suggests that although Brown is not agitating to leave right now, there's a sense that if the Celts don't show signs of turning things around, he might be inclined to ask the team for a change of scenery in the off-season.

I don't really see this as a situation where the headline is totally out of sync with the actual content of the article. the article just provides context / hedging language.

But isn’t the bolded something you could say about any all-star-ish player on any team that isn’t a legit contender?  There might be some smoke, who knows, but that is easy speculation to add to any number of players.  It could, for example, apply to Tatum as well.

It certainly could apply to Tatum as well, but with three years left on his deal and a better chance of a supermax before it runs out, compared with two years left and less chance of a supermax, Jaylen is the near-term flight risk.  If it isn’t going well and there’s no clear path to change, this off-season might be when a trade should be made, from both sides.

I love Jaylen (I’m wearing the #7 shirt I bought before he played his first game right now), so I really don’t want to see this happen, but neither Jaylen nor the C’s want to be stuck as a .500 team forever.

I will not be at all surprised if we start to hear stories like this about Tatum, too, if the Celts continue to be stuck around .500.
