NOT trading Jaylen....send them Crowder or Smart instead.
If we sent smart we have no backup PG, and crowders contact is about $3m higher then Porzingis, which the knicks may not want to absorb... And Crowder is too old probably to interest a rebuildong /lteam. 'd give up Jalen Brown if it gets us Porzingis.
We cant get too caught up in the usual Celtics fanism of massively overrating the value of all our players. Jaylen Brown is nice, but Porzingis is putting up near all star numbers at the age of like 21.
I hate the idea of trading Bradley more then anything. He's always been one of my favourite players in this team, and I'd hate seeimg him in another Jersey. But if it gets us a Jimmy Butler, im pulling that trigger. I'd send Bradley out with nothing but love, hell of i were a GM id even pay for his new house at whatever destination he goes to just to show how much he is appreciated. But trading him would be a necessary step to its contending fir a title, and so I'd have to do it.
I like brown and Rozier too - i would get no pleasure from sending then elsewhere - but you have to do what you have to do.
