LeBron James on Jayson Tatum: "I just love everything about the kid. The way he plays the game, his demeanor, where he's come from. ... He's just built for stardom."

My takeaway is that if you want to move anyone for another star (Leonard) you move Brown.

My takeaway is that I'm not basing any offseason move on one game. I'm keeping Brown. He had a bad game. If we won last game we'd be talking about how he's a hero who shwed up on the road under pressure. He's gonna be better next year. And cheaper/healthier than Kawhi. Stay the course.


He has to get stronger to guard the post. Next year with the line up they have he will draw tougher assignments

No he won't. He already guards the best offensive player on the other team more often then anybody else on the team besides Marcus Smart. He does  need to get better guarding in the post, but I think he did get better in that area from last year when Lebron abused him in the high post.

All in all I'm very happy with his development. If Tatum wasn't on this team the huge story of this year would be Browns incredible improvement. Just because he's the second best wing  prospect on this team doesn't mean we should lose sight of the fact he may also be the second bets wing prospect in the NBA.

Jeff Green backed Brown in the paint easily a few times Jeff effin Green. Brown was completely outplayed by Jeff Green. Brown is trade able especially for a player like Leonard. Brown is and will be a good player but he will never be close the level of Leonard.
That's a bit of a ridiculous statement, born of frustration.

Brown is 21 years old and still extremely raw. No, he likely won't be as good as Kawhi, given that Kawhi was perennial 1st team all NBA before his injury and widely regarded as the best defensive player in the league, but I think it's absurd to say that Brown won't be "close" to Leonard's level. Brown was more productive this year than KL was in his 2nd and 3rd seasons.

Biggest positive takeaway?

CBS and his staff are going to have to figure out how to get Kyrie, Hayward, Tatum, Al and Brown to play together...and that is a good thing.

Might be easier now seeing what Brown and Tatum can really do

-Tatum is a STUD
-It would be nice to keep Smart
-Irving and Hayward addition next season makes this an easy summer for Danny

unless he wants more and will pursue KAT

No praise for Brown?  ;D

Keeping Marcus and using him where he needs to be used. I know he had to be the #2 PG this run, but he does not need that responsibility. He has to be a hustle/defender on this team. Can they afford to pay him 10 mil plus to do that?

The biggest positive takeaway is that Hayward and Irving are coming back next year.

Tatum is the reason why we won the Bucks series and the 76ers series. Nuff said.

Hayward will probably be coming off the bench for the first few weeks. Eventually we gonna have to upgrade Horford, too. That bench needs fixing though.

We need the same defensive intensity when Kyrie and Hayward comes back.
